How to do case noise
I believe that manyComputerUserClearly, in the hot summer months, heat and noise never seems difficult to live in harmony. Chassis noise how to do? If you do anything at this time to face the noise, then look at our uniform noise. “Unique skill”: Will create a soundproof enclosure play space inside the chassis to maximize absorption and noise barrier to achieve the purpose of reducing noise.
Noise reduction principle
I was two years before the computer configuration, CPU and graphics card are using Intel P4C 2.8GHz and ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB. To mute the effect of the radiatorChooseThe ZALMAN (think China) 6500B-CU and ZM80A-HP (Figure 1), their relatively low operating noise. In addition, Antec TruePower 380S power is not “noisy.” However, two PATA hard drives inside the chassis and a SCSI hard disk noise problem has notSolve。
Maybe a lot of friends will be questioned, the face of a chassis need ventilation space, how to build a relatively closed box “sound room” mean? The answer is closed properly handled and the rational use of sound-absorbing cotton. Sound-absorbing cotton was firstApplicationIn audio equipment, as a means of sound regulation. Now, some high-endCarIn the design of the car stereo, the use of sound-absorbing cotton to produce the effect of noise has become an integral part.
In the computer field, there are some sound-absorbing cotton manufacturers learn the car’s design,DevelopSome specific products, currently in the country can buy AKASA theProfessionalSound-absorbing cotton PAX.MATE (Figure 2), and our transformation from its start.
Sound-absorbing cotton posted
First of all the chassis parts are removable, two inside the chassis side, top and bottom pasted most of the area is ideal for sound-absorbing cotton. The face of a large area of flat space, we just cut out the right size sound-absorbing cotton, up one on the line.
AKASA the PAX.MATE absorbing cotton design with a single-sided self-adhesive stickers, sticky layer as long as the tear resistance, directly to the chassis can be posted. Note that when the self-adhesive stickers do not rush, starting from the side, align the pressure slowly to ensure good sound-absorbing cotton affixed to the inner surface of the chassis (Figure 3).
Addition to the larger side and up and down the plane part, the author of the Antec Sonata case the same hard drive and optical drive sound-absorbing cotton paste, but paste these parts of the sound-absorbing cotton, the need to hard disk and optical drive screw holes on the sound-absorbing cotton appropriate hollow.
Installation of fan
I will be the chassis number of larger flat surface area of PAX.MATE are labeled AKASA sound-absorbing cotton, and finally the motherboard, CPU coolers, video card, hard drives and other accessories eleven Replace the computer. Close the computer cover, the author on the backplane of the chassis is also fitted with a 12cm fan (Figure 4), and speed control panel with a ZALMAN (Figure 5).
This is mainly taking into account the internal chassis sound-absorbing cotton affixed after cooling the chassis will have some impact, so the appropriate use of low-noise fan to enhance air circulation within the chassis to improveSystemOverall thermal performance. Meanwhile, 12cm fan speed controller adjustment after almost no noise.
Conclusion
After some transformation, inside and outside the box is close to two isolatedWorldBecause when closing the chassis side after previously aware of the hard drive is easy to sound almost hear it now. I use the decibel meter 10cm away from the chassis where the test noise, measured noise control in the case of the level of 30dB (like a soft-spoken), the effect is very significant. Of course, if more cooling holes on the chassis, the effect of that transformation may be less obvious.
Currently, AKASA sound-absorbing cotton in the country of PAX.MATE more readily available. The cost, this Sonata case of PAX.MATE spent two sets AKASA sound-absorbing cotton (each is two, 500mm × 450mm), spent less than 100 yuan, so the transformation is suitable for those chassis noise requirements are very high players.
