My 20" has an annoying fan noise. Even lightly loaded. It does not seem to be wind noise, more like bearing rumble or even cogging of the poles. Anybody had this problem?
It's not too hot here - ambient mid twenties - (�C) (Thai mid winter). I am worried what it will sound like when Thailand turns on the heat.
Thanks for any comments, Stuart.
P.S. Did anybody see that Mr Dithers uses a Powerbook?
There's a lot of discussion about this fan noise on the web. I discovered it when I updated the software on my G5 iMac 17" from OS 10.3.5 to 10.3.7. The fan noise would get louder and higher pitched when performing multiple tasks. The sound was similar to a single engine plane not doing so well. A lot of discussions blamed the noise on the software update, so I figured I'd give it a try. I reverted the software back to 10.3.5. Now when I try to get the imac to make that noise, it won't.... so problem solved! Hope you have similar luck.
