The PSU fan in my PC is a bit louder than I would prefer, and I'd like to know whether it can be slowed down by any software so that it could quiet down a bit? Thanks

No, but you can buy a PSU with thrmally controled fans that run ONLY when the temp rises and it's needed to cool it

Well we need to know the make and model of the case before we can answer any questions about it. Most likely, no, there is not too many cases where you can change the fan speed. I would recommend and Anrtec Case, the PSU fan actually doen't need to turn on most of the time, and the one oversize case fan that blows in the back, is pretty quiet, and you can even slow that one down a little by hitting a switch inside the case.

The PSU fan is wired directly into the PSU, so no software control is available. It might be possible to rewire the fan to run off a lower voltage available inside the PSU, but I do not recommend it. If noise is a big issue, replace it with a quieter PSU.

Hi there,
Cleaning the register is a good way of improving the performances of your pc and eliminate malwares and trojans. A program I trust is CCleaner http://j.mp/UrAJjz
It's a very simple and nice software.
Best

No. You can't use software to slow down your fan. Also, it is running at that speed for a reason and slowing it down could lead to overheating problems!

Sorry man, you're outta luck with the software idea. However, you can buy fan controllers from various places. These are pieces of hardware that let you control how fast the fan spins.
If you have any further questions, email me and I can help more.

that is going that rapid because of the fact it needs to. you could attempt placing the fan velocity at a relentless making use of "SpeedFan" yet you ought to harm your gadget. you ought to ensure which fan is definitely inflicting the noise. If it happens throughout 3-D gaming, that is probably your GPU. If it is your CPU fan, it probalby merely desires a cleansing. in case you have thermal grease, you could attempt reseating it and cleansing it, that should assist shrink the wide-unfold temperature. yet for now, get a vacuum in there and suck out all the airborne dirt and dirt that is in between the followers and extraordinarily interior the fins under the followers.
