Just one question that should fix the noise .. Have you cleaned the blades of the fans? They will get dirty and in 6 months very dirty.

You can purchase Fans that are run less noisy and install them. But at the end of the day these machines don't run too quiet esp if you have an AMD cpu. I would call Cyberteon PC also as their PCs come with free lifetime tech support and ask them if theres anything you can do to get it to run quieter! Hope this helps.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

what charlie a. said, and the fan that does come with the CPU sounds horrible. get an aftermarket air cooler, it will help.

I do not, mine is very quiet. Give Vizo a call, they are very helpful. It could be the heat sink on your cpu is not properly seated and not transferring heat correctly. This in turn makes the fan run all the time. You will also notice a distinct hotspot on the laptop if this occurs.

My fan was noisy, but 6 months later, I think it has gotten much quieter. All I hear now are the drives.

It was audible in my system.... enough so that I stopped using it. You can lower the fan speed all the way, but it was still audible, and of course it won't cool as well. When the fan is at max speed it cooled my nvidia card around 8 to 10 degrees C. Giving your video card a good cleaning will help a lot too.

The internal fan is broken, same with mine. Opened it up and its a cheap computer fan. I replaced it for 4 dollars at a computer store and it works. If you're under warranty, send it back or take the risk and replace the fan.Good luck

The pre applied thermal paste is low quality. Your fan will scream at very high rpm because of using it. Clean it off, get some high quality thermal paste, your temps will be much lower. See my review on this product.

I have no fan noise. My old HP fan sounded like a dying hard drive. The laptop heated up to painful levels. The biggest thing I notice about this is there is no sound, no heat. I wouldn't mind some heat this winter. :) Perhaps you can return that one and get a new one. I think you have a dud.

Absolutely not. My fan makes a whooshing / blowing noise. A "white noise" if you will.

I have problems with fan noise, it is horribly out of balance and makes a snoring-like sound as it spins down (kind of like a dying hard-drive as someone mentioned). If yours is doing this as well, you more than likely have a faulty fan. Unfortunately I have found that Lenovo does not allow non-factory repair of the IdeaPad line, so no local factory certified repair people are able to RMA parts and your only options are to send it in if it is under warranty, or try to find a fan on amazon or ebay and replace it yourself.

Probably not what you are asking about however, I had a fan problem with mine but not right away. After 5 days of ownership, I carried around my N120 and the following day the fan was making a rattling noise. The fan blade was obviously hitting something (similar to a stick hitting bicycle spokes). It appears there was something lose that decided to interfere with the fan blades. It would go away once it is powered down, it would also change volume if you move the computer around. Otherwise, the fan is quiet and normal, no vibration.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

The fans are quiet but I also have a ssd that helps keep the noise to a minimum. Some of the fans that came with the case not longer work :-/
