It is sooo noisey I can barely hear myself think.

[biojo]

at a gues the yellow pulse cable will have buggered up inside the fan so itll be giving a total false reading..

is it a chasis fan and not cpu? just buy another n i wouldnt leave it runnin if its makin a weird nose tbh

 

[brisa4984]

[C.slicker]

lol at Brisa.

No I have had the problem before and the computer guy sorted it.

He said it was simple but I can't for the life of me think what it was.

Any ideas?

It can't be a new computer!

It cost 1000s about 2yrs ago.

Dual processor and 4gig of ram etc...

could be something simple like the fan not sitting right. Have you or anyone else moved the base unit?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Try cleaning the fan . There could be a lump of s**t stuck to it causing it to be imbalanced .

 

[C.slicker]

No but I do rest my feet on it.

Maybe I have kicked it.

I'll have a look.

Brb.

isn't it like 2 screws? could just be dust in the fan, my old one was like that.

If the fan is knackered, get one from ebay or an online store.

Do NOT go into any kind of computer shop for one, you'll be charged an arm and a leg.

When I replaced an 80mm fan a few months ago, my local pc shop wanted £8 for one! I got one off ebay for just over £1.
