Loud fan?

[Simon]

I've noticed my processors fan isn't too bad, but my graphics card fan is really loud, even when idling. Now I've looked into this, ans several others have found a similar problem.

What would be a reasonable solution?

It's an Nvidia GT 220
128-bit
1GB DDR3 RAM
1080p HDMI

has nvidia physx and all. I do not wnt to replace it, just fix up the fan.

Should I find another fan? Or maybe consider water cooling?




Just to let you know, I'm using a Dell inspiron 545

Is it overheating? If not you probably just have the fan set to max

 

[Simon]

It's definitely not overheating. Like I said, it does this while idling even


I checked out reviews on newegg, others also found the fan was loud. It's just a bad fan to be honest.


Would you reccomend replacing the fan or possibly water cooling my entire system?

I wouldn't suggest water-cooling unless you are doing crazy oc'ing, cuz it would be just a waste of money. And I guess just get used to the fan, my computer sounds like an airplane cuz I got ten 80mm case fans, two ps fans, two 120mm cpu fans, and my video card fan XD

XD lol, alright. Thanks fir the help.

If I do start oc'ing, I might water cool though. My processor is capable of 2.8 with stock heatsink and power supply and fan
