Hello all.
So, I was tired of my very noisy system. I figured I would achieve some quietness by moving from a Thermaltake spedo to the Define R4 (without door).
The problem is, my system is now only very marginally quieter. The noise it makes is lower-pitched, but I don't think the noise level has decreased all that much.
So, I'm wondering if someone else has had this problem? and if not, if anyone has an idea what is wrong with my system. Was there a connection that I could have missed?
A couple of details:
1) I haven't noticed any difference when switching from 12V to 7V or 2V on the front panel switch. I haven't noticed any difference in the strength of the air expelled by the back fan either.
2) My processor cooler is a Zalman CNPS 9700 LED. I know it's a noisy fan, but it was noisy in my previous system as well, and shouldn't its noise be dampened by the "silent" case ?
Thanks in advance for your help
