My problem is this. It is so loud!! I know it is supposed to be loud for the cooling it is doing, but my desire is to have it not idling this loud when browsing a forum, haha.

Is there anything I can do that will not void a warranty or something? I am fine with some noise and I would be more than be glad to pay for new fans if I have to be satisfied.

I don't know how much more I can say... it really is simple. It is loud and I'm desperately seeking a solution for this beautiful machine :D

All else said and done, digital storm - you rock!

In the reviews most if not all of them said the haf 932 was relatively quiet. How loud would you say yours is (blow dryer, leaf blower or jet engine loud)

open your case and see where the noise is coming from, those 1250w psu can be loud and one the reasons why I don't like the pre-builds so much, but its personal preference.

anyways open the case and see if the noise is coming from gpu or psu.

if its gpu then you just set the fans to auto on them, using the app precision, if its the psu, then there is nothing you can do.

My guess would be the GPU's  I got a HAF prebuild also and the case fans are relatively quiet, but since so much of the case is grill you can really hear my GPU fans when they crank up, which is pretty much all the time since I am crunching with it any time I'm not on it.

ok then good, now the fans on auto means that they will run on high only when the gpu is under load so, when its under load its gonna be loud but when its idle it will be quite.
