Hi all who replied,

Many thanks for the very sound advice on my noisy CPU fan problem. I have done the basics first and removed and cleaned throroughly the CPU fan and heatsink fins. The fins in particular were very dusty. This remedial work has made quite a difference. No suprise there really as it was very encrusted!

If it gets particularly noisy again quite soon, Ill take the extra advice given and just buy a much lower decibel CPU nd fan.

Anyway thanks again,

best regards,

Mintyline
