Noise reduction measures can be divided into three levels. The source of the noise determines the level at which your problem is solved.

First level

Check for the presence of the rubber feet on the bottom of the case and place them on a flat surface. If the feet are missing, replace them, or place the computer on a rug or other soft surface. If the room is warm or the computer overheats, you can use a cooling stand. It will cool the computer and absorb some of the noise and vibration.Learn 10 simple tips on how to control your computer's temperature.

It is sometimes easier to hide your computer under a desk or other enclosed space to get rid of noise. However, this can be a risky decision: due to the increased thermal insulation, the fans will spin more often and for longer. If the fans caused the initial noise, then the problem will only worsen. When setting up your computer, make sure that there is at least 7 cm of cooling space on each side of the computer.

Second level

If simple solutions don't work, you have to dig deeper. Remove the cover from the computer and check all attached parts: screws, gaskets, and grommets. If anything is loose, tighten. Replace worn gaskets and bushings.

While the cover is removed, use a soft brush and a can of compressed air to remove dust from the inside of the computer. Do not press on the fans with compressed air. They can go bad. Blow dust out of the fans thoroughly.

If the hard drive is the source of the noise, then consider switching to a solid state drive (SSD). If the hard drive makes unusual noises, it is likely to break. It is very important to immediately copy data from it, since then they can be lost without the possibility of recovery.Learn more about the benefits of solid state drives.

Third level

If the above steps do not work, then the problem is much more serious. Replace old fans with more powerful ones. Find out the physical dimensions of the installed fans and order new ones of the same size. This way you can be sure that the fans will perfectly fit into the space of the computer. If possible, order a model with higher airflow and lower decibels.

If the power supply overheats, then it probably cannot withstand the increased load from the updated components. Consider buying a new power supply with cooling fan.
