I have a Dell Studio XPS 9000 with a Radeon 5870 graphics card that is making too much noise. I think it is fan noise. I called tech support, who replaced two fans. Didn't help - if anything it's noisier now than it was! Just idling, it's not quiet.
The system is about a year old. (Are there more than the 2 fans in the system by the way?)
(1) Can anyone suggest how to quiet this system?
(2) I contacted a 3d party vendor who makes quieter fans, supposedly, but the vendor needs the exact model numbers or types or something of the Dell fans. Does anyone know how to find out exactly what kind of fans are in the Dell XPS, and also exactly what 3d party solutions for quieter fans there are, if any?
