A lot more so than any other 17" notebooks. In fact it is so noisy I get asked to move location in quiet environments like a library at University!!!<BR /><BR />Is this a common issue with the 17", is there an upgrade which monitors temperature and uses the fan more efficiently, hard or software?<BR /><BR />Regards<BR /><BR />Andrew<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 07 Nov 2006 16:34:47 GMT https://community.sony.be/t5/pcs-accessories/noisy-fan/m-p/154405#M87685 hm_explore 2006-11-07T16:34:47Z Re: Noisy Fan https://community.sony.be/t5/pcs-accessories/noisy-fan/m-p/154406#M87686 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a 17" and it is very quiet.
