computAr crew: my fan is louder than usual
This is happening more often now. I checked inside, and it doesn't seem to be hitting anything. It's just louder. I just hit it for a temporary fix. Should I get a new fan or what?

Or yours is probably too dusty.
Just get a new one.
Pretty cheap, that is unless you have a Dell

That's what happened to mine last month. I would tap it and it would be fine for a few minutes and it would come back. Fan was like $10.

Best post evar. Thanks, I'll buy a new one today.
