Noisy cooling on Satellite A300 module

I bought myself a Satellite A300-1mc and I wondered how noisy, they should be.
My old (first) Toshiba laptop A100-147 (xp) cooling system was so quiet.
Could hardly hear a thing but as soon as Vista starts on Sat A300 it becomes noisy.

Then after a few minutes the fan will get stronger going a bit then more calm then start becomes stronger. Is this normal?

How noisy is your laptop?
I find it strange that a laptop can be twice as noisy as any other

Hello

You compare the model of different laptops with different hardware specifications.
First A300 supports a stronger CPU and I presume that the GPU also provides more performance.
The two parties create a lot of heat dissipation and this hot air must be cooled properly.
This means that the cooling fan must be larger and should it run more quickly to ensure good cooling.
The other reason is that Vista needs much more resources than Win XP one so internal devices to produce more heat than using Win XP.

These are the two reasons why the cooling fan is louder and run more quickly on an old series of notebooks with low hardware requirements and Win XP.

  • Satellite A200-1TW: noisy cooling because of dust module

    Hey,.

    My fan getting stronger day, and I think it's because there is a lot of dust inside my fan.
    I have my laptop for about a year now and live in an old house (= a lot of dust), so I was wondering: are at - it a tutorial somewhere on how to open it?

    I can't find anything on this site and on google either.
    The closest thing I found was this http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/02/04/toshiba-laptop-disassembly-manuals/, but unfortunately, it does have my phone: (.)

    So I was wondering, does anyone have a tutorial on how to do this?
    They or some experience with it? For the most part, I wonder if I have to take off too low, or the keyboard?

    Oh and one last question: what is my warranty? If I open my laptop, I lose it?

    Hello

    > Oh and one last question: what is my warranty? If I open my laptop, I lose it?
    This is the main reason why you should not disassemble your laptop!
    First of all, you will lose the warranty second could damage other parts!

    I ve you have another suggestion. Why you n t clean using a jet of compressed air fans?
    There are sprays various compressed air designed specially for these procedures.
    This will help you to remove the dust and debris of the cooling modules

    I cleaned my fans several times using compressed air that helped a lot of time

  • Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
    I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
    All settings are OK...

    The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello!

    In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

    After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

    Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300-20 b and cooling problem

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300-20 b and I have a cooling problem. Since I have this laptop I ve been tracking the temperature of the CPU and found out I got the maximum temperature was about 80 c. The strange thing is that the cooler starts only when the CPU reaches this high temperature, if it isn't the cold remains off.

    Another weird thing is that once it is not blocking the cooler starts. It stops only if I restart or shut down the computer. Is this normal? Should I worry about something? Thank you very much for your answers.

    OS: Windows 7

    Have you noticed the same thing with the settings and Vista preinstalled laptop?

  • Satellite A300 - hiss of the cyclic cooling system

    I have a Satellite * a300-1mz *.
    I ask you if it's normal if I hear a * cyclical whistling * of the * cooling system * on the left side of the laptop (where is the heatsink and processor)

    It is very * noise * because it is not regular, it seems sine (it comes and goes every 2 seconds)
    It appears a * eletrical noise *... and it's very udible throughout the night serve...?
    I'm very worried...

    I just try to use a * compressed air * remove dust, but it's still the same...
    Do you have more tips?
    Thks

    > My same problem anyone?
    No, I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me. I have more than one year and use it about 10 hours a day. I put it to minimum level in the cooling method and portable works extremely silent.

    If you are so concerned about the nearest Toshiba service visit and ask for advice.
    It is not easy to give an answer here in the forum. Let the service people to hear how it sounds.

  • At a satellite A300 - 1 DG a MXM graphics module?

    does anyone know if the satellite A300 - 1 DG has an MXM graphics module?
    My laptop is broken, and I think it's the graphics card.

    If the laptop has no MXM graphics module a repair will probably be expansive.

    > is - anyone know if the satellite A300 - 1 DG has an MXM graphics module?
    No, as I know the MXM interface is not available if you can't upgrade the internal graphics card.
    Especially the GPU is soldered and part of the motherboard

  • Re: Click on Satellite A300 - noisy HARD drive - strange of sound while booting

    Hi all

    I'm new and I would try to solve some problems with my new laptop * SATELLITE A300-1MZ * (with Vista) and * its hard disk * (a MHZ250BH of Fj-simens).

    I noticed that he is very mechanical in the normal conditions of use, in fact, when I turn on my computer, I hear a clear rattling and his mechanic from the HDD at different times also when there should be no disk activity.
    * Particularlly every 3-5 seconds * I hear a very strange noise as a small but very distinguible mechanic "CLAC" (is not refer to number of cycle ordefrag or indexing workload). Ditto on my ubuntu LINUX distro.
    However the phone never crashes

    _It first start Appareed and it's very noise_.
    I would ask if this is normal... It appeared regardless of the AC or battery power source.

    I just make a SMART software which is no problem, but I'm very worried about this problem.
    By phone, I just say all this to the center of Toshiba in my country, but for them all right. The laptop works ok.

    Not to mention that I found that * HDD * becomes * hot * also if there are no programs or processes that use it.
    He begins to 29a ° - 31Â ° and it gets hot with normal use (35 ° - 36Â ° after finished booting and after 30-40 min temperature is become more warm-42a ° - 46Â °, when its average temperature is ° - 48Â ° 46a - imagine if I turn for example a virus scan or a very hot video coding software-It to become: 50a ° - 55Â °.) (I try always not to overcome this final temperature). What is the maximum?

    * I hope you can give me an explanation to the problem.*
    * I ask if this is a problem common to other A300 owners.*

    For my personal reflection, that noise, it is very distinguible for a cooler quiet fan system (infact my dual core is 43a ° with normal use)
    Infact I would like to find a system to enable more cool fan (I have just seen in the bios and utilities from Toshiba but found nothing to that effect)

    Finally, I would like to know if the * battery time * 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
    * I hope your support and I apologize for my language school *.

    Thanks y'alls.

    Hello

    I think that it s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
    I have two cell phones and a PS3 at home.
    The HARD drive in a laptop made similar clicking sound. In addition, I noticed the same sound in the PS3. Since the upgrade to 500GB drive HARD makes the similar sound as the HARD drive in my notebook.
    I think that it s nothing wrong with the HARD drive and eventually it s nothing serious.

    > Finally, I would like to know if the battery of 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    The battery lasts a shorter time when to implement applications performance on the laptop. Also if the brightness of the display is set to the highest level, the battery needed to dump a lot more quickly.
    So I think 1.30 min is OK for the laptop. Of course, you can buy a stronger battery in order to use the laptop longer with battery power.

  • Is there an internal Bluetooth module for Satellite A300?

    I bought a laptop toshiba Satellite A300, it does not contain a bluetooth module.
    There are several types of modules bluetooth USB, but I don't think they are as practical as the interns.

    If Toshiba does not include internal bluetooth module for Toshiba Satellite A300?

    I know that for the Satellite * Pro * A300, which has the same shape, but is a business model, it is bluetooth module when you buy. Their modules should be compatible with my laptop. But how can I get a?

    : D Akuma asked the model number! Then maybe you should post it instead of the xxx-xxxx ;)

    Generally, it should be possible to upgrade the laptop with internal BT module but as told by Akuma, the laptop must contain the BT antenna in fog you can find it under the keyboard (Brown wire).

    But note; These updates can be done only by the technician of the ASP, because if you remove any parts for your laptop, would cancel you the warranty.
