Do you need a fan in order to get to sleep?

That's quite normal. I do too.\nSome people need complete quiet, some need the hum of a motor to sleep.

HI, lovely system the XPS400. It doesn't need an extra fan, it comes with two. And even if u find some place to put one, put one at the rear to pull out hot air i.e. an exhaust bcoz that'll automatically work for the cool air to be sucked in.\nHope that helps for more u can check out\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/xps400/sm/index.htm

Not sure I understand your question, but I think you could just parrelel it with your existing fan, instead of taking it off of the circuit board.  That is what I did when I added a duct booster fan to a long heat run in my house.  Those just have a fractional horsepower induction motor on them, so they dont take much electricity.

I think everyone is right about the fan.\nI have a fan that is making noises.\nIt doesn't do it all the time.\nI leave my pc on all the time (another debate)\nbut sometimes it growls at me and sometimes it is quiet.\nIt think eventually I will have to replace it because I don't know if you can oil it.\n\nThe first link I give you below shows how to replace your computer fan yourself very cheap.\nThen I add some links to help see what to buy later.\nGood Luck\nSteffy

I can only tell you about leaving your computer on 24/7. \n\nLeaving it on all depends on how long you leave it on, and what kind of computer you have. If your fan isnt very good, your computer might overheat and cause a malfuction. Id get some kind of program that can see how fast and how hot your computer is getting.

Just a guess, but you might consider changing the air filter in your house often and dusting the fan blades off. Sounds like allergies and you may be breathing through your mouth when you sleep which allows more dust in your lungs.

Exhaust fans are used to remove heat and/or moisture from an area. Heat should be exhausted only when cooler air can be drawn in. Tilted baldes help in doing both suction of outer air and removal of hot air.

On LapTops definitely turn it off, it will wear down the battery. On desktops I will turn it off, if your not gonna use it within six hours. The reason for this is I find I have to replace more fans on computer used 24 hours than on the ones that are shut down everynight. If your cpu fan burns out while no one is using the computer, your cpu can burnout as well, costing a bit.

The fan should turn off automatically when it is not needed to cool the processor. Unless you are talking about the fan for the casing. You could look at a computer electronics store and see if they have an energy saver type of fan.

My husband is the same way.....He can't sleep with out one!\n\nAnd now I am that way,I can't sleep with silence anymore and if,I do it is very hard.\n\nI think if, you like sleeping with it on...why give it up? I love the sound of it! Plus,it drowns out all the dogs barking at stupid things and kids screaming and yelling while playing.\n\nI like the sound of it while on the other hand my husband likes to feel cool all night long in the summer and we even have it on in the winter(it ain't colder though) silly huh lol He sleeps with it right next to his side of the bed.\n\nWe both realized it has ran almost 3 years straight besides when we turn it off to clean it or vacuum and unplug and move it.\n\nIf, you don't want to give it up,then don't or like someone else on here said record it or listen to the radio.

The air in your computer should circulate, if you have two fans, you should make one an air intake and the other an outtake.\n\nIf you only got one fan, make it take out the warm air in the computer

That might blow dust into your CPU.\n\nI do not think the performance of your computer is because of the fan. It is probably a coincidence.\n\nTry going into your task bar and see what else is running that might be slowing you down.

I am unsure if it sleeps.\nHowever, its lifespan is not long so it probably does not need sleep and yawn.
