I've had this laptop for about a month, anyone know how to make the fans not sound like jet engines? It comes in bursts every once in a while

No but if you play games with high settings the fan sound because needed to cool down the graphic card. If you only you to play movies or use office the fan doesn't make any noise

It should be really quiet, even when on high perf. Make sure not to block bottom vents with blanket or so on. In worse case download the laptop heat meter and test it.

I'm also suffering from the noisy fan problem.... Will never purchase a Toshiba PC again. The Lenovo Thinkpad that I have from work never emits a sound from a fan. Simply a much better designed machine.

Mine doing the same thing. I tapped like you said, and it stopped the noise, thanks for the tip. Probably due to a cheap fan bearing, hopefully it will last for awhile. Toshiba charges $150.00 bucks just to open up the case if you have to get it repaired. I wonder if this is user-fixable.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

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.

I have run my computer (laptop with attached speakers and headset) on it 10-hours per day for the last year with A1 performance. It also is silent. The fan does not kick on unless a larger load is applied. The "only" issue I have had is I will get the red fault light every two or three months due to my connections to the deep cell batteries loosing good contact. I just clean the terminals, re-clip, and ready to go.

The fan should be running but it should NOT be loud. I'd return it for a new one.

If it is the same Laptop computer, my guess is that the laptop may actually be using that much wattage, which is quite a bit!! I'm surprised the alarm doesn't go off or something. Other than that, my guess is something is wrong / defective. Might want to contact the manufacturer on that one.

Buy a different laptop. Mine fried out in a few months, due to a flaw in the processor heat sink that cause the video chips to fail. Google "m5030 beeps of death", and you'll see it's a common problem.

It is pretty quiet when just doing basic tasks(surfing the web basic games). The fans will kick on when under heavy gaming and evet then it's not loud at all. Overall the MSI is one of the best laptops I have owned. Hope this helps.....

No, not all. Very quiet when the laptop is placed on it and you have 2 modes to run the fans for optimum cooling. Had a month or so now and I love it. Wish I bought 2 of them so I have a backup just in case.

This is a tiny unit and the fan has to work hard. It is always noticeable. After over a thousand hours of use, sometimes when I boot up, it's ABNORMALLY loud. The bearings are wearing out. Usually, rebooting once or twice restores the "normal" fan noise. This is why my audio system is separate; the built-in speaker can't compete.

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

It souns like your CPU is overheating. If the Fan is making weird noises, its broken and its probably not providing the proper ventilation for your CPU. Then the CPU overheats and causes your laptop to shut down within that period of time. You need to find and replace the Fan thats failing.

I've only had mine for a few weeks now, but what you're describing sounds like a fan issue. From the looks of the internal pics on here (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A0j-QpddL.jpg), you'll likely need to remove the top cover to get to the areas where the fans are, as they sit between a coil and the heat sink. Worst case, they look like standard computer fans, so just replace them all with better fans.
