How loud can cooling fans actually get inside of a computer? Should it sound like someone is vacuuming? Well, mine isn't that bad but it is pretty loud- basically, it sounds like a small electric fan you'd keep next to you so you're cool when your programming on a 120 degree day. Should I take the computer back and get a quiet fan, or is this a sign that something is wrong with my computer. It does sound smooth and it's been a few months since I had it.

Thanks for any help!

fast computers require good cooling.

If you're really worried about noise then get a watercooler
