Computer too fast: laptop fan blaringly loud, everyone leaves the room
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CS390C laptop, which I bought in August 2009. Since 2010, whenever the computer is hot, the fan roars violently about 45-50 seconds per minute. Women with loud-screaming baby twins ask me to keep it down. Everyone else leaves the room. I can't watch movies without subtitles.
I usually just do simple tasks on my computer, and I don't need it to be very fast. In fact, I wouldn't mind if it was 10 times slower if it would just shut up. Changing the fan would solve the problem, but I don't want to do that.
How can I muzzle the beast?
