Hey, I was just wondering how often your fan goes on ? Mine is on constantly under Vista , not that it makes much noise (depends on load) , but I can still hear it spinning. Does it ever go completely off for you guys ?

I have the same problem with my TZ. I wonder if anyone has a solution for this problem, short of buying earplugs, it's driving me crazy. I hope Apple unleashes a great new compact lappy soon, so I can dump this one.
And, to think, I sold my previous TZ because it was too quiet! -
Does anyone have any solution for this? Is there a new version of Speedfan that's compatible with Vista, or some other utility that would let me throttle the fan?
-
Speedfan will not solve your problem. You could try rmclock though. -
I will try rmclock, thanks for the tip, Phil! -
OK, I installed RMClock and it reports that my core temperature is a constant 63-64 degrees. I know that's not normal, my ASUS occasionally reached that temp, but was usually 56 degrees.
Any other TZ owners care to post their core temperatures? -
CPU temperature is around 59 degrees on average. Btw I found out it wasn't the CPU fan that was making that noise for my suprise it was the 160GB HDD. Now when I don't use it I just turn the second HDD off and the only thing I hear is mouse click.

Same here...
64 degrees on my TZ! -
It just hit 70 degrees!
-
TZ170N/B here and the fan is not constantly on. In the last 5 minutes of use, browsing the wen it came on twice for about 10-15 seconds each time.

I solved the fan problem!
It turned out that when I transferred my Outlook data files, while switching to MAPI to support my iPhone, Outlook insisted on using the send.pst file on the D: drive. Once I switched it back to the SSD, Outlook no longer hits the D: drive continously and the core temp is now 59.9 degrees!
Now, I have to just decide whether to get rid of Firefox, that other resource hog that raises core temperature! -
Interesting points. Has anybody tried Opera instead of Firefox and had any experiences with temperature/fan with Opera?
TZ90 fan
