    When my processor goes pass 1ghz the max is 1.6ghz the fan starts up and gets a very annoying buzzing sound. Now the laptop has 5.5 years but i don't want to retire it yet (because of $) so i need to know if the sound is normal for other laptops of this age/model when they go pass 1ghz, and if taking the laptop apart and cleaning it very well would help and ultimately if i must , buying a new fan. So what is it clean it, buy it a new fan, no solution?.. help please
    PD: if there's an owner of a R15 can you record the noise of the fan at 1.6ghz i'm pretty sure mine its not normal but i want to compare, I know the sound of a buzzy fan from other laptops but in mine it sounds reallllly loud

    probably you have to clean it(from dust)
    if the the buzzing persist you have to replace the fan
