Ok, quick question.

Anyway of reducing the speed the fans spin at on a laptop? I'm sat in my library, 'silent study' - it's the noisiest thing in here. It's quieter when its running on batteries (battery is flat though) and currently it's plugged in - so the fans go into overdrive!! :confused:

Any ideas? Cheers.

No fan settings in the BIOS? Or possibly use Speedfan to slow them down?

slowing them down=BOOM!

I think everyone in the room is used to the droning noise now, they probably think it's the airconditioning.

Buy a core 2 low volt laptop or something ? lol, guess its a p4 or highspec laptop?

It's not highspec lol! Quite the opposite. It's a 2.6 Celeron with half a gig of ram and some onboard graphics. It gets so hot n I'm only tryin 2 do some coursework in Word.

HD0 = 42C
Temp1 = 62C and a flame. lol

Clean the dust out of the fans is the obvious answer if you haven't already. Turn it off and blow as hard as you can into the fan/ hoover against the grill.
