tofu2go Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I was wondering how loud is a gf3ti200? I have watercooling and my system is still loud... I could either be the gf3ti200 or the psu fans (2 ball bearing fans). I'm not sure which is the contributer to the noise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I doubt it would be the graphics card. lol More likely the PSU fans and the HSF on your processor Thread Moved to Hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which is the contributer to the noise... i have a geforce3 ti500 and i dont think it contributes to any of my noise.. (3 case fans, 2 psu, hsf) i wish mine was quieter :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyy4 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 A GF3Ti200 should not make any noise at all. The noise could be caused by a malfunctioning fan, usually the power fan. When you first start up your computer, check for any fans that are spinning at an unusually slow speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvo Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 PSU fans can get QUITE loud. It is the whole reason why Enermax & PC Power and Cooling have silent PSU units. One thing that might help is to lubricate those fans. WD40 always helps ;). Your video card can get loud if there is a ton of dust around, but knowing you that you have a water cooling system I surely hope your keeping it clean.

tmorris1 Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Stop the fan with your finger and see if the noise goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
