How to Reduce the Noise of Your LENOVO CPU Fan

The LENOVO G560 CPU Fan is what keeps the processor of your computer cool while the machine is running. A noisy fan on the CPU can be very annoying for users of the computer. However, it can also be a sign of a dangerous problem in your system. If the CPU fan is making noise, it is probably not running at full capacity to cool the processor, which leaves your computer open to problems involving overheating of the processor. An overheated processor can be permanently damaged.

Step 1

Unplug the computer from the wall. Remove all devices from the back of the computer and move them away from the area where you will be working. Either wear an anti-static wristband or discharge any static by touching a metal part of the computer case.

Step 2

Remove the screws from the back of the computer case with a screwdriver. Pull the sides of the case off and set them aside. Lay the computer on its side so that you can easily see the motherboard and all parts connected to it. Locate the CPU fan; it will look similar to the image in the introduction.

Step 3

Ensure that no cables are hanging low and touching the blades of the CPU fan. Move any cables or other parts that could be hitting the blades of the fan causing noise. Tuck these cables and wires into an area where they cannot interfere with the CPU fan.

Step 4

Use a cotton swab to remove any dust that you can from the blades of the CPU fan. Don't use any harsh solvents or other cleaners that could drip down and damage the processor through the fan.

Step 5

Spray the compressed air into the fan to move the loose dust away from the processor fan. Move the dust into an empty section of the case with the canned air. Don't spray the air too hard or else you can spread the dust into other places in the computer.

Step 6

Use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the dust that you moved away from the CPU. Place a crevice tool or other attachment onto the hose to reduce the size of the opening and help ensure that you only remove dust.

Step 7

Replace the computer case. Plug the computer and all devices back in. Boot up the computer and check for reduced LENOVO G560 CPU Fan noise.

How To Fix Annoying Thinkpad R61 Fan Woes

It is often the case with most computer users that their Thinkpad R61 Fan starts to trip and behave erratically. This annoyance may result from a variety of reasons. The most obvious reason is the computer maintenance that is usually overlooked by many of us like keeping a dust-free system, appropriate CPU cooling, or running disk maintenance utility randomly.

The parts of your computer system are not immune to damages. As a consequence, they suffer from periodic failures. The computer fan is designed to keep the integral parts of your computer system from overheating. In the event of CPU fan failure, the components may overheat leading to damage. If the internal drive of the system heats up, you will be at the peril of permanent data loss.

A CPU fan failure is followed by various weird things that would alert you that something with the system has gone awry. You will experience the following when the fan inside your computer case becomes faulty:

Noise
Your CPU fan serves the purpose of cooling the machine by spinning quietly in the background. The fan usually becomes noisier during a system shutdown or startup. When the fan starts emitting a rattling sound, there is a good chance that the fan is about to fail. This typically happens because of the dust that accumulates on the fan over time.

Overheating
When the fan fails to serve the purpose of cooling computer components, these components overheat leading to a noticeable performance decline. A computer with overheated parts tends to freeze and lock up randomly. Overheating of hard drive is the most deadly sign of a fan failure. If you happen to run into this problem, then ‘Blue Screen of Death’ messages show up intermittently.

Error Messages Indicating Fan Failure
If your system has the ability to detect a failing fan, you are very likely to receive error messages specific to fan failure, such as ‘CPU 1 fan failure’ and ‘Power supply fan failure’. These errors are indicative of a malfunctioning fan. In such situations, your computer is immediately shut down to prevent any kind of damage.

Fixing a Malfunctioning Fan
There is a definite course of action you can follow to troubleshoot your malfunctioning computer fan. You should follow these actions immediately after experiencing the signs of a failure.
If your system emits a weird noise, you need to have a closer look at your system. There are other components that could emit the same noise if they malfunctioned (such as hard drive and DVD-ROM drive). You need to carefully examine whether the fan is rotating and other components are working fine. Try to identify the real culprit behind the issue.
It is generally a good practice to clean the fan periodically. The underlying cause of a fan failure is often the dust that accumulates on the fan blades over time. This happens due to more stress on the fan when it pushes air through.
You may consider lubricating the fan with a lightweight mechanical oil. This would remove the dust and make it suitable for long-term use.
You can take out the fan from your computer and unscrew it to get hold of the tiny metal balls called bushings and bearings. You can clean them up, remove the old grease, and apply some lubricant to allow them function smoothly. This will reduce the effort required by the motor to spin the fan. Put the fan back in place to see if that remedies the problem.
If all the above workarounds fail, you need to replace Thinkpad R61 Fan with a working one. If the motor is damaged, you will undoubtedly require a replacement.

Recommendations
The best part is you can prevent the problem from occurring in the first place by following a few recommendations as listed below:
If you have a laptop, it is advised to always connect a power cord during use.
If you are not running memory-intensive applications on your laptop, you can use it anywhere (even on your lap). In case you are performing games or performing video editing, it is advised to place it on a well-aerated surface.
If you live near an industrial area, it is wise to blow air regularly near the vents to keep dust off your computer.

How to Replace the CPU Fan in the LENOVO G560

If your LENOVO G560 laptop is making more noise than usual, the culprit could be a faulty CPU fan. If left unchecked, this could cause overheating of the laptop and the CPU, resulting in damage and costly repair. Fortunately, this is a fairly simple part to replace for a user with a little experience.

First, you will need a replacement part. Visit our online store for replacement parts for many laptop models, or visit a section such as LENOVO G560 CPU Fan or LENOVO Laptop System boards to browse more specific results.

Once you have your replacement part, follow these steps to replace the fan in your LENOVO G560:

1. As with any repair, disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter cable, and remove the battery. Make sure you are properly grounded by touching something metal or using an anti-static wrist band before disassembling.

How To Troubleshoot a Noisy LENOVO G560 CPU Fan

Fans located throughout the inside of the computer help to dissipate the large amount of heat generated by the CPU, the power supply and other components.

Noisy fans are an indication that they are not working properly which means that heat may be building up inside the computer - a potentially damaging scenario.

Follow these steps to determine why one or more of these fans may be making loud or strange noises.

1.Clean the LENOVO G560 CPU Fan.

2.Clean the power supply fan.

3.If the noise persists and can be narrowed down to the CPU fan, replace the CPU fan.

4.If the noise persists and can be narrowed down to the fan inside of the power supply, replace the power supply.

Note: Due to safety concerns, it is never recommended to open the power supply and replace only the fan. I always recommend that the entire power supply be replaced instead.

5.Many fans in perfect working order will simply get louder as the system gets hotter. In this case, it may be necessary to move your PC to a cooler area.

6.If moving the PC is not an option, you may need to invest in more powerful LENOVO G560 CPU Fan or in a more advanced cooling system like liquid cooling.

Silent LENOVO X61 CPU Fan

We carry the quietest and most efficient CPU Fan ever made. Our quiet LENOVO X61 CPU Fan are designed with the use of highly heat conductive copper and a larger, efficiently designed, heatsink surface area to radiate heat far more effectively than standard heatsinks. These coolers move heat away from the CPU with ultimate efficiency, in order that they can be paired with slower spinning fans. Truly quiet CPU Fan include four outstanding characteristics:

Large (in some cases almost massive) heatsinks which can radiate more heat away from your CPU
The use of high efficiency copper either in the base or throughout the whole heatsink

Large fans which move more air in relation to how fast they spin
High quality craftmanship, including:
Smoother fan bearings
Efficient, smooth fan design
Solid, smooth, quality heatsink
In some cases, the inclusion of heatpipes to facilitate heat transfer
What Makes Quiet CPU Fans  Different?

Most standard CPU Fans use a cheaper aluminum heatsink with noisy, higher speed fans. The high-speed fans are required by standard coolers in order to move enough air past the aluminum heatsink to keep the CPU cool enough. In contrast to standard aluminum CPU Fans, the quiet CPU Fans we carry are made from more expensive, but much more conductive copper. Although copper is more expensive, it is essential in making a quiet CPU Fan. Copper is nearly twice as efficient at conducting heat than aluminum. It would be next to impossible to quietly cool today's higher speed, hotter CPUs without using copper in the design.

The more heat today's computer processors generate, the more efficient the LENOVO X61 CPU Fan must become in order to avoid using a noisier, higher and higher speed fan to cool them. All of the silent coolers we carry exceed this challenge: they not only keep your CPU cool, but the coolers themselves are extremely quiet.
