Re: Fan noise

 

That clarifies things a lot. So most likely I've got a defective unit. Still, it might affect only models with an ATI graphics card. Could anyone with a Timeline with ATI graphics comment? Do you experience a noisy fan?

That is certainly not normal, unless you have very very good ears.

I have a 3810t (intel graphics) and I can't hear the fan AT ALL most of the
time, even when I put my ear to the palm rest. I don't think it's even
spinning most of the time.

I can kind of hear the fan if I run CPU-intensive programs (for more than a
few seconds).

Hi list,

I got a new 3810tg and at least to me the fan seems to be too noisy.
It's running all the time and the best I've managed so far is that the
base level is quite acceptable but every three seconds or so the fan
spins faster for a very short time (much shorter than one second). I
find this very irritating. This was with the ati gpu. With the intel
graphics card the fan spins faster all the time and the noise level is
comparable to this six year old A31 Thinkpad sitting on my desk. To be
honest, this is not what I expected when I bought an "ultra low voltage"
notebook, so my question is whether this fan noise is normal or if I got
a defective unit. Also, are there differences between the 3810t and the
3810tg regarding the fan noise?

Thanks,
Burkhard
