Here’s a short video segment that will let you hear the fan noise. In this case, the system had hung and was not responding to keyboard or mouse input, so I made a video to record the sound as I was performing a hard shutdown before rebooting.
Perhaps you can judge if the fan is broken or not from the loudness of the fan compared to the silence after shutting down the system. I thought I had a clip of the fan spinning faster and then slower in a cycle while previously running a python program continuously, 24 × 7, but don’t find it. The program was retrieving records from the Stellar blockchain network every few minutes, and writing records to a local PostgreSQL database, and whenever the fan would speed up, there was an annoying high pitch sound that was difficult to live with. But now that I have the program running on an Ubuntu VM in the Azure cloud, I’m ready to focus more on using this system for video editing, and am about to install Davinci Resolve.
I’m not wanting to send it off for repair, but do let me know what you think about the fan. If you have an improved fan that you could send, I’d be glad to handle the replacement, but would need to give you my current address privately.
Thank you!
Christopher
