    Hey,

    I have a very annoying problem with my asus n56vz notebook and I hope somebody on this forum can help me with this.

    For about 4 years I own this asus laptop. I remember that it took about 3-4 months for the fan noise to increase. I always thought (until now) that the reason for this noise is the high specs of the notebook. One year ago I even cleaned out the dust and replaced the heatpaste with artic silver.

    Now when I open an application or browse around, the fan noise becomes medium. You can hear it very well but it's doable. But when I try to play a game with the nvidia 650m it increases to a level where i can't even hear myself thinking anymore. Other people find it annoying too.

    I hope that with the given specs screenshots somebody can figure out why the fan speed is so high, although i think the CPU temperature is normal.

    Speccy screenshots:
    I have uploaded 4 screenshots which are visit-able with the following link: http://imgur.com/a/T9l0A#0

    When the screenshots where maybe i had about 15 google chrome tabs open, notepad, 1 word document, nvidia control panel and that's it.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. For now i'm looking for a solution other then reopening my laptop and cleaning it (i'm not home for now). Thanks in advance!

    Upper 80's to lower 90's is too high for a CPU.
    I would do the repaste job again and see if you can get better temps.

    That's not enough load to warrant those kind of temps. High 80s is more or less "safe," but from what you described, I agree with Hutsady: clean the system and consider repasting.

    Update:

    I cleaned out the fan, as far as I could, and i applied new paste. Now the first hour the temperature of the CPU is ~50 degrees. And the fan is nice and quite :D This is without using the fancontrol software. So I hope this stays for a good half year before it returns to the airplane amount of noise. Thx!

    Excuse me, but could you confirm with GPU-Z if your GPU as GDDR3 or GDDR5 RAM?
    The Asus specs list the N56VZ as having GDDR3 but your image says GDDR5, if it uses GDDR3 it might be a potential BIOS to extract the VBIOS for my project.

    Best regards.

    In the bottom there is a combo-box that says Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000, can you change it to the NVidia GPU and take another screen-shot?

    Thanks
