Should fan speed increase when idle?
Hi,
I just received my new latitide D810 (2Ghz cpu, 1GB ram and a Ati 128 mb X600 video card).
It seems to be a great machine, although I was a bit surprised about the noise it sometimes makes.
Even when the laptop has really nothing to do (running idle on a brand new windows xp installation), the fan on the right side (video card) intermittently turns on (about every 5 mins). Also the left cpu fan (which is continuously running - but that's normal) increases its speed sometimes during idle.
The laptop is always on a normal wooden desk.
Why is that? Is that normal? Is it because of the relatively high end hardware?
Kind regards,
Tom
