Reduce Fan Noise
mkbot
✭
I recently got a computer built at MicroCenter, for the computer I chose Lian Li SL120 fans. Whenever I run anything, they tend to run quite loud regardless if I’m running anything, they run at 900rpm but I can’t get it any lower, any tips to make it quieter through the software?

You should be able to make your fans run at a slower speed or even turn off all together when they are under a certain temperature automatically. If you already have the line curve down as low as you are comfortable with, then you might need to have better cooling for you components, so that they run cooler and won't need the case fans as much. Something like a good AIO if you don't already have one. Rubber grommets instead of fan screws can help.
Hopefully this guide can help you set them up.
