Just got the UX21A 11" with the i7 processor. Anyone else notice their fan suddenly gushes loudly every few minutes?? Will it settle after a few days

Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the UX21A. I would like to purchase one, but have only purchased a UX21E (the first generation) so far. I haven't noticed any oddity with the fan on that version.

Hi, With the stock 2 fans that the case comes with it's very quiet, You have to also count on how much noise your video addin card makes as well. If your only going to use the cpu built in video then there's really very little noticeable sound at all. My own setup is the ( 1 ) 140 front fan I have ( 2 ) instead of the stock ( 1 ) 120 mm fan on the one side and I also installed ( 2 ) 80 mm fans in the rear right blowing right across the motherboard cpu. I also am running a Duel fan Radeon 7870 video card. With my setup I hear a low humm with the case only about 1 foot away from my right ear.

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

Same here...fan is all jacked up and incredibly noisy. Never experienced this with 3 previous Toshiba laptops, so I'm inclined to think it's an issue with this model in particular. Does anyone know the best way to remedy?

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Yes mine does the same thing. My guess is that my fan wore out because the first few days it was loud and annoying, but eventually stopped. Only then did my computer begin to overheat and shut off when I play certain video games for as little time as 45 minutes.

Hi Lawrence, fitted this card 4 days ago and no its not true, in my rig its not at all loud.

Chances are it pushes less air than you're default fan, at least it did for me . I was debating between a new card or new fan, i should have chosen a new card because I've had to buy one anyways

what charlie a. said, and the fan that does come with the CPU sounds horrible. get an aftermarket air cooler, it will help.

I play BF4 on Ultra, WOW on Ultra, Etc.. No need to turn the turbo fan on. It's pretty noisy. Computer Auto adjusts fan speed based on the heat. Computer stays cool, great venting. Owned for over a year. Never had an issue.

Using the computer for everyday work, the fan rarely has a need to even come on, using the graphics heavily, where you use the Nvidia instead of the onboard, or something that is really heavy on processing, then it will. When the fan runs, it is noticeable but not obnoxious.

nope, mine run pretty quiet.. i run these fans at 80% fan speed while playing games.. but i also have a headset on.. and my watercooler fans are louder then the fans on the GPU. at 43% fan speed, you barely even notice they are spinning

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

Not that I know of. It seems like it isn't as loud if I don't put palm pressure on the front of the stand, as in typing with my palms raised a bit. Slightly tweaking the fans up and down also works sometimes for taking the fans out of a particularly noisy setting. Like you, I absolutely love this stand since it is the first cooling method I have found that reliably cools my Studio XPS 1640, but the noise is something that just comes with the territory, I have found. If I am wrong and you figure out a way to deal with it, let me know!

I have yet to experience any coil whine. The fan can be very loud when I'm pushing the CPU (I sometimes have After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator all running at the same time) but it's fairly quite in normal use.

The fans on both of my units are very quiet, I don't notice them at all, and they're sitting on the desk next to me. It's a quiet fan hum of rushing air. If the noise bothered me, I'd sit them under the desk, maybe. I wonder if you got one with a bad fan?

It can be noisy; you can manually set the speed via the speed control knob on the back of the unit. When set at max yes, it is VERY loud. At its lowest it does create a low hum. Temps only decreased maybe 1-3C, during heavy system load it kept my GTX 670 reference card at a nice 57-60C.
