    Put your headset back on....
    Seriously not much you can do, you want your components to cool don't you?

    Be happy, the M17x is far quieter than most gaming laptops. In fact, my cousin's M17x was very quiet when playing Crysis, only a faint muffled noise coming from it.

    What a useless post.

    To the OP, yeah the noise does get a bit bothersome, but your going to have to get used to it. :(
