    Running anything more than background tasks seems to make my vaio SA incredibly loud - the fan doesn't seem to be progressive at all, it just whirrs up straight away.

    Is this common?

    Has anyone took theirs apart to replace the TIM? Does/would this work?

    Any tips on settings to change to improve matters?

    CPU load temperatures are around 95degs, but that's without loading the GPU at all, so Im a little concerned about whats going to happen when I start gaming
