Fix your pc with peanuts...that's nuts

Tweet

I have my pc on my desktop so it really is a desktop computer It's there cause i don't have much space in my room especially since i bought 140x200 bed for me and my girlfriend. So my pc is like 30cm from my head so yes it bothers me if it's loud. I'm in a constant struggle with it trying to make it silent. So far i changed cpu fan and it helped a lot, i hoover the case all the time, recently i even bought a hard drive cooler that i recommend to all users. Things that cost say 10$ can improve lifespan and reduce noise and heat. Anyway why the title? As crazy as it sounds i actually used a peanut can to cool my pc. I removed the can bottom with can opener(very convenient) and i placed it on my cpu fan. It was just the wright length so that the can touches the case wall. My theory is that this way only the cool air from outside the case comes to the fan and therefore it lovers temperature. That's the theory but we'll see in a couple of days. I also tried to do something about the dust...i bought fan filter for 2$ but couldn't use it because there wasn't enough air flowing in so the temperature got higher. My pc is 5 years old and in great shape but when i'll decide it's time for new one i'll thing hard about how to keep it dust proof and silent. And i'll build it. Have you heard of some crazy ideas like sinking your pc into oil to keep it cold or building a case out of fans? Crazy or not if it works i'd do it. How do you maintain your pc? How loud is it and where do you keep it? Oh and speed fan is program with which you can monitor temperature of hard drive and cpu and case if my long discussion made you worry about overheating. Have a great day myloters
