Hey guys i replaced my old heatsink with one of these and the differnce is unbelieveable... my computer used to sound like a lawn mower.

can anyone suggest a solution to my next problem ...


i believe it must be my HDD - it is making like a vroom vroom noise ... its a samsung 250 Gb drive.

If i could get rid of this noise i would have a completely noise free PC for recording ..

thanks

Sounds like the vibrations from your HDD are passed on to you chassis.
There are several solutions to this problem.
You could get special screws that have a rubber grommet on them. You could also mount your HDD in a 5.25" bay with isolation adapters or suspend it with rubber bands. You can find some good stuff here .
I hope this will help you.
