Fix that noisy computer fan yourself! And no, we don't mean your highly enthusiastic tech-savvy friend. You know that moment when you need to do something on the computer, perhaps play a video or start a program or a game, and the moment you start it up, the computer fan starts raving and revving? What is this noisy computer fan telling you? Is there a method to safely diminish its sound? Let's find out.
The purpose of a computer or laptop fan is to prevent the inner circles of your device from heating up. When so many technological components are crammed together in one metal box, chances are they will generate more heat than is safe. That's where the fan comes in.
If your laptop fan makes uncharacteristic noises, it may be broken and must be replaced by a professional. But sometimes, if it's not that serious, you can fix the problem on your own.
Even the most powerful and newest models of MAC computers tend to have particularly noisy fans. To fix that problem, you might want to reset either your System Management Controller, or the NV-RAM. Sound like gibberish? Let Jason Cross from Mac World walk you through it.
There are several steps you can take on your computer that directly control when your fan will go into action. This video briefly explains all the steps you can take. We suggest keeping it as a reminder of what you did, in case you'd like to reverse your actions.
