Do not even think of it ! Move the computer away from you or something.
if you want to see what happens just shut down unplug the power and unplug your fan, power back up and start using your computer.
You might have a BIOS option to only speed the fan up when the CPU heats up to a specific Temp.

There are several fans in the average PC.
There's one on your power supply, there's one on your CPU, and one on most modern video cards too.
All of these fans are there for a reason. These devices put out alot of heat, and they can be damaged if they overheat.
You can get "Fanless" power supplies. Antec, SilentX, SilverStone and Thermaltake all come to mind as manufacturers, there are probabily a few I've missed.
You can also replace the fans inside your system with a "Liquid cooling" system. This runs water through flexable tubes to specially made blocks that replace your heatsink on your CPU, Video card, RAM, Harddrive and Chipset. It then runs the warm coolant through a heat exchanger which has small, quiet fans on it. In a decent system, these fans are keyed to the temperature, so that they only spin up into high gear if the temperature starts to raise in the componants in question.
Personally, I run a liquid cooled system I put together with parts from a company called "Coolance". It's run quite well for me.

Theres going to be lots of fans in your computer, some can be controlled, some can't . most are necessary, some aren't
If the fan cord has three wires instead of two, and plugs into the motherboard it can be monitored and controlled using fan monitor programs.
if it has just two wires in the plug and does not plug to the motherboard theres no way to control it.
there may be unused fan plugs on your mainboard. (plugs that would allow smart control of the fan speed) if the fan you want to quiet doesnt plug into the mainboard you can replace it with one that does
I'm betting that the fan you want to quiet is the case fan in front or back, or the power supply fan. deffinately dont disable the power supply fan. but the case fans (three inch fans that dont directly blow on anything, just move air through the case) can be disabled. I wouldnt recommend doing it unless you have a program to monitor the CPU and Mainboard temps.

sure, you can unplug the fans. or better yet, put a pencil in the fan blades. that'll stop them.
of course your computer will overheat and suffer a meltdown, but that's the price you pay for quiet.
Seroiusly, if it really bothers you, get a quiet case. I have an Antec Sonata and it's pretty quiet, but is it worth $100 to you?

hi, CPU followers are meant to run each and each and every of the time. sluggish downs on pc's should be because of the kind of classes operating on the time or per chance a fragmented hardcontinual. somewhat better memory ought to help yet i ought to do with understanding the pc specs to be better particular.

Use a program called SpeedFan. But the fans are there to keep your computer cool so they don't overheat. If you use this program, to stop your fans, you may break your computer.

Maybe try removing the outer cover, or putting the computer in an open area.

They may be loud, but they're cooling down your comp. Mine are quiet but when the comp gets real hot, they get really loud. To edit your BIOS reboot your comp then press F1 once you see the HP Logo (blue screen).

How much memory are you using up on your hard drive?
