I have a Sonata II case for my computer with the stock (430w Antec) psu, a 120mm exhaust fan and my cpu and gpu fans running, and the thing is friggin loud. I have no idea what it is decibel-wise, but it's louder than any of my friends' computers. I'm thinking it's because of the 120mm exhaust fan running on high constantly to keep my cpu idle temp in the low 30s C, but I'm not sure. I'm using the stock heatsink and fan that came with my AMD 64 3000+, so should I buy a nice big one to replace it so I won't have to have my exhaust fan running on high? I'd really like to quiet this system down.
Edit: I don't have the internal tube thingy that comes with the case set up since I don't have a fan for it. Would this make it quieter?
