Satellite L670 cpu fan noise

As I sit in front of my new laptop L670, from the left end of the keyboard comes up and down a whirring frequent sound that I'm pretty sure is the CPU fan
(not HD).
What is too much? I find it disturbing. There is no sound from my old Toshiba 1 year. The room temperature is a constant 20degrees, so it is not overheating.
And does so even when sitting idle with just the screen Windows7 IE no software activity going on at all.

I'm worried that this is a faulty computer. It is old (for me) - 2 days, purchased new. Still able to resume.

Grateful for any thoughts.

Hello

I put t know how I can you use your laptop, but for normal use I recommend to use the balanced power plan. Enter the advanced power settings for the management of the balanced diet and open Toshiba power saver.
You will find options for cooling method.
Set to optimized battery.

This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.
Please test.

  • On Satellite P850 - 30Q fan noise

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite P850 - 30Q a week ago and overall, I love the machine, nice design, good performance, great speakers... BUT:

    The FAN NOISE is driving me crazy? I had a lot of laptops different in my life, but never experienced something like this. Normally I don't notice not the fan, but this laptop I noticed that the fan.

    At idle, I can hear the HARD drive - I can live with that.
    Fire use, desk and surf the internet and as the fan lights up now and then to 53% and really loud! -Its disturbing when I'm trying to study?
    When I play games the fan is 53% permanently, and after like 5-15 min, to happen to + 80%, what is really strong? -I can live with the fan when I play games, but not when I study or use it for use of the lamp in the train or the school.

    Am I the only one to go through this?

    If there is no resolution, I will return the product to the store. Its just sad when I like the rest and despite the fan Im happy on this issue.

    Hope you can help.

    > great but when I play games it rattles

    Have you noticed the usual fan noise or noise appears as something wrong with ball bearing cooling fan would be?

    It s nothing unusual as fans of cooling would turn faster everything!
    While gaming, the GPU and the CPU produce a lot of heat. This increases the temperature and therefore the propellers rotate faster. Here's how it works!

    But if the fans create an unusual sound, then that would mean that the cooling module may be defective and THIS should be verified by technicians is why would I wait not for any solution, but IF it's a hardware problem, the solution is just a replacement of parts.

  • Satellite 2450 S203 fan noise problems

    Hi guys

    I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!

    If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?

    Hello

    After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.

    I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

  • Portege R700 - high CPU fan noise

    Hello

    I own the Canadian version of the Portege R700, called Tecra R700 (PT319C-00E002).
    The CPU fan always runs between 43 percent and 51 percent (regardless of the mode of selected frequency), which makes the noisy computer - too noisy to be used comfortably, too noisy to be used at meetings of air-conditioned silent.

    The fan seems to be controlled by the BIOS, as well as applications such as SpeedFan are unnecessary. Is there a way to fix this?

    Kind regards.

    Hi dernierrecours,

    > CPU fan always running between 43 percent and 51 percent (regardless of the selected frequency mode)
    This means that the fan runs always at the same level regardless cooling method that you can choose in Windows power management?

    Well, have you tried updating the BIOS? The latest version is installed?

  • On Satellite A205-s5852 fan noise

    Hey
    I have a month old Satellite A205-s5852, the fan is sometimes very quiet and you can not hear it and at the same time, it goes to full spin, creating a noise or a couple of seconds, then it becomes quite new.
    This cycle occurs every time when the laptop is on. I was wondering if such a thing is normal.

    > fan is sometimes very quiet and you can not hear it and at the same time, it goes to full spin, creating a noise or a couple of seconds, then it becomes quite new. This cycle occurs every time when the laptop is on. I was wondering if such a thing is normal.

    Is nothing unusual because the fan starts to spin when the temperature rises to a higher level.
    The laptop with a stronger CPU, GPU, HARD drive, etc. produce more heat than other portable weaker and therefore these laptops must be cooled very often as a laptop which was equipped with a low level CPU, GPU or HARD drive

    Second heat dissipation depends on the use of the laptop. High performance software needs of more material resources and so the pieces of equipment to operate with higher performance and produce more heat.

    Finally and above all the power options settings can modify the behavior of cooling and can reduce the rotation, but generally this means that your material would reduce the performance to make sure that the heat dissipation would be less.

  • Satellite A80-138 fan noise

    Last month, I bought the Toshiba Satellite A80-138 and I am shocked at the noise of the fan made!
    He turns 2 times a minute and starts to blow at least 20 seconds.
    The only programs that are running are msn messenger and IE.
    I removed all the background processes that are not needed. I tried to change all of the possible settings, but nothing helped. One thing will not change even pointing to the bottom of the CPU at 800 Mhz.
    The fan is driving me crazy, please help!

    Hi Norbert,.

    Unfortunately, your description of your laptop fan sounds not in the least unusual. My Satellite A30 will have his fan runs most of the time, with a speed of fan significantly more when I run that all graphics type games or utilities. This includes browsing the web and email general work.

    Your laptop is a compact device with a large number of components packed into a small space therefore tends to need a lot of cooling.

    You might see that you do not have an accumulation of lint and dust in the heatsink by the suction air grids and also ensure that there is a good air space around the laptop (including below) at any time.

  • Satellite L670-112 - fan is strong enough

    Hello!

    So, I started having problems with my fan and I'm not sure but I think since I've updated the BIOS to version 1.50.

    My fan is strong enough, and my CPU temp is always about 45-50 °, what should be normal, but my fan is still about 70%, and it is a bit noisy. And it goes over 90% when I open a movie or just to watch a video on youtube and it never goes down, I put my latpop to sleep and wait a little and restart my fan is functioning normally (normally like 65-70%) again.

    So I thought trying to downgrade the BIOS, it can solve the problem, but I can't find the old version of the BIOS anywhere (the dust is certainly not the cause of the problem that my laptop is only 2 weeks old)?

    Oh and Yes, use of PC is about 5-10%, never higher than 35%, so it isn't really a reason for my fan work that fast. When I opened a 3D application, I know it's normal for a fan to run fast, but even when I close it continues to turn on 90 to 100%.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Material generally new and powerful equipment need better cooling then more old so I think that it of normal that you notice any fan activity.

    In addition, you can adjust the fan control in Windows power management. Here you can choose between different modes and set the fan a bit. Maybe it helps

    On BIOS downgrade: it is not possible. If you want an older version of the BIOS, please contact an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite A500: update BIOS V1.50 is fan noise problem reappears

  • Satellite U500-PSU9BE - fans to run all the time

    I bought a U500 - PSU9BE 10 days ago, comes with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    10 days everything was fine.
    Without changing any settings, today the fan has full throttle, as usual he is sitting on my desk with plenty of ventilation around it...
    After awhile, I opened the tool PC to see health + 90% of the activity of the fan and only 27% of the CPU temperature.
    It off for 2 hours. Is returned and turned on. He took over fan full speed immediately at startup.
    It feels like a thermal conductor who does not switch the fan to the bottom switch.

    Looked at Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel settings - all together on the optimization of the battery.
    The Eco mode is activated.

    What the hell happens on this machine? Al support will be more than welcome!

    Hi mate

    Have you checked the parameters of module cooling in power management Windows 7-> Toshiba power saver.

    Here, you can change the method of CPU cooling for maximum performance CPU, or better battery life with reduced CPU performance. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life will also cause the CPU fan turn on less frequently.

    Hello

    In my opinion, it's a very bad idea to open Notepad on your own. As you know that books are very sensitive units and if you have no experience you shouldn't do this. I guess that the guarantee is valid for two years and open Notepad, you can void your warranty.

    I'm sorry, but I put t see any means cleaning without dismantling because there is no cooling grilles of ventilation and air in the lower corner. On some laptops from Toshiba, the of cold air is visible and the cleaning procedure is much easier.
    Before doing something wrong contact partner in your country. It is also possible that there is a problem with the CPU fan and it can be exchanged.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE starts no - HDD + CPU fan is not

    Hello

    I own a Satellite Pro L40 - 17F (PSL4BE-00R005EN).
    I've been running the system on the current for a while now.
    I decided to remove the battery to avoid damage.
    Last night, I accidentally pulled the addapter at the back of the laptop. Since then; the machine won't start.

    I noticed that the HARD drive was not making the usual noises. Then I realized was not the CPU fan is spinning.
    Nothing appears on the screen, not even the start menu.

    The only things that do not seem to work are the DVD player & power light!
    I had the back of the machine off; I didn't see any obvious reason for the problem.

    I'm looking for a second opinion on what is happening with it, and if it can be fixed without having to buy a new motherboard.

    Thank you. Dan.

    Hmm. possibly, there is nothing wrong with your motherboard.
    Try this common workaround that has helped me in such cases.

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Leave the laptop for about 30 min and after this short break, put the battery in the laptop and connects to the AC adapter.

    This short procedure helped me to sort a similar g and strange question.

    I hope that you will succeed if you please post some results.

  • Satellite P200 - need CPU fan replacement

    I have a Satellite P200-16V and my problem is on the cpu fan.

    I tried to open it, but after the keyboard, hard drive, Rams, OVOCHECK and 40-50 screws and some cables, I realized I have to get out the motherboard and screen mabe and I close it again after 3-4 hours. The cpu fan has been breaking and I don't know what to do.

    I am from Greece. If I go to the toshiba in Greece, I can find a cpu fan or any system cpu radiator? Can you help me?

    Hey Buddy,

    Looks like the fan needs to be replaced and therefore, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Guys can order a replacement part and swap it out.

    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say. Here it s only a user forum so I think no one knows the exact number of part or a manual how to take apart the laptop but the ASP can do for you. :)

  • Satellite A660-12 t / A660-1FL - which we have less fan noise?

    A couple of days, I received my brand new Toshiba A660 12 t. Everything is perfect except the noise from the fan. It is particularly strong for me that I often use the laptop in the library. For simple tasks, the fan runs between 59% and 67%. I tried different things to play with the power settings for the Bios upgrade and graphics card but nothing has changed.

    Now I want to go back and change it with the Toshiba A660-1FL. Why this one? Two laptops have the same characteristics and the same price except the graphics card and the CPU. mine comes with Nvidia 330 m and I5-430. on the other side, the A660-1FL comes with the integrated Intel GMA HD and the I5 - 460.
    I thought that maybe the graphics card is the reason!
    Does anyone know if the fan noise will be reduced if I use a less dedicated graphics card? Should I change? in this case the GMA HD is a good graphics card?
    If someone uses a Toshiba A660-1FL, could you please tell me if the fan is strong?

    I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

    Hello

    NVidia GPU is a powerful graphics card, and especially these maps are designed for games.
    The GPU from Intel is also a good graphics chip, but it of not powerful as the nvidia chip.
    The nVidia chip would allow the current apps much smother but it creates more heat.

    This would affect the cooling fans which means that the fans would go more quickly and often.
    So, theoretically the laptop with Intel GPU should be a little more quiet.

  • Satellite A300 - 1-3 - question on CPU Fan

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 3, recently I had problems with my laptop in which the laptop suddenly stops working, when I checked the forum, I was advised to clean the cooling system, which I did and all is now ok; recently, I noticed that CPU fan stops momentarily, then back to work, is this correct?

    If this is not the case, what should I do, should I replace the CPU fan? Or what?

    As far as I know CPU fun is running automatically and it will run when this is necessary so that the fan behavior is nothing unusual.

    If your laptop works well and, after cleaning, you didn t notice any more close I think that everything is OK.

  • Satellite A300-1DB CPU Fan is boring, too strong

    Hi all

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1DB today in a German (580 euros) and I really like the design of laptops and performance, but there is a big problem I can not bear more (and I used it only for 2 hours).

    The CPU fan on the left side of the laptop is annoyning Yes: even if I keep the laptop idle (CPU activity is very low, just under 10% and 1 GB of ram used), the CPU fan is really really strong spinning for a minute.

    After that there is silence, a great silence... for 2 minutes. And then the whole process starts over and over again. Just cold air comes out.

    It's make me crazy, that the CPU in the idle mode fan is stronger than my other Satellite A210 - 106 Turion X 2-52 L with full activity of the CPU. I wish to have a CPU fan that keeps spinning in a low sound.

    Do you have ideas about how to control the fan?
    Otherwise I try to replace it with another laptop (I hope they allow that, unfortunately, it is not an Internet shop where you can send it back up to 14 days)

    Kind regards
    Dieter

    I managed it successfully using balanced power management and using battery optimized for cooling method option. This setting you will find, under advanced power settings > Toshiba Power Saver utility.
