I'm pretty sure its the GPU fan. I know what the CPU fan is like because I've heard it since I got it. I installed the nouveau driver today and for the first time I heard the GPU fan by itself. Furthermore, not only does it sound different, it comes from a different part of the laptop. Interesting experience. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
