why my com so noisy?
-
it always has that "nurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" sound, dman noisy and irritating. I don't thihnk it's the hardisk problem cause I just got it changed. How? the noise is coming from the fan area, can I just get a new fan and be done with it?

Possibly your CPU fan or the powersupply. I have this problem too, then I changed the power box but problem persist. Some time later all is quiet...
Do check carefully before making any changes. You won't wanna spend unnecessary $. -
might be dust accumulated inside
do some cleaning and dusting -
Maybe one roach die inside and blocked the fan axle...
-
Maybe one rat die inside and blocked the fan axle...
-
Maybe one cat die inside and blocked the fan axle...
-
next, someone will say a dinosaur died inside and block the fan

If you're running any programs that require large CPU usage then the fan, having to work extra hard, will sound louder.
When you changed your hard disk did you damage anything in the CPU??
My CPU has this problem... sometimes it's super loud, like a mini vacuum cleaner. I called HP and after a series of questions, the guy asked me to download a software or something to upgrade my motherboard. I'm not sure how it works, and I haven't tried it yet. -
when you are running intensive applications most probably a fan that runs quiet or normally will increase its spinning speed. quit from the application and it will return to normal. however some fans are loud by nature (can check their noise level through the specifications in db) so you just have to do some research and info hunting before buying them.Originally posted by MooKu:If you're running any programs that require large CPU usage then the fan, having to work extra hard, will sound louder.

sometimes the simple act of checking out the screw fastenings/ grilles for any loose connection or mounting will fix the problem. it may be also due to worn bearings (depending on the type of fan build) and in this case the fan can be replaced for a good working unit. some techs can fix the bearing issue but its up to the qualified/ confident ones with the appropriate equipment, skills/ knowhow and parts to facilitate repairs.
check for worn/damaged or loose mountings..otherwise just replace the affected fan to make sure your computer gets the cooling it requires. -
Get a better exhaust fan. but can b e v ex.

Open up Task Manager and look the CPU usage below. If the percentage is quite high, and you have quite little physical RAM, it will force your HDD to work very hard and produce noise. If the percentage is low, check the fan. If you have not cleaned your fan for a long time, it will turn dusty and produce noise when running.

wtf cpu usage 2%?!?!? and noise equivalent to that of a jet plan! Time to clean the shit outta this thing!

I bet you must have one big spring cleaning to do...happy cleaningOriginally posted by N|ck:wtf cpu usage 2%?!?!? and noise equivalent to that of a jet plan! Time to clean the shit outta this thing!

where is Task Manager?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Open up Task Manager and look the CPU usage below.

press Alt+Ctrl+Del and u can see your task manager from there.
switch between the tabs and u can see ur CPU usage.
I think no matter your fan noisy or not, once in a while, u should clean your fans. Both ur casing fan and the CPU fan on top of your processor. Too much dust will make the heat harder to radiate away, which cause ur PC overheat easily.
Some motherborad has this fucntion to control the CPU fan, to make it spin slower if the temp is not too high. when the temp is high, it will increase the spinning speed of the fan.
This is better for ppl who keep PC on overnite, when u sleep, ur comp shouldnt be doing something very intensive, so the fan speed is slower, more silent. -
Good ar... how many donkey years no clean?Originally posted by N|ck:wtf cpu usage 2%?!?!? and noise equivalent to that of a jet plan! Time to clean the shit outta this thing! -
by the way, i not sure how old is your PC, so maybe u have, or u dont.
Go to the BIOS screen, check around and see if any section have something related to your CPU fan. I think that fucntion is call "Q-fan control" in my BIOS screen.
If u have this fucntion to control the fan speed, just turn it on, so that it wont spin at maxium speed all the time. It will only spin at high speed when the CPU gets too hot. -
i sometimes got this problem too. i just give it a good bang and the noise stops.
