darkblackcrow Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 With the fluctuation in speed and temperature in a mobile CPU you reallly don't want to be messing with the fans. If it is making a noise it's because it's hot, so you really don't wanna mess. Try making sure there is air passing under the laptop by placing it on a solid flat surface like a desk or dining table (ie. not the carpet, bed or your lap). Also shut it down for 10 minutes and give it a chance to cool naturally. If you are running CPU intensive programs then it is only to be expected, no matter what CPU it is.

youyou Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 thanks darkblackcrow, i took my laptop apart tonight and figured out it's the hard drive that is noisy, i figured out the reason people post disassemble procedures online is because they want to get rid of their noisy hard drives, haha, i think i am gonna do that too. thanks again :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
