Fan Noise? How's the fan noise/vibration?

Probably not what you are asking about however, I had a fan problem with mine but not right away. After 5 days of ownership, I carried around my N120 and the following day the fan was making a rattling noise. The fan blade was obviously hitting something (similar to a stick hitting bicycle spokes). It appears there was something lose that decided to interfere with the fan blades. It would go away once it is powered down, it would also change volume if you move the computer around. Otherwise, the fan is quiet and normal, no vibration.

Yes, the fan makes some noise. Not unbearable, but not somewhere between a whisper and soft talk.

Hi, Michael. I can't tell, because my other 5 case fans hide it. I can tell you this: the overall noise of the whole system is pretty low. To illustrate this, I had to turn off the air conditioner to notice it. So, the card's fan contribution to noise must be next to nothing. I hope it's useful.

The only way I could see the fan noise being a problem is if you were running 3 screens with a game AND you were trying to sleep next to it in a very otherwise quiet room. On a scale from unnoticeable - horrible: I would say it's very barable.

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.

I've found the fan noise to be similar to other ultrabook-style laptops if I'm using it intensively. It's not excessively loud, but it is noticeable, especially if you're sensitive to higher frequency noises.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

The fan doesn't make much noise. Depending on the temperature setting, the fan makes a low "quite" hum.

The vibration is not bad or bothersome. You will feel a slight vibration on the higher settings.

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

My experience has been that the fan is very quiet. Since I put a solid state drive in it, there is no hard drive noise either.

The fan on ours goes off often, but no, no buzzing. Is it still under warrantee? We had to use our warranty, and although lengthy, the customer service was able to (fina;;y) help us.

its a lot quieter than I expected, definitely quieter than my co-workers fans that are similar. just a little humming, no extra noise when it oscillates.

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?

On high speed it is pretty noisy,but not more than a bladed fan. I'm pretty sensitive to noise so maybe it's me. On low it is just fine

Not bad, constant hum. There are 3 fans, they do a good job of moving air around. You can definitely hear it but Its never been anything that annoyed me or I even noticed.

The fan isn't any louder then a normal case fan. Most of noise comes from the hard drives spinning, which can vary from none if using ssds or very loud if using something that is 10k plus.
