How To Reduce Laptop Fan Noise?

1. Install relevant program for your laptop. You could tackle this problem via installing programs such as Nero Drive Speed, which effectively reduces your optical drives speed; Cool n’Quiet (for AMD) and SpeedStep (for Intel) which are power saving technology that helps reduce the heat on your laptop’s internal drives. You could also install programs that enable you to monitor and regulate your laptop’s temperature. Some of these programs include CoreDuoTemp and smcFan Control (for Apple laptops), and Speedfan.

2. Check the programs that are running. Laptop fans always work but at a slow rate, to regulate the temperature of the hardware. The time that laptop fans become too loud is usually when there are too many programs being run at the same time, and the laptop is in danger of overheating. Check your Task Manager (simply press the keys Ctrl+Alt+Del) and see the programs that are running. Close one or two of these programs and your laptop fan should turn less noisily.

Steps to Clean the Fan?

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the power source and remove the battery.
3. Begin by removing the RAM cover. This is often located near the battery and is held in place with screws. If you are unsure of where it is located on your computer, consult your owner’s manual.
4. Remove the screws and place them in a plastic bag.
5. Label the plastic bag with a marker so you will know which screws go where when it’s time to put everything back.
6. Once all the screws are removed, carefully open the cover. Lift it gently. If it does not open, check for any missed screws. Do NOT force it open.
7. Set the cover off to the side with the bag of screws.
8. Next, remove the screws to the fan.
9. Again, place them in a plastic bag and label it appropriately.
10. Find your fan and use the cotton balls and cotton swabs to very carefully wipe any dirt, dust or debris from the fan blades. A clean, soft paintbrush also works well to wipe away dust and dirt build-up.
11. Use compressed air to dislodge any fiber particles. Simply point the nozzle at the dust filled area and release the air.
12. Turn the laptop over to allow any loose debris to fall out.
13. Once all of the dirt and dust is removed, replace the screws in the fan.
14. Return the RAM cover and replace all of the removed screws.
