Buy better fans. Good brands are Papst and Panaflo.  Also the bigger the fan i.e. 120mm and the lower rpm they spin at , the quieter they are.  Stay away from small fans like 60mm

DO NOT REMOVE IT!!! get a can of air unplug the pc get a can of air and blow it out if its still loud replace it. be extremely carefull removing it sometimes the processor is stuck to the heatsink and pepole pull them out and bend or break the pins wich equals a dead pc with an expencive fix

Turning the fan off is not a good idea. If your computer does not get a good ventelation,then you can really hurt performance or even damage some parts.\nHere iswhat you need to do. Open the case and make sure there is no dust. Also get some compressed air and clean the fan and internal parts. If thats how loud the fan was initially there is little you can do.  If not, something could be broken. Also makesure the computer is not agains any walls so there is a good place for the hot air to go. Also make sure the fan is securily attached and is not shaking.\n\nI

Try this site:\nwww.almico.com/speedfan.php\nIt offers a software that can monitor and change your CPU's fan speed, to hopefully reduce noise. I don't know how well it works. It does say, "This program is aimed to the power user" (as in, it's not for basic computer users, since they might accidentally blow the thing up?), but from your questions, it seems like you are pretty knowledgeable. You might try it.

Check your Cmos setup, if there is no setting for the fan, then i would not worry about it, it better to be cool than hot....It must be a Dell, just joking.....they have the most complaints....

in case of heating up you should hear the fan spinning much faster, long before the laptop is shutting down - do you? it's pretty noisy. If you don't hear that, you should check the fan. Maybe you have a hardware test program delivered with your PC (e.g. Dell laptops have such a test program).\n\nFurther on, check the airflow channel from intake to exhaust in the laptop and remove all the dust in it, this will improve the cooling behaviour remarkable.

Could be the cooling fan or the hard drive. Check both.

try to upgrade your cooling fan for a bigger one...and adding another system fan to your cpu...that might help

6 fans are all well and good but if there not actually all blowing the same way then its not going to help you much. you need a flow in and out of the tower. Also i would check to make sure your processor fan is correctly secure with plenty of paste. 1 processor fan should keep ur system cool enuff to run. Although 2 extra is better to actually circulate air around the case

Put something under each corner so the computer is an inch or two above the table. Place a fan so it blows air under your laptop. This is basically what a laptop cooling pad does. It is a box with a fan that cools the bottom of the laptop.

Its not the fan on your hard drive (it doesnt actually have one!).  It is possibly a dirty fan, and you may want to open the case up and clean the fans.  Just use a paintbrush (the big house painting kind) and you can easily wipe of all o the dust on the fans and heatsinks in the computer.  If it sounds like a loud BUZZing noise, then it is likely the bearings on the fan went out and it will need to be replaced.  If it has always been this loud, consider buying a more expensive "quiet" fan to replace it.

A noisy fan generally signals that the fan is getting near a failure point.  \n\nCleaning it can help, but as laptops are generally difficult/expensive to repair after a failure, I recommend taking it to a good computer shop.  A few dollars to fix a fan now is a lot better than a few more dollars to replace a CPU or the entire laptop.\n\nGood luck ...

It's not dust, although that is a contributing factor.\n\nAll computers, desktops and laptops, hum to a certain degree. The higher performance it is, the more quiet it is (often). The humming you hear is your computer working, and as it works it gets hot, which makes a little fan go off to prevent fires in your computer. If your laptop has been on a while then it will almost certainly hum, also if you're running high-memory processes like games or big files. That goes double if your laptop is older or entry-level.\n\nWhat you can do is: \n- buy a new laptop. (don't reccommend, although you can get one for $600 from Dell)\n- put the laptop on a soft, sound-absorbing surface (think placemats, blankets, mousepads, anything like that, the thicker the better)]\n- upgrade RAM to make things easier on your laptop. You can buy 512MB of RAM for about $49, make sure you know the right kind to buy and the right brands (I reccomend Kingston Technologies).\n\nhope i helped.

It's probably either the case fan or the power supply fan. I have hit the case a few times and it will stop. Dont beat on your case though ha ha. Open up the case, and see if you can track it down.

There are very few moving parts in a computer.\n1 Hardrive\n2 Fans\nOpen the case and listen.\nIf it is the hard drive, not much you can do.. Just take it as a hint to backup.\nIf it is the fan, try a can of compressed air to blow out the dust.\nIf that doesn't work, probably a bearing in the fan.  Replace the fan.
