Notebook fan noise

Published on April 19, 2012 By kona0197 In Personal Computing

I can hear my notebook's fan quite clearly while the notebook is on. It's really loud. It has a AMD processor. I thought that AMD processors fans run a bit quieter than this. What can I do? Any software to install? There is no setting in BIOS for the fan, none in the software that came with the notebook. Just curious if this if a defect.

A lot of others are reporting the same thing. Looks to be a design flaw from the beginning.

Hey kona a loud fan is not always because of dust it might be not screwed up tightly and may have a gap or the ball bearings wasnt oiled enough i had the same problem once with a new fan i used " Mineral oil -.you can get that from your drugstore that has pharmacies " dont use vegetable oil and only try this if its in reach and your sure you wont drop it anywhere else...
Slowing down a fan requires an adapter or if you are experienced enough you can simply pole (do a reversion) ...my bad its a laptop ok since its a laptop i would recommend to change the fan since i dont know of any program that is able to reduce the the poweroutput of the batterie and the individual powercables.
Maybee your fans are listed in the Bios itself that would the only option i could think of atm.
