I Hate My Computer

    I really hate my computer. About a year ago I bought a
    DualCore Intel Pentium D 805, 2666 MHz (20 x 133)


    I did it on a whim as 8 year old computer was just slow

    Man I hate this thing. The fan whines at the slightest thing. If I open to windows WHINE

    if I was a flash video, heck, i can't here the video because it gets so loud.

    I feel like throwing it through a wall when I am coding someone's template and it just goes crazy

    what's the point of having a dual core if my parent's celeron i quite as a mute and i hardly see ANY performance difference.

    someone help me!

    Hmm... A common situation, how many mm is the fan? I'd suggest you buy a new, quieter fan from some retailer (online) and replace the old one if you get too fed up with it!

    Make sure the dB is low

    I am an Intel man but...
    I bought an AMD a few months back because my P4 board had a stroke. I can't say I regret it one bit. Now dont get me wrong and start to think I actually like AMD... Cause, I'm an Intel man ;)

    Lets solve the problem instead of discussing about the problem.Why dont you replace the old fan with a new one. Perhaps you will set the issue right.

    Yeah, its usually just a bad fan that causes that. I'd really like to know though my my old computer used to make the room like -20 and this new one boils it...stupid Dual Core. :p

    Clean out your fan and see if that affects anything.
    And if worst comes to worst, maybe buy a new fan? (Or if it gets really bad a new computer?! :p)

    Dont hate your Computer mate, hate your CPU fan. Whats your normal RPM?
    if it's 2000-3000 Get another fan, the current one should be faulty.

    If it's more than 3000, get a water cooling system (they are really silent).
