Hi,

I have a P4 3.0GHz with Mercury 865 motherboard.

Whenever I boot my PC the fan makes too much noise, which reduces after some time.

Whay can be the problem and soultion for that?

P.S.
Temp for CPU at starting is abt 32c
after some time 45c(after the noise reduces)

Please help

P4 always has this problem. Nothing much can be done other than installing a good heatsink and making better ventilation for your CPU.

Open cabinet..and clean processor fan.But do very carefully.

yup, dusty fans makes much noise than normal ones.
Nd is da sound due to air movement or some scratching noise from fan???

dear...........My P4 2.8 processor is 3 yr old, and does not make any noise.So, I dont think there is any issue of noise related to P4 series.

^^^ WHAT

do you have a prescott?

Don't have idea whether my P4 architecture is "prescott" or not.
