The reason the K series have to have a fan is as kee-lo said, they have a standard Pentium 4 chip, with speedstep. When the laptop is plugged in, these run hot!. Have you tried changing the performance settings to quiet? It will sacrifice performance to keep fan noise to a minimum, i suggest you try that. Just go on power properties in control panel and u will find it there.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 12 Dec 2004 11:02:52 GMT feederfan 2004-12-12T11:02:52Z fan hum on pcg-k315m https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/fan-hum-on-pcg-k315m/m-p/6925#M118955 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I've just purchased a pcg-k315m and find the constant hum of the fan slightly distracting. is it me or is this the same for anyone else? my previous laptop had a much lower spec and had almost no hum.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 11 Dec 2004 20:05:11 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/fan-hum-on-pcg-k315m/m-p/6925#M118955 grizzlybear 2004-12-11T20:05:11Z Re: fan hum on pcg-k315m https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/fan-hum-on-pcg-k315m/m-p/6926#M118956 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you have a desktop CPU this is normal.<BR /><BR />Even some Pentium M machines hum.<BR /><BR />I just ignore hum.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 12 Dec 2004 00:14:08 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/fan-hum-on-pcg-k315m/m-p/6926#M118956 kee-lo_ 2004-12-12T00:14:08Z Re: fan hum on pcg-k315m https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/fan-hum-on-pcg-k315m/m-p/6927#M118957 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I know what you mean, but its nothing compared to my desktop...that has 8 fans in it and they shift 160cf/m between them through the case!
