    Hello everyone!

    I know that all HP Pavillon dv4 has fan noise issue, but I have a problem here.

    So here is the story:

    My mother bought a dv4 (model US) with AMD cpu and radeon 3200. I think that it is a good notebook and it make not too much noise, of course, above other I had.

    This summer, my sister bought the same dv4, but model CA, with the same components...and it BLOW AIR like hell. A lot more than my mother's one.

    In the same room, surfing web...my sister's dv4 is a lot louder.

    The two notebooks have the lastest BIOS F56 and Catalyst 10.11.

    What makes it scream like that?? How Can I make it sound like my mother's one..that it is acceptable.

    Thanks a lot!!

    David
