Hi all,
I've had my Vortex IV for about a month now and it's been a rocky start - various formats have been required due to the wrong image being installed when it was sent out....and then 8.1 didn't like the Intel drivers etc etc. Generally, it's been a bit of a sod.
BUT NOW! Now we seem to be cooking on gas, which is good, I like this.
Apart from one thing, the fan...it's on all the time, in the background. It's annoying, I've never had a laptop like this, I was trying to get away from fan noise which I got from the desktop (I'm spoiled by my MacBook Pro at work I think). I'm curious to see if it is just me or this is a common feature for everyone who has one of these?
To give an idea of what I'm talking about, it's just a constant drone in the background, it ramps up when it's working hard and if you press Fn+1 you really get the fans on fullbore and it sounds nothing like that so at least I know the fans aren't running at full pelt, I was just expecting them to be fairly idle, especially as it is sitting on a Zalman NC3500 cooling pad.
Thanks in advance,
Goose
