Hi there,
I have been battling with the issue of an intermittently noisy CPU fan for quite some time. It will be quiet and then, seemingly out of the blue, will speed up and will, obviously, make a whole bunch of noise. This happens even when the computer is idling and I have no applications running.
I have cleaned the dust from all components within the computer numerous times, but this hasn't helped. I have also performed a clean install of Windows a few times since having this computer, but this hasn't helped either, which leads me to believe that this is purely a hardware issue and not related to any applications, etc. that are running.
My specs are as follows:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505 @ 2.83GHz
4,00GB Dual-Channel DDR2
ASUS P5QPL-AM (LGA775)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6870
298GB Western Digital
1863GB Seagate
Please see the images below for an illustration of the fast fan, high usage and heat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Amy
