MSI GF4Ti4200-TD64:Fan is too noisy!

Hi all.
Anyone else got the same?The vga fan is to loud i think,is there something i can do to lower it? ?(

edison,
Are you using Factory Cooling or do you have another heatsink and fan? I have found the AMD Retail CPU/Heatsink/Fan to be quite quiet next to my 60mm Delta 7200rpm Cpu Fan.
I do have some solitions you might like:

And if you want to go silent cooling, take a look at this:

Satellite R630-155 - Fan is too noisy and SSD upgrade

I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:
1. The fan is too noisy and never stops. In normal operation (browsing and general office work) there is a constant high pitch noise that is audible three to four meters away in an office environment - in high load you just can't stand it!!! The fan never stops... even when you are doing nothing...
2. Heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is constantly overheating and i have to place it on my desk in a way that the bottom left corner is outside of the table so it can breath fresh air from below - if not, the temperature rises and the (loud) fan is unable to keep up. When i work with the laptop while sitting on a sofa, i have to place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than an inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat passes through the book!!!!
3. Last (but not least, i just mention the biggest problems here) it's the problem with SSD installation. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80Gb SSD) from a friend, but i was unable to use it with the Toshiba - the BIOS was not detecting the disk. I tried installing all latest firmware updates for both laptop and SSD but i had no success. Then i gave the disk back and i bought a brand new Zalman 128Gb SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but i had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local Toshiba support and after a lot of conversation the only answer i got is that the laptop is not compatible with those SSD's and this is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if i need an SSD upgrade i can only go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128Gb. I contacted the European support center and i got the exact same reply. I searched on the Internet and i found someone else with the exact same problem with a Corsair 128Gb SSD - he found that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty reboots. I tried that and it was true - after a lot of reboots the laptop detected the Zalman disk and i was able to install Windows 7 successfully, but the process is unacceptable. Also the disk is benchmarked by official sites at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128Gb (and slightly better), but when i ran a benchmark in the Toshiba, the results I got were below half of the advertised speed. Same benchmark in another machine for the same disk, resulted in the advertised speeds.
Shame for Toshiba... nice design and portability but everything else is a big flaw. Their support in non existent and they do not value their customers. I feel they stole my money and I'll never buy a Toshiba laptop again.
Sorry for the big message, but I need I have to warn potential customers. Can someone help me with any of the above problems? Do you have the same problems too?
To be continued...

Hi buddy,
Regarding the fan and heat issue: Did you make BIOS update? Friend of me has Satellite R630 too and he told me that fan activity with new BIOS version 2.10 is reduced. Furthermore the notebook is cooler than before so I would recommend installing this update. You can download the BIOS update here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
But before you start the BIOS update you should consider the following tips:
-Run update as Administrator only
-Unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update file
-Close all running programs and also the antivirus and firewall
-Make sure that battery is fully charged
Regarding the SSDs its always a little bit complicated installing 3rd party products and nobody can guarantee that such parts would work. You are always on safely side with original Toshiba spare parts.
Everything what you can do is installing the newest firmware for SSD and hope that it works but who knows maybe the BIOS update will also help you in this case ;)

My fan is too noisy. . any recommendations?

My evercool cud715 70mm cpu fan is way too loud.
I don't believe any advertised db numbers.
Can anybody recommend a quieter fan or sink/fan set?
if i replace the sink, i am thinking i should take the cpu shim out.
Would a rheostat or a l-m-h switch make sense to install?
My temps are high (from msi PCalert) ~55 .C
This box seems to run good to me, v. stable, but it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.........

When it comes to the shim, i fell for the "improved thermal blah blah" claims. I see now, the shim's only use is for evening out installation force, but i don't give that much merit either.
It seems as though most quiet fans achieve low noise via speed control.
thanks for letting me know your pick.

Fan is too noisy, have an idea of putting the case far away, dont no i

hello,
i'm really happy with my board and my cpu, the only thing that makes me think of going back to intel is the noise! i'm thinking of putting my tower far away but dont want to stand everytime i need to access the cdrom or floppy.
anyone still remembers or who owned the ibm aptiva s-series? yes, the one with the media console? problem is, i dont know what kind of interface it uses, to where the cable connects to. so, if there's anybody, who owned this system previously, do you know what kind of connection is that? is that scsi?
you can still buy these consoles on ebay
thanks,
edison

My laptop presario cq42 too noisy sound come out like fan sound non stop

Can you help how to solve this problem. Normally my laptop is too noisy for fan sound

Please try getting the heatsink clean if the noise has started after using the product for sometime and possiblity of dust blockiing the vent area. here is the link.

The cooling fan is strangely noisy

Hi, I'm using dv6-6023tx laptop for 1 year. Its cooling fan was ok since when i purchased it, but it suddenly became so noisy with annoying spinning sounds from the last few days. I don't know why it happened. I didn't touch or change any hardware and software conditions, I was just using it as normal. I guess it happened because of dust or something like that but I'm not sure.
What should I do?

first step is to clean it with a can of compressed air by blowing it out in reverse of flow direction. holding fan blade still with a metal pin or similar through grill vents is good idea.
After cleaning check fan is running & air flow seems good.
If fan noise still noisy is it due to worn bearing (more mechanical noise) or because fan running faster & longer due to notebook actually being hotter.
It is posible you have processes stressing the computer & it is actually running hot & the fan is just working hard.
Review all processes & CPU use & also monitor actual temps with software like HWinfo

My T43 fan is very noisy

My T43 fan is very noisy now! Can I replace it with a new one?

Welcome to the forum!
What's the 7-character model number of your T43, it should be either 26??-??? or 187?-???
Have you tried running ThinkPad Fan Control? I'm using version 0.33 on my T43s, you can download it from here:

Fan got really noisy

My G4 has been always quite noisy since I got it like 5 years ago.A month ago I installed a second internal optical driver and also a USB 2.0 controller. The optical driver made a huge noise and shook the computer, so I took it out. The USB controller is working fine. The thing is, just after I did this installation, the computer´s fan got REALLY noisy. Much more than used to be. Since I work with audio, it does affect my work. I did try taking the USB controller out, but still noisy. When I turn on the computer, the fan is pretty quite, but after 1 or 2 minutes it starts to get noisier and noisier even though I am not using any software.
What could it cause that fan noise change?
Should I try replace the fan? witch model shoul I look for?
Thanks!
Damião.
PS:Sorry for English.

Hello Damião!
Could the dust make fan noisier
It can, but not always. If the fan has a thick but even coating of dirt, the extra weight can make the fan turn more slowly, and the noise is less than normal. On the other hand, an uneven coat of dirt could increase noise if it is enough to upset the balance of the fan.
If the fan is dirty, it is likely that other parts of the air passage system are also dirty. Reduced airflow means less effective cooling and the fans may run faster to overcome it.
Areas to check for blockage:
1) There is an air intake behind the four decorative ports on the lower front panel. If you place your hand palm-side up on the lower clear "handle" and curl your fingers, they will be in the intake. There is a perforated metal screen--make sure it is free of "dust bunnies."
2) there are two small but noisy fans in the front edge of the power supply. Clean them with a brush if needed but do not attempt to open the power supply unless you are a very experienced electronics tech.
3) The main fan--you've seen that this on is dirty. Check its grills for build-up also.
4) the back panel, especially internally where air is directed at it.
Computer position can also affect cooling. I attempt to leave at lease six inches (15cm) between the back of the case and any wall or upright desk unit to insure the exhaust air is properly dispersed. I also watch the clutter on my desk to keep any of it from getting behind the lower front handle where the primary air intake is located.
The USB card should not affect temperature and therefore fan noise unless the card required you to install software. In that case, the software running in teh background may be increasing the load on the processors. Most USB cards to not require software to work under Mac OSX.
PS: Sorry for English.
Your English is many times better than my Portuguese! You are doing very well.

I bought my macbook just this march and now my fan is very noisy, the rpm meter goes to 6000 just when i started it

What process is hogging CPU?
Utilities > Activity Monitor.
Turn off Automatic Graphics Swtiching in System Preferences > Energy Saver, then change GPU to Better Performance.
The discreet graphics chipset is on the same diode as the CPU, so = heat.

Fan Speed will not adjust/Too Noisy

I just installed my new MSI R6670 card. This card was reviewed as being very quiet but I immediately thought just the opposite. It sounds like the fans are running at 100% all the time overwhelming the sound of all other fans in my system.
The CD came with AMD's 8.84 driver so instead I went ahead and downloaded the latest 11.6 and included catalyst control center. CCC acted like it was adjusting the fan speed but there was no change in sound - like the fans were still running at full speed even though it said they were not. So I uninstalled CCC but left the 11.6 driver in place and installed MSI's Afterburner software. In the left hand pane it claimed the speed was set to Auto and currently at 44%. But in the hardware monitor section it lists the speed as 0% with occasional blips but mostly staying at zero. Turning off auto control and dragging the fan speed slider all the way to the slow side and clicking "apply" seems to have no impact on the sound and the hardware monitor keeps reading zero. Its showing the temperature at a steady 39 which doesn't seem excessive. Its looking to me like the software may not be able to monitor the fan speed so its just staying at 100% all the time.
Please help! I bought this card because the Radeon 6670 was supposed to be the most powerful card that would run without its own PCIe power cable and also because the reviews said it was very quiet. Right now it is anything but quiet!

I just pulled the card and disconnected the wire. They are definitely 4 wire fans. FYI Afterburner is crap as far as telling you what the fan speed is. When I put the card back in I left the wire disconnected and briefly started the system with the card running fanless. Afterburner still showed the fan speed as whatever the it was SUPPOSED to be running and showed the speed increasing with temperature, even though the actual fan speed was zero. So their software isn't even actually monitoring the speed. It is just telling you what the fan speed should be not what it is. Going through the threads on this forum, I'm seeing several others with different models of MSI cards having this same problem.

W520 Fan too noisy

Hi,
I have just done a clean install of Windows on my thinkpad. I had put most of the drivers on by hand, but I missed a few things like the lock key and the power manager app (I did install the battery driver, just not the app) so I downloaded system updater and got all the updates I needed (I left out the audio, webcam and network drivers because Windows has found them and they work fine)
The fan has now got stuck on about 80% and is unreasonably noisy. I have tried switching from "Maximum Performance" to "optimal for power source" but it still seems to be running at near full whack. I dont mind when I am doing something intense, but this is just while I am browsing the web or idle on the desktop. How do I slow it down?
I've seen there are a few applications you can get to over-ride the fan speed but is there a Lenovo solution? The whole point of the clean install was to get rid of all the rubbish I had accumulated!

Welcome to the forum!
My favorite one is TPFanControl, it was done specifically for Thinkpads and works fine in most of mine.
Checking the fan is clean would be also a good idea, you need to remove the keyboard, block the fan with your finger and use compressed air to clean all dust bunnies.
Check the Lenovo Hardware Maintenance Manual for the steps to remove the keyboard: Click me! (Chapter 1060)
If none of the above does help it will be about time to replacing the thermal compounds... But let's check that later

MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G: Fan issue, too

I build a new system that also includes a brand new MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G that I received today and to my considerable regret the graphics card is exhibiting fan issues similar to the ones some of you described with 970 cards.
My MSI 980 is spinning one fan at constantly high speed from the moment the system gets turned on. It's the fan on the inner half of the card, not the one on the slot side. My card came with the notorious sticker, which I removed with utmost care. The fan on the sticker/slot side is working perfectly fine, spinning up after launch, then spinning down for as long as the card's temperature is below 60°C, then spinning up again when it's above. Regulation works flawlessly for THIS fan - it can also be controlled manually by AfterBurner, which displays the speed of this fan correctly.
On the other hand, the inner fan does not regulate at all. It goes full throttle from the moment the system starts and never slows down again.
_Its impossible to stop or change the speed of this second fan through AfterBurner or NVidia Inspector._
Trying to make the other fan spin by poking it by hand, as some have described for their 970 cards doesn't change anything, either, since the other fan does run if the temperature neccessitates it.
So it doesn't look like the behaviour of the second fan is caused by something being wrong with the hardware of the first fan.
Anyway - at my wits' end, for now.
My setup:
MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G (Bios 84.04.1f.00.f6)
NVidia Drivers 344.60
Monitor connected to DVI Port (through VGA adapter, for now)
ASUS Z97-A (Bios v2012)
Core i7-4790K
Samsung SSD 850 Pro
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

I tried with the MSI Fan Control tool (v2.0.0.1) that was on the included driver CD: It also has no influence over the second fan, only over the first (properly working) one.
I also checked my cabling and nothing seems bend or cricked. No heat-sink touching circuit boards. Guess I'll pull the plug on this one and move back to my 580 for the duration of the RMA process... I just hope the next one turns out alright.
