The noise of the fan DV6936us & Design

The fan on my old DV6936us of 9 months from making a racket and vibrations that could be felt through an office. Initially tapping the fan installed zone it down but in the end nothing done and noise can be heard by a Chamber now. Finally, I downloaded maintenance manual and took the machine hand following the path of the Fan/Heatsink Assembly (what a PITA!). I didn't remove the radiator together (do not have time yesterday) but was able to remove all but one of the small screws holding on the fan cover and clear it up - not quite enough to remove the blades, but enough to eliminate rabbits of dense dust that had grown inside the fan cover. After reassembling, everything still works and the fan is relatively quiet again (without noise or vibration).

I know this is a "consumption" of quality machines, but I had other laptops in the same circles without their fans for years is polluted by dust so bad. Is this due to poor design or is it just that this machine works more hot that older fan should run more? How many times should I rinse the fan with compressed air?

@ Gary_R

You can also check your time with Everest or HWMonitor. If you want to be then time are low.

You can try compressed air as it and clean all the vents with her. Laptop must be powered off and without battery pluged in there.

This will give you a method without disassembling your model.

Full clean is recommended once a year with putting new thermal material on components.

  • Installation of SSD drive and the noise of the fan to the MacBook Pro?

    Hello

    Just replaced the stock 5400 RPM HARD drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2012 with an SSD 480 GB Sandisk and now the fan makes a loud noise. Sounds like it's revving at full speed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    You can try Macs with Intel processors: System management controller (SMC) reset and see if that fixes the problem. Unless you make a mistake in the reassembly, the two should be independent. On the other hand, it could be something in the design of the SSD. Personally, I would like to replace it with an OWC or OCZ.

    To check if the two are somehow connected try to replace the old HDD to see if the fan slows down. If it then reinstalls the SSD, making attention to do correctly and re - test. See how to install the ribbon cable short connecting the drive to the motherboard. It's easy to get the pins on the misaligned ribbon cable.

  • My Mac was purchased in November 2014. The fan makes a noise Purring but stops when I lift it and hold it vertically. I just got this back from repair to the workshop of John Lewis as he made a further strong noise.

    My Macbook (one and a half year). The fan has become noisy and I just got in return for repair from John Lewis. The problem is that I think that it is still too noisy. He runs not fast, but it is noisier than it was when we bought it first.  The fan noise also stops when I take the Mac on the end. Is this normal?  Thank you.

    There is no such thing as a MacBook 1 year and a half with a fan.

    The 12 '' MacBook isn't a fan.

    The last MacBook with a fan was the 2010 model.

    Perhaps you have a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro, if so you should post your question to one of these areas of the forum.

  • Satellite M40X - the noise of the fan

    Hi all.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X - 161 (PSM4XE).

    I had this problem with the fan of the computer running all the time and make a lot of noise because I bought a few years ago.
    Once I had the fan cleaned in the shop of service it was ok for a few days, and then he started again.

    Is there a solution for this problem? I read that Toshiba has released new versions of BIOS that solve this problem, but for laptops with ATI/nVidia video cards.

    I have an Intel card. Is there something for my model, and someone has fixed this?

    Hello

    Is not a friend of the problem.

    The cooling modules must be cleaned periodically. It s not enough clean the fans only once the dust appears more if it s necessary to regularly clean the cooling modules.

    You should also take a look in the power of the Windows operating system options.
    Most of the time it possible s control of the CPU performance and cooling performance that would reduce noise and fan activity.

  • SatelliteA200 - 23 k - strange noise coming from the fan area

    I have my model A200-23 laptop Toshiba PSAE6E for 1.5 years and I recently returned from service.
    I sent there due to a nonfunctional key.

    All right, they changed the keyboard... but since I found, I have noticed some strange noises coming from the fan area...

    The sound is not so strong, but it's pretty boring.
    I cleaned using compressed air, but the sound has not disappeared.
    It is still under warranty, but I don't think they would do something against this noise.

    The laptop works very well, it is not overheating or something, but I cannot get used to the noise.
    Should Whatd I do?

    Hello

    Hard to say what noise would that be
    But if the laptop was removed by a technician of the ASP in the past, then you should get in touch with the same technicians again and have to explain your situation!
    A screw has perhaps forgotten who knows
    I think that the technician should take a new look on this laptop

    I wouldn't recommend open and disassemble the laptop yourself because you could void the warranty

  • Satellite C660 - 1 HL: how to reduce the fan noise?

    After buying the C660 (1 HL) I'm especially glad of his duties - if it was the bad noise it emits.

    I use laptops for 12 years, but this one is really annoying with every minute repeated with penetration hum of a fan, even if the laptop is in sleep mode.

    I compared with a C650, who is often quiet and his fan, if being run, does not cause that kind of noise.
    So far I found any kind of control for the fan, no driver or powermanagement setting, that I had before for example with a Satellite M70.

    I always thought, technological development will bring improvements, but not the trouble of this kind.

    Thanks for the tips of any solution

  • Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

    My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
    Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

    I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

    Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

    The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
    This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
    This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

    It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
    The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
    The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

    Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
    As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

    Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
    Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

    All opinions are appreciated.

    Hello

    Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
    If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

    But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
    This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

    Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

  • Satellite L500 and the noise of the fan

    Last week, I bought a new laptop Satellite L 500 with Inter i3 processor, 1 GB, 4 GB of ram ATI graphics card, etc.
    Everything is OK in general, however, I think the fan is very noisy.

    I used to own a HP Pavilion laptop and could hardly notice the fan while with my new laptop, the noise of the fan is really loud.
    Does anyone know if this is normal or if it could be fixed somehow?

    I did some internet research for a solution, but I couldn't find anything, and apparently nobody complains noise from the fan on L 500 computers portable so maybe it's only me that have this problem?

    Thank you.

    For optimal use for laptop use the balanced power plan. Go to the advanced settings for this plan and energy saving of Toshiba, you can find cooling method.
    The level here. I'm sure that notebooks fan will be much quieter than before.

  • Touchscreen and the noise of the fan U920T - 11 c satellite fails sometimes

    Hello

    I just bought the U920T - 11 c a few days ago.
    I love him but he some of the questions they put me down and make me want to go back.

    The first problem is the loud fan noise that lights up. Is there anyway to turn this off?

    Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    Can I do to stop this? I'm only using the web and not running other programs.

    I also noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again.

    Looking at these forums it seems that it is a common problem with the Toshiba. I have a few days before I can return, so if they are not resolved, I think that I might go just form the Samsun ATIV book 9 Lite instead.

    Thank you

    > Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    I assumed that the noise comes from fans who need to run more quickly if the internal temperature would increase.
    What you could do is change cooling performance module in single power management.
    You could also decrease the performance of the processor. This would lead to a lower heat dissipation and the fans slow down.

    > Also, I noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again

    You could try to calibrate the digitizer
    Go to the control panel (Windows key + X-> Control Panel)-> Tablet PC setting.

    The first display tab contains options such as configure screen stylus and touchscreen.
    Here, you should be able to start the installation program and identify the touchscreen.

    The first option must contain 1 internal LCD
    At the bottom, you might find button to calibrate and reset the settings for the internal LCD.

    But it could also be a hardware malfunction. I can't say for sure why this happens, but perhaps a technician should take a look at the material.

  • Satellite U405d-s2850 - noise coming from the fan high pitch

    I bought my computer laptop 2nd Friday last for the school. I bought it at Costco after comparing with some other laptops.
    I like it so far, it is a tone high from the fan noise. First I thought it was my ear, but it wasn't. This high pitch noise is so darn high, it makes me crazy.

    This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    Or am I just darn sensitive?
    My other laptop Toshiba is very good. It's just this new laptop!
    Help!

    Should I return this laptop and get a new one or is it normal?

    Hello

    Are you sure that this noise is coming from the cooling module?
    Usually, it is really hard to say what causes these sounds of high pitch without disassembling the whole laptop and check the single parts.

    > This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    To be honest, I never noticed the sounds of high pitch on my three different notebooks.
    So I guess there might be something wrong with the single computer laptop part.

    So if you aren't really sure what causes this noise of high tone, then I recommend contacting ASP in your country for and verification of the laptop.

  • How to reduce noise from the FAN on Portege M400 with Vista?

    M400 (* _VISTA_ * with newer utilities for electric model) FAN blows very noisy constantly regardless of real need for cooling.

    Even with zero responsible jobs, less than 1% (flat curve) of the activity, the processor speed to 50% in the model of power and all power to the minimum settings, FAN does not reduce the speed. After a reboot, for a short time, the noise is bearable, we can conclude that the FAN seems to be capable of low speed.
