Fan freak going mad

Since I started on the forums i was the fan freak with the Antec LanBoy idea and now my personal rig "DEMANDER"(6 fans). I'm kind of hating the noise I get. Not loud but hearable due to enclosed desk i build.

I went from 6 case fans to 4 and 2 on my cooler.
I was wondering if i could remove the cpu fans?
I have a Cooler master Hyper 212x and 1 intake in the front, 1 intake at the back and 2 top exhaust?
and would it help if I add vents to the side of my desk?

Any recommends and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

If you remove the fans on your CPU cooler then the CPU will get stupidly hot and be unusable.

Use a fan speed reducer or turn them down via the bios :)
 
Do you have a pic of your setup?
Is it possible that there are fans running against each other so that you don't have a good stream though your system? I am currently sitting besides a PC with 8 fans (2 CPU, 2 GPU, 4 Case) and the thing is silent. While gaming the loudest thing will be the GPU.

Are your fans running at 100% all the time?
 
Insulate the desk enclosure with a sound deadening material.
Like what?

I control the two exhaust (50% 1200rpm) and one cpu fan (25% 650rpm)
the two intakes is 100% (i assume) molex connector.

^as above^. I will upload pics when I get my LG G3 maybe tomorrow.
I won't know but i''l get pics and do the paper test this weekend. Maybe you can suggest a set up for me. Case gigabyte luxo m10
 
Without a detailed image it's just guessing.(other than deadening mats)

Possible errors you could check (sample image attached, fans marked)
Note: Some of this should be common sense but I#ve seen it all :/

Since Fan 4 will, in this case, alway blow "down" i will not address this further.

Error 1: Fan 2 and 3 are blowing against each other. Thereby warm air will go up- and downwards. Step by step everything will get hotter, fans faster etc. Not good.
Error 2: Fan 2 and 3 are both blowing richt. Fan 1 left (outwards) and fan 6 into the case. You won't get enough fresh air. Furthermore Fan 2 will get warm air from fan 4.

List goes on, but in this case you could:

Fan 1 is the exhause. Fan 2 and 3 are blowing air from right to left. 6 delivers fresh air. A Fan at the side willl also deliver fresh air. You have a steady stream from front to back and the only thing you will have to do is leaving enough space behind the case to dissipate the warm air.

Btw: this setup (AMD FX 8350) ran at 4,5 GHz with 15°C idle and 55°C working at full throttle. While making no noise at all most of the time. Fans: Scythe Slip Streams, Cooler: Mugen 4

Case was a Aerocool V3C BE, which is smaller than your mentioned case.

i'm sick.

I have been sick and most of my browsing has been done on my lg g3. It's amazing. No struggle.
30% fan noise reducers, I got 5 from that popular auction site for under £3
Will have a look

I can't give you any pics untill i'm healthy but i'm up for any suggestions my case is a gigabyte luxo m10. Thanks for the help. Will be of much help when im healthy.
 
It's ok you can say ebay, Amazon or even Scan on here without people getting butt hurt and banning you, Unlike other overclocking forums who seriously need to grow up.

I know, but just of late I'm hating on Feebay! Screwing over the little man, sellers have no rights pretty much anymore.
 
I can't see any problem with my set up. Just want it to be quieter and more efficient
Green arrows is intake
Red arrows is exhaust
