the cpu doesn't make any noise :-) ( sorry couldn't resist )
and if it did, you have more serious problems than just noise
to get rid of the noise ..
- upgrade the fans to a good ball bearing fans
- clean your fan blade of dust
- sharpen the leading edge of the fan blades
- do NOT block air flow with cables interferring with
the direction of airflow
- if you dont know which way the air is flowing, light
a lighter inside and see where the flame is pointing
or to be safer, use incence or cigarettes
- if you do close up all the little noisy holes
and seems, make sure you have a big/giant hole someplace
( like leave a cdrom drive bay open or side cover off )
- air moving thru small holes and seams is what makes the noise
- make giant holes ( the size of the fan ) and close
all seams and all holes smaller than the fan size w/ tape
- air flow should only flow in one direction and NOT interfere
or run perpendicular to any objects ( including heatsinks )
- tons of stuff to help quiet down the machine w/o going into
noise cancellation ckts and (noisy) air ducts
