Interesting. I had a local guy build me a new tower last month and it
is pretty noisy. I had always assumed it was the 2 fans on the
graphics card but doing a little testing I have found that the 2 fans
in the case are the culprit. I am betting it is the front one.
Looks like I need to begin a search for a "quiet" fan that delivers
the flow to keep this sucker cool.
Good tip about SpeedFan. I have used Core Temp in the past and
although it doesn't provide as many monitoring points it does offer a
setable shutdown point and that has saved me a few times.
Unfortunately it does not play well with AMD so I running on the edge.
Thanks for the post.

If you remove the fans from the case and then run them, do they make a
lot of noise? (It's ok to run the PC for a few minutes with the fans
loose.) I've got to wonder if part of the noise isn't vibration related.
Noise/sound is vibration related, by definition. As has
already been revealed in this thread, there are a lot of ways for air to
make a sound. Some of them are sneaky!
Yes (with regard to your point below), washers may help if there is room.
You might eliminate the noise with a couple of plumbing washers.
