7. Noise maybe related to<br />
interference from other<br />
electrical devices operating<br />
near the computer, or on<br />
the same AC power source.<br />
Verify if noise is gone when<br />
operating in a different<br />
location on a different AC<br />
circuit.<br />

Yes The fan(s) are generally<br />
running in a slow mode,<br />
but may accelerated when<br />
intensive processing is<br />
required (calculation, 3D<br />
gaming, or screen saver<br />

expected sound level, check<br />
for interference of fan with<br />
other mechanical element of<br />
system (foam, bracket, shield)<br />
before replacing a noisy fan.<br />
