Reduce excess fan noise by cleaning out dust
Ha! I sent this hint to Rob over a year ago but it was rejected as 'we don't do hardware hints'. Glad it's in here now. One of the most truly valuable hints here.
Reduce excess fan noise by cleaning out dust
We all know this, but how many actually clean their machines. I had to replace a faulty CD-ROM drive in an 18 month old eMac. I found enough dust and cat hair to choke my horse as well as the vacuum. The little fan on the drive was plugged with dust. It was no wonder it failed. I live in a very rural area. My house is new and fairly airtight with air conditioning.
Reduce excess fan noise by cleaning out dust
I had HORRIBLE fan noise with 10.4.4 with my 15 TiBook. The upgrade to 10.4.5 made it all better. This same thing happened before in 10.3.? The take home point is that (no, i've never cleaned the fans) some of the OS updates mess with how the fan is throttled, occasionally causing the fan to go full out for NO reason. |
