    I recently bought a new U36SD. How much noise is everyone else experiencing from the fan on these laptops? My U36's fan is pretty loud I think. The fan has a real high pitched squealing sound to it. Also, it makes a sort of grr sound when the fan starts up and is spinning down.

    My question is simple, really. Is the fan on these laptops supposed to make so much noise? I have experience with a few asus laptops, but they aren't the super thin types, so I'm just really not sure...

    Oh, also I called ASUS support and they were utterly worthless and the dude sounded like a robot.
