The computer seems loud.
Problem:
First:
• wait for your system to fully boot up. Fans
sometimes spin at higher RPMs when the system
starts up; they will settle down to normal rotational
speed within a minute or two.
• Using all the precautions detailed in Chapter 2
"Preventing Electrostatic Discharge," carefully open
your case and use a can of compressed air to
gently blow dust off any fans. Dust buildup creates
turbulence and noise around the fans.
• Consider upgrading your CPU's heatsink/fan
combination. The stock fans that come with the
CPU are suffi cient, but several companies make
heatsink/fan combinations that lower noise as well
as improve cooling.
