Can you get rid of the noise by putting your computer in a box?

Question

Do it yourself

The computer makes a lot of noise, the idea came to put it in a box, sheathe it with soundproofing material and leave a couple of air holes. Will it help?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue. At some point, the noise from the computer began to annoy me so much that I declared war on it, to the bitter end. It ended in complete victory: I replaced the power supply with a silent one (without fans), I put a huge heatsink on the processor (also without a fan), and of course I spun the video card and somehow attached a heatsink to it, also without a fan. Of course, along the way, I replaced the case, by 3 times more. In the case, I still have a couple of fans, relatively large and quiet enough. Earlier, when guests came to me, I offered to listen to how quiet my computer is now. The question was usually: "Does it work?" Good luck. (Yes, and SSD)

Answer 2

Fans will have to be hooked onto this pair of holes, and as a result, it will work out for that, it will only start whistling :)
And so, in order to know what to do, you need to know what is "buzzing" in you and in which ear, for example, the last remaining one annoys me a screw that I can’t change to an SSD for laziness :)

Answer 3

putting it in a box can suffocate

Answer 4

Usually the sound comes from the back wall, you can make a U-shaped protection, for example, from polystyrene or an analogue so that the edges go a little on the case (but there was a gap between the case and the protection) and this will significantly reduce the noise.

Answer 5

I put 120mm fans everywhere. They spin at a slower speed.
And yet, removed the fan on the case.
