anybody experience noisy fan in your SZ series laptop?
geeeezz my laps fans too noisy.
-
When is it too noisy? Mine is fine under normal web browsing, it's on and off and just very quiet. Only starts blasting off when its really under intensive applications.
-
I really didn't have a problem with noisy fans on my SZ460; in most cases it was dead quiet, frankly.
The only time I could really get the fans to be audibly loud was after a long gameplaying session, when the CPU temp also got very high, but even then it wasn't too bad. -
geezz!!! so i have a problem.
mine is too noisy even in sleepmode.
any suggestion guys? -
You running @ 2.16 Ghz 24/7?
I run my 1 Ghz most of the day and its really quiet. -
-
mine's really quiet.
it's only noisy when under intense cpu usage.
perhaps your fan is dirty. i'd recommend cleaning it with compressed air. -
-
-
yes. i updated to ver 2.0
what level of cpu fan you have guys? mine is at level 5.... -
-
-
yeah i change to adaptive, before i install the ver 2.
but the problem now is i can't find that icon for power management with level selection after i update to ver 2.0! -
guys when you turn on your laps....hows the fan speed? is it at full blast?
mine is like in high setting already. -
I suggest use level 5 when you are in performance mode or AC plugged-in. Just experience bit sluggish issue when in Adaptive mode when plugged-in. -
Hey f_alejandro,
How do you update the VAIO Power Management I'm still on 1.9 =P.
Thanks. -
Im also curious , how do you set your sz to run at 1ghz in stead of 2ghz?
-
Where to download the latest version of Power Management), for SZ (XP)? I have searched on the Net but could not find. Tks

VAIO United kingdom support
Often times, i download my drivers and updates using this site for the reason that this is the most updated. For example, my SZ48 has this Go7400 video driver dated Dec. 2006, whereas the UKs has this February 2007 release. -

sony also issue the update for that driver or directly to NVIDIA? any link pls for latest update. -
How do I tell what version of Vaio Power Management I'm running?
-
i'm using: vaio optimized, cpu adaptive, stamina mode, and fan speed is adaptive.
i'd check the cpu. if a process using using a lot of cpu then obviously the fans will spin at max. if the cause is not related to the cpu then i'd suspect dust on the heatsink/fans/etc. -
By the way, the way Windows update function is quite dumb. Ok i know, the update system only checks for verified or signed drivers. but this is foolish. So instead, download direct from manufacturer. Nvidia to be exact. Or you can use the modified (non-official driver for Go7400) from softpedia. Here's the link. of course this is not microsoft signed. But it works perfectly on me.

by the way, there's a lot of upgrades that Vista don't upgrade if if you use Windows update. One important update would be our Intel 802.xx wi-fi module. head to intel.com and search for your wi-fi module model. Control Panel > System > Device Manager again. Happy updating!!! -
Go to My Computer. Click on your C: drive. Browse through
C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Power Management\
There's these two files with .EXE extensions. spmview.exe and the other spmgr.exe. Right click these files (one at a time of course) then click properties. from there you will be seeing the file version and Software version. the latter file would be your power management program.
By the way there's these new updates for WinDVD and Program Management System. Just follow the process above to see the current versions and note it down. After your update, follow the same process. You should see the version changes of course. -
our vaio now rocks. lol. and by the way, have a proper air circulation and ventilation on the place where you are working. heat humidity should also be observed for our machines to work on their optimal performance. dont put your vaio on plastics or cloths as well. Wood, metal tables ang glass would be better to put your vaio on.

FYI don't install SZ4x Power Management on an SZ2x. I just did and Power Management won't start anymore.
SZ series: Noisy fan!
