Also another point i have my vid card clocked in this laptop and its stable has hell, course software allows this overclock and restore back to normal when not in 3d intensive programs.

>> Re: Laptop fan always on and really loudAlso, if it was a used/refurb laptop. I THINK both Dell and HP (and likely others, possibly Sony) had problems with overheating nvidia video chips on the mobo, and the way they "fixed" the problem was to patch the code to make the fan(s) run continuously. But the 'burnt' smell could be a cooking mobo. It was traced to a defective nvidia video chip design. So if your laptop uses nvidia chipset, you may have this problem. The overheating chip caused the mobo to fail (interestingly near warranty EOL) and by masking the video chip design problem with their code patch for the fan, these two manufacturers took the ultimate failure to well past warranty. It was a sucky way to treat customers. They later integrated new design chips into their manufacturing lines. It took them quite a while to address the problem. Ultimately, I think they started swapping-out mobos but only if the customer knew what was going on. You can probably find out more about it by searching on the net.

Lesson: whether you're buying used/refurb/retail, check for recalls and other "known" problems with specific models. Won't catch 'em all, but may help avoid some problems. edit to add: link to more info Also note that some laptops have problems with the power connectors. This can also cause the 'burnt' smell. Ultimately, the mobo or connector becomes damaged due to overheating. Toshiba had a lot of problems with some of their power connector2mobo designs.

My fan whirs away at boot but slows right down when surfing and the likes - only DVD/Blu-Rays push it to cause a draft! >> Re: Laptop fan always on and really loudmicro said:
