I have a toshiba laptop and the fan is really noisey, even when the laptop isn't really using much processor power. How can i make it quieter?

If you have a fan facing you while you work on your laptop, you can actually turn off the internal fan since the other fan can already prevent your laptop from over-heating. I believe you can change the settings through one of the pre-installed toshiba software

Replace it (the fan). Sometimes the bearings go bad in those cheap cpu cooler fans. I just replaced the cpu cooler on a desktop, it cost something around $20 to get the part directly from Dell.

Set your power theme to portable/laptop if it's not set like that, try CPU Eat 'n Cool, it will make your computer slower but it'd be making your fan (scream) less

It really works.

try spraying it with the air in a can. this will take any dust off and it may run quiet.
