computer's fan buggin

[WESTBOUND]

anybody got any suggestions on how to quiet your computer when u record?

If you have no heat issues turn down your fan speed if possible. Or record in a place that is as far away as possible from your computer. Or get a watercooling system, which probably won't happen but that's another thing. There are also aftermarket fans out there that are quiet and come with big heatsinks to make up for the fanspeed. If you have a computer from an OEM manufacturer such as HP, or Dell, chances are that the heatsink/fan combo will not fit inside your computer however.

Even with water-cooling, you still have a pump that spins and creates noise. Those systems have reduced noise but not eliminate it. Read up on the chipset your mainboard uses, chances are you can remove the fans and be just fine as long as you're not overclocking. You can also use external harddrives in those acoustically sealed cases. Or for that matter, just put your computer under your desk/workstation/whatever, and surround it with acoustical foam attached to MDF.

There's all kinds of ways to deal with computer noise problems. I've seen all kinds of creative things.
