One of mine's making a noise like an idling black cab - I've reseated the heat sink and messed around with it - only way to get it to stop for a while is to slap the box strategically. Driving me nuts, it's less than a year old but spose I have to get a new one :(

You can sometimes fiddle with smart fan settings in the BIOS if the CPU's running too hot. Didn't work for me cos it's obviously plain knackered but might work for you :)
