GE70 0ND Fan started vibrating so loud

Just what tittle says, the fan just works fine but the structure that holds it to the motherboard it's loose and can't find the combination of screws to make it fit tight, so it's not vibrating, but not on tension so the fan can spin free. I made some research and one single new fan costs (including shippment) more than a hundred. Anybody had this problem and fixed it in another way? Tighten the screws as hard as i can does not solve the problem, which is strange.

You can pull out the fan module but keep fan cable still connected and then power on the laptop. (If warranty was void already)
Check if it's still loud when simply rotating.
Sometimes the fan blades will slightly rub the metal case of the fan after long period of use because the dusts built up and broke the balance of the fan.
If the problem is not from fan side, check if the fan was correctly fixed onto the whole structure.
The size of the screws fixing the fan module is the same with those fixing the D-side cover.
You can pick some screws from the D-side cover to fix the fan first.
But I would suggest you send the laptop to repair center for complete inspection and repair.:cool:

Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos

Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.

Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on.

Could be over-heating. Try cleaning out the air vents.

Sattelite A200-1N9 fan starts running faster and become loud

Hi,
So i have strange problem. When my fan starts running faster he bocome so loud i can't work.
What is more strange when he bocome loud i can't start any new programs and programs already running freezes.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Sincerely
Per Aspera

Hi
This happens because an process running in the background stresses the CPU up to 100% and this creates more heat dissipation and the fan kick on and runs faster to cool down the CPU. Additionally the CPU is locked and therefore the system freezes for some time.
You have to check what process or tool stresses the CPU.
You can start task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and check the tab Processes.
Here you can see in the CPU column what process use most of CPU performance.

2009 iMac fan just started to run loud. Hardware check okay

Dv7t-6100 Fan surging / vibration Should I Replace? Fan Only? or + Heatsink?

Since yesterday, dv7-6100 fan is surging and / or also vibrating somewhat loudly (like bearing noise or out of balance noise). I blew out dust as much as I could with can of air. It did not change significantly. The surging sound is like when a printer head prints, then zips to another location and prints again, an intermittant "zzzt.....zzzt....zzzt" where the zzzt represents the higher spin noise or vibration. maybe 1/2 second interval.
I have since downgraded the power plan and fan is much quieter, because it's running slower, but still has a slight vibration noise. No surging. There was definitely strong and varying vibration noise before I downgraded power plan.
For the past year, on startup, computer will on occasion have black screen and message something to the effect of "fan not working, will shut down in 10 (15?) seconds..."
I always let it shut down, then start it again and it always starts the second time. I've never noticed the fan not working other than when it just starts with that message, which seems to be once a month or so, to maybe a couple of times a week, not every time.
The surging makes me wonder if I should try to download the driver? Or is the vibration proof enough that the fan needs service (either dust removal, or fan replace).
Is it likely that only dust removal is necessary or should I just order a fan?
Some fans come with heat sink, some without. Which should I order? I don't mind turning a few screws to remove the heat sink before swapping out if replacement of heat sink is not necessary. I just don't understand why some come with heat sink and some without.

Msi Ge70 onc fan always running.

I bought the MSI GE70 ONC gaming laptop on laptopsdirect.co.uk
Laptop came in original package. I was happy.. until I started it.
From first use laptop was very noisy. Fan is working with high speed even when during typing emails or preforming simple tasks.
The fan is always running on 100% efficiency even when I start up the laptop. It doesn't want to stop unless I wait for about 40 mins without preforming any task on the computer.
This is really annoying. I never had an issue like that before.
I am dissapointed with this laptop. I understand that if I run high demanding software the fan will work loudly, but not during web surfing.
Otherwise the laptop is great. I mainly bought this laptop for video edition and I expected better quality for 977 euros I paid for this laptop.
I also have a video on how the fan is working, here is the link below.
tinypic(dot com)/r/2mh7sy1/6
Should the fan be working like this?
If this isnt normal what should I do?
I also rang msi and a woman said to email msi about this but I send msi 2 emails and they didnt respond ;(

When I turn on the laptop the fan goes to 100% and after about 30 mins the laptop's fanstop.
When I launch not heavy applications like internet explorer or wordpad the fan turns on for 20 seconds and stops.
I even had a case when I right clicked on the desktop the fan started working.
No affence but i could just pay 50€ and buy another laptop.
About 1 month ago I had problems with windows 8 and had to reinstall windows twice. ;(

I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

Fan starts and stops periodically on new Eee

Hi,
unfortunately, there's an annoying flaw with my newly obtained Eee: It's all in all a very nice and useful netbook, and I love the fact that it's both light and quiet, it's barely hearable at all. If the fan starts though, I need earlaps.
The overall temperature is very high also, but I think this is normal with those new netbooks. Usually the temperature is about 60°C. I noticed that the temperature gets higher very easily, and after some time, the fan starts working and it's annoyingly loud. After some time, even with small applications running the fan would start, makes some noise, and quits afterwards until some minutes later it will start again and again and so on ...
Usually, I install everything that is mentioned in the Wiki that has something to do with power control, e.g. cpufreq, pm-utils, acpid but I still suffer from nuisance. I tried both ondemand and conservative governor, though the fan doesn't mind. I wouldn't mind working with low CPU speed if just the fan wouldn't start even when I just chat or browse the web.
If this procedure starts at one time, it's difficult that the fan would rest even if the temperature is low again. Once I want to play a video on YouTube or something similiar, the fan will overtune the video. I can't even imagine what I do that needs so much resources. If I observe the temperature in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature, the temperature jumps some degrees higher just when I click some widgets (or write this text) ...
Has anyone an idea what I could do to get a little bit of silence? I can't imagine that this behaviour is normal, and I would appreciate any hints.
Sorry you probably notice that I'm a little bit annoyed of the fan.
In the end, if nothing helps I'm thinking about buying a cooling pad for notebooks, if I get the chance ...

I found the granularity of BIOS-level fan control to be quite lacking too.
The kernel (eeepc-laptop module) provides fan control in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0 by default. There are several interfaces. Usage examples:
pwm1_enable shows if software-side fan control is enabled (1) or if the BIOS is handling the fan (0). Changing fan speed won't work if this is 0. (i.e. cat /sys/class/hwmon0/pwm1_enable reports 0 -> disabled; you could enable it with echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon0/pwm1_enable).
pwm1 allows to change fan speed. The values range from 0 (fan off) to 255 (full speed, 12V).
fan1_input shows the current RPM if a fan is connected. You can only read from this interface. Its useful to check all of these in the each of the hwmon folders to find out if there is actually a fan connected to the fan controller (they often have more ports than mainboard manufacturers use).
There are various applications to utilize these in order to tweak fan control to your liking, a lightweight one is the fancontrol daemon. If you don't mind 'some' gnome dependencies, eee-control has an awesome fan control algorithm too (options -> smart fan control).
laptop-mode and acpi-eeepc-generic don't feature fan control.
The cpufreq utility has only a marginal impact, as it changes the FSB/CPU multiplier and the Atom has a measly TDP of 2,5W compared to the chipset's 6W - the fan is primarily need to cool the northbridge. Side note: There is an interface to control FSB clock rate: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv. 2 is 100MHz, 1 is 133MHz, 0 is 140MHz. eee-control manage this too, it's the "Performance" setting. There also is a laptop-mode add-in to control it dependant on AC status.

Custom bios MSI GE70 0nd

Hello.
I use Win7. I have GE70-0ND and BIOS: e1756ims.10f
I need the bios which has two functions:
1. Enable encrypt the HDD. Almost all laptops have this function but GE70-0ND has not.
2. Control fan speed for CPU and GPU.
Svet: do you have such a bios ?

1 nope
2 nope, this don't depend of BIOS. But if you want to change the FAN behavior to a different way can be done.

GE70-0ND Screen flashing black and gray

Hey,
I bought a MSI GE70-0ND laptop almost 1 year ago. I have not had any problems with it until now.
I run Windows 8 on it.
Today when I logged in on my laptop the screen just immediately went black. Now it is flashing black and gray. When I move the mouse you can see the cursor moving on the screen. The special buttons such as fan boost works.
I tried connecting my laptop to another screen with a HDMI cable. The other screen showed the same flashing screen..
My laptop forced me to upgrade and install something yesterday. I think it was a windows update but I to be honest, don't know. I suspect that that update is causing this..
Any help will be appreciated. If you want additional information that I failed to provide above, let me know!
Thanks,
msikiuru

What happens if you do a CTRL+ALT+DELETE? Can you see the screen just fine?
Taking a video and posting it to youtube might also be very helpful, as this is the first time I've ever heard of this issue.
Hi, thanks for answering.
The problem fixed itself after a while. I have no idea about why it did.
CTRL+ALT+DEL did absolutely nothing.

Fan keeps on working loud

Hi there,
I have a mac mid. 2006 and it keeps on working on 6000 rpm and gets slower when I really does nothing. Even browsing or email checking( simple tasks) makes it loud. I've already checked there is no process, which is eating CPU. I tried resetting PRAM and SMC and that doesn't help and there is also no printer installed( which means no task in queue) .
any idea?
PS: as written here, OS is Snow Leopard

I checked with the activity monitor for run-aways process but none
Well, first of all you should try to check followings :
1-Look if there is any pending task in your printer queue, if it's the case delete the task.
2-( if your browsing a website which runs flash player ( like youtube) the flash is the problem)
3- if there is no app eating the CPU/GPU try resetting PRAM and SCM

Fans running at a loud high speed and can't be stopped?

On several occasions I have left my Mac in sleep mode and returned a few hours later to find it roaring away loudly with the fans are just whizzing away for no reason. I mean very loud. There seems to be no way to stop this or bring it out of this activity other than to disconnect the computer. It will not awaken or restart. What is this and why is it doing it? Is the system backing itself up or something? Under normal usage, the fans never run like this, so it is obvious it is working like a demon on something, but it is nothing I told it to do. Help!

Same here. First my computer would lock up and then slowly the fans started running faster and faster until they sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
Apple had me send it to CompUSA and they couldn't get an error message from any hardware tests. They called Apple and then they replaced both of my processors. I got it back and it happened again after booting the computer up and waiting for a couple of minutes.
I ran the Apple Hardware Test and I got an error message 3 times on the video RAM. So I brought it back to CompUSA and they said it must be the video card.
They replace my video card and then they had the same problem still. They ran a looped hardware test and around the 50th loop they got a kernel pannick when it was testing the HD. They got the same error to repeat twice so they replaced my HD (ouch). They loaded OS 10.4 on it and ran hardware tests and couldn't get an error. So I picked it up last night, turned it on, entered all my info in again and did the software update. After the update I had to restart and a minute later after booting up it locked up again and fans started kicking into gear. I didn't even have any other software loaded.
I called them because now it has been 1 month for my computer being down and they are sending me RAM to see if that fixes the issue. Not sure if it will.
I have since rebooted my machine and it hasn't locked up on me yet today. Of course it is random anyway. I am waiting on the RAM to come in this week, but this problem appears to be a mystery.
BTW... During the first episode of thiss when talking to Apple, they had me start up from the OS 10.4 DVD to do disk utility on it and the fans went crazy and they computer wouldn't load. Then they had to have me reboot holding apple+option and i was then able to choose the DVD to boot from and it was able to boot from the DVD... just wanted to added some more wierdness to this.
