Hi.

First of all here are my computer specs, its a custom made pc, The case has no name or brand on it, so cant be sure if it even has a brand.
Windows vista home premium
The graphics card is not very good, it is a standard vga graphics adapter, my vista gives it a score of 1.... I cannot eve use aero graphics.
Intel (R) pentium (R) d cpu 3.40 ghz 3.40 ghz
Memory ram: 1470 MB
32 bit operating system

My pc fan is extremley loud, and is always loud. Its hard to hear volume from the speakers, the fan is that loud, you wouldn't believe it.

I've taken the fan out completley, cleaned it, air compressed it, vacumed it, got rid of all dust, put it back in and still loud as all hell.
I'v unplugged it and left it unplugged, but the pc randomly reboots when this happens, I even put a small desk fan next to the pc, it still reboots.

I cannot tolerate the fans loudness much longer, I am going deaf.
Do I have to buy a new fan or is their another way around this?

Any tips? Any programs I can use to tell my pc's temperature? Would using a desk fan help?

Thankyou all.

Buy a larger fan or one with thermostatic control, that is my advice. But which fan is it? The one on the CPU? Or a case fan? Or the PSU fan?

There are several free progs that give a continuous readout of temperatures and some control the fans too. MBM, Motherboard Monitor, is good if you know your Motherboard. Also try Speedfan.

Lol, yeah, dont do that. Fans cool stuff so unplugging it will melt things.

Sounds like the bearings could have gone. If it's that bad replace it, they're not expensive.

That sounds fair, though the CPU could do with cooling a bit. Have you enabled fan control?

There should be a menu top right? Options or preferences? But does it display fan speeds, cos otherwise no control!

At that RPM it's bound to make a lot of noise, you can try adjusting it through the BIOS.

If you don't know how can you tell us the brand and model number of the motherboard.
