If i shutdown almost every program eventually the fan slows, however moving the mouse causes it to spin up again.<BR /><BR />Is there any way to alter the fan settings? <BR /><BR />Cheers<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Dec 2004 15:53:00 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80498#M117452 jaywalker 2004-12-28T15:53:00Z Re: PCG-GRT715M Fan problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80502#M117453 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,<BR /><BR />Have you tried setting your fans to quiet in power settings in control panel?<BR /><BR />This will mean less performance as the CPU will use less cycles.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Dec 2004 16:54:50 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80502#M117453 kee-lo_ 2004-12-28T16:54:50Z Re: PCG-GRT715M Fan problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80504#M117454 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I dont see any option to set it to quiet either in the power panel or the power options under control panel.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Dec 2004 19:17:16 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80504#M117454 jaywalker 2004-12-28T19:17:16Z Re: PCG-GRT715M Fan problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80506#M117455 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Clean out the fan with a vacuum cleaner or air duster.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Dec 2004 22:15:16 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80506#M117455 robpaxton 2004-12-28T22:15:16Z Re: PCG-GRT715M Fan problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80508#M117456 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Will give that a go <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> cant see how its gonna stop the thing being on fully whenever the pc is doing anything more complicated then moving the mouse cursor<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Dec 2004 00:08:16 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80508#M117456 jaywalker 2004-12-29T00:08:16Z Re: PCG-GRT715M Fan problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-grt715m-fan-problems/m-p/80511#M117457 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If the fan is clogged with dirt then the processor will heat up rapidly, even under the slightest load.
