Thread: Loud computer fan

  1. #1

    Default Loud computer fan

    And before you go shouting "WOO GO DELL!!!", I was in a library earlier before my exam and the computer next to me sounded like a damn 747 taking off and it kept on getting louder. I've seriously never heard a computer fan this loud before. I thought I should move across the room before it explodededed.

    Kaaaaaaa-BOOM!
    My computer was never this bad. Usually a rather large slap to the side of it was suffice, but this thing wouldn't shut up. Maybe there was a trapped animal inside!

    I'm so disappointed. I thought this would be about computer fans (fanatics) that were loud. Like hooligans, only with computers.

    I totally agree. I'll be listening to some GJ, and "this" idiot disturbs my fragile piece of mind. HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT GRACE. Then all of a sudden, I become the loud one. ><

    Well, if you so wish we can make that so, Levian.

    With a normal, fan, my lpatop fan, and my 2 external hardrives, my room gets quite noisy, hence me always wearing headphones, but my laptop is generall quiet unless it starts yelling at me for doing too much at once, then it gets loud.

    I have two intake fans, two outtake fans, a CPU heatsink fan, a GPU fan, and three other fans inside my PSU. I've gotten used to it.

    I could've done with the other type of fan whilst I was on the computer today. I was baking and stewing in my own clothes

    My fans are relatively quiet, but my DVD player sometimes sounds like a lawnmower engine.

    My computer is sometimes very quite, but occasionally the fan seems to speed up and it gets really loud. I guess it might die some day.

    I used to have a fan that came with the case I bought that made a really horrible grinding noise until I couldn't stand it anymore and replaced it (~2 years later).

    Also, the PSU that came with the case got ridiculously hot until one day it exploded on me in the middle of a LAN party.

    Moral of the story is to not use anything that comes stock with a PC case.

    My CPU fan is really loud. My exterior fans are not, and, in fact, both light up in pretty colors that make me dance.
