Warp Drive Engaged?
« on: July 02, 2009, 12:55:55 PM »
My PC "Tower" seems to have several settings for the automatic cooling system. Yesterday it was whirring away like a good 'un. Today is seems to have gone into Warp Drive ~ making more bloody noise than an electric lawnmower. OK I know it has more than one fan and they cut in as necessary but I didn't think today was THAT hot.

Maybe I should shut down for an hour or two and let it cool off. rubschin:

I do think it may need replacing if it is causing a racket  whistle:

Why not just swap the fans out for newer silent ones.

Or if you are feeling adventurous you could always try & install a liquid cooling rig.
