There is no shortage of silent air coolers, such as the NH-D15, that are 20-30 dBA and undetectable unless the only noise in the room. It's usually stock case fans that are the culprit.
- threeseed 3y agoIf you're running a PC with a dedicated GPU then you will have minimum 6 extra fans. 3 for the GPU and 3 for the case. The latter are pretty noisy and constantly run.

- tomnipotent 3y agoSure, loud fans are loud but anyone that cares about noise is not using OEM fans, and picking up something from Noctua/Arctic. It's also common to upgrade to 140mm fans which further reduces noise.
