Windows might be detecting Ventrillo as a voice communication program. Go into your Windows sound settings by typing "Sound" search. Then go into the Communications tab and change the settings to whatever you like. Edit: Discard my answer as I've seen that you've tried. Try going into Ventrillo...

Not sure how I could test the PSU fan noise. I've checked the GPU and that's not it, locked it from 30% to 20% and noise was the almost the same. Edit: Not the PSU fan, most noise coming from CPU cooler, guess I'll have to deal with it.

Thanks for the reply Jack, I might grab one of those Phanteks' to replace my 140mm stock exhaust fan. For the front I can't go with 3x140mm if I were to stay with three fans in front. I can either go 2x140mm or 3x120mm in the front. Not sure which one would be better though.

Hey guys, here with another question for you all. At the moment, I find that my case fans are rather loud so I've been wanting to switch them out for something quieter/just as good or better performance wise. I've narrowed my choice down to 2 choices. The Noctua NF-F12s PWM ...

I haven't tried any of those, but for right around 100$, you could pick up a HyperX Cloud I or II. I have it and it's great. Biggest issue with my old Kraken Pro's was the discomfort it gave my ears after 2 or 3 hours of having them on.

Haven't tried them myself but there are a lot of positive reviews about people loving the sound and comfort. It is a fairly expensive piece of equipment so if you have the cash to throw down and are an audiophile, go for it. There are other cheaper alternatives that will probably satisfy you...

I would go with the AMD solution since it's that much cheaper and she won't be doing any intense tasks. You could use the saved up 120$ to put an SSD in there if desired.

You won't be able to upgrade the CPU in that laptop. Laptops are usually not able to be upgraded (excluding HDD and RAM) to the exception to certain laptops in the very high-end bracket.
