    so i followed instructions both in a post and in the instruction manual i have fan on 1 and cpu slowed down and i still hear fan noise.

    is this normal?
    when my tech guy did a partial clean install did he do something wrong?

    Are you sure its the fan you're actually hearing? There is always a constant low level sound coming from the notebook harddrive which sounds very similiar to fan noise.
