Hey again guys long time no see =).
I never bot at night cause of 1 reason: It disturbs my sleep, because my pc is loud.
Is there any way to run bots, while my pc is hibernating or asleep so it wont make noise, and so I can sleep good?

All help is appreciated and will be rewarded with +rep and a thanks :D


cheers
 
just move your bed or computer out of your room... ^^ or get some ear protectors
 
when your pc is hibernating or asleep it is effectively turned off. so no, you can't bot with your pc off. perhaps determining what is so noisy with your computer, ie a particular fan that is dirty or failing or whatever that could be replaced? is the side off your pc? we need more info to help you.

thanks
 
The fan is fine, i clean it twice a year. and i cant move it of my room, then i cant watch porn, cause my mom would see me ^^. The pc is 3 years old, only 286gb and 3gb ram. Stationary pc, as far from bed as possible, the cpu is often 80-90 grades celcius.
I dont know why, maybe ineffetive cooling?
and thx for trying to help
 
What's the temp while idling? Cause even under a load that's really hot for a desktop.

Is the noise from a fan? Try opening up your case and listening while the computer is running to find out exactly what piece is making the noise. Desktops often have 3 or more fans and one of them could be scrapping against the fan casing.
 
pentium4 or amd older series is loud(high temperature and high cpu fan speed, around 5000 to 6000 rpm).

The most common part in any computer unit that causes the sound is graphic card(high end) , cpu , psu or the casing fan.

like the above forum members said, try provide more information, or open the computer casing to determine what causes the noise.
 
It's best to just build a new rig instead of replace faulty pieces (or out loud pieces). But I have found that for cooling, if you spend the extra 5-10$ vs the cheap ones, it lasts a lot longer and is generally a lot quieter. :)
 
Using the vacuumcleaner to suck the dust out of all the parts also helps to make it silent (since then the airflow is restored again trough the cooling bodies).
Every now and then I need to do it with my desktop PC. It starts to run on it's cooling fans alot.
After the cleaning it's silent again for a month or so :)

Well, I clean my rigs for years with the vacuumcleaner and I don't have issues, but each to it's own I guess :)
Only at work I have airpressure gun to dust out my laptop and that also works without real issues.

Now back to the sound issue...
I have a old AMD XP 3200 running here as well, and it's nearly silent without any modifications except the CPU cooler (I used a towercooler here with a bigger fan). It even has a extra fan in the front of the case.
But they are all big fans that run on low speeds, so that might be as well a more silent way (bigger fans on lower rpm).
Also make sure to keep it away from heatsources (like central heating etc) and make sure it has a airflow (not that you crammed the back of your rig into a closet or closed area).
It's the only sane advice I can give you.
 
I use an air canister that I fill from my air compressor (holds a few gallons and 120 psi). its a lot cheaper than buying canned air & I don't feel like I'm wasting money using it

Vacuum cleaner is perfectly fine. (Just don't get a super-powerful one, or start touching the connections on the mobo/cards/etc) Compressed air is probably safer, but there's no harm in vacuuming it.

I suggest buying a $20 fan (from newegg, or any other PC part retailer really). I'd suggest not skimping on a fan. (Personally, I prefer Zalman, they're super quiet, and *very* good for an air cooling solution)

However, a 3 year old PC is... well... old. I'd say spent a few hundred and upgrade your rig.

I have a 'monster rig' (stats are on par with high-end web servers) that I can barely hear under full load. So it really depends on the parts you use.

He didn't say build a new rig instead of replacing the fan. He used a blanket suggestion. There could be more than one faulty device in the rig, and also the rig itself is outdated at best, so building a new and up-to-date rig would be the better advice, but if money is tight then replace the broken parts as it tends to be cheaper.

I understood what Kickazz was saying to mean what I just said, but if he didn't mean it that way then I guess I was reading more into than I should have. Either way, it was good advice.
 
i once shoved a piece of plastic in my graphics card fan to stop it from turning it was that annoying
