Most usual reason for a noisy fan is a duff bearing causing it to rotate slightly off axis, if its a clunking noise this is probably what has happened and they can be replaced for a few quid but it requires dismantling the laptop.

what makes me laugh is when these firms say there fans our silent,silent for about a month then they sound as noisy as any other fan.


Yeah, silent until they get an ounce of dust on them that screws up the finely tuned balance Smile

had thermaltake power supply that was shite after 3 weeks but ocx one seems to be kinda silent 3months on so hopefully lol

Sounds quite like the bearing gone then, it starts off normal thil the temperature rises then as the fan speeds up the increase in speed causes it to resonate.
