So, I've had my Averatec C3500 for about a month, and I like it a lot. My only niggling complaint is the fact that the fan comes on ALL THE TIME. I've got a chill pad while I'm working at home which does help a lot, but that doesn't anything if I take it to the library or to a class.

Has anyone actually taken a look inside to see what kind of fan is inside? Is it possible to get a higher quality one that will be a less noisy? I feel like, if I could solve this one problem, all would be right with the world.

Thanks,
Dalton

I solved my problems regarding hot temperature, fan working several times and battery time downloading speedswitchxp.

It is free and it is a must for averatec c3500 users.

Thank you for the tip. I believe there was another post asking about the fan so we'll direct the person to here. Duh - I figured out how to merge the two threads. :yes:

Thanks for that fantastic advice! This is exactly what I was looking for. Care to share any tips on using the application for various battery/CPU settings for maximum performance vs. power saving and fan use?
