You could get used to it, but when you shut down the computer, and silence takes over, makes you think of how to get rid of that fan :) To me, studying in a quiet public place is the issue. Everyone in the room knows when my computer is on. :) I’m having noise problems with my fan too.

The fan control app works well as far as controlling the fan from running all the time, but in my case it leads to the following warning being written to the WinXP System Event Log dozens of times a minute:

Type: Warning
Source: ACPIEC
Category: None
Event ID: 3
Description: \Device\ACPIEC: The embedded controller (EC) hardware returned data when none was requested. This may indicate that the BIOS is incorectly trying to access the EC without syncronizing with the OS. The data is being ignored.

It doesn’t seem to do any harm, but it must affect performance somewhat.
