Re: Vostro - Noisy Fan at boot

I have just got a Vostro 200 Desktop and have noticed that the fans
(processor and case fan) are very noisy for about 2 seconds as the PC is
booting up and then they quiten down to normal whisper (well nearly) speed.

I realise its not a fault and I have heard other PC makes do this (like
Compaq PC's) but I am just wondering why its designed like that?

The Dimension 2400 I am replacing never did this the fan was always
whisper quiet.

Hopefully in the next BIOS update for the Vostro they might adjust it so
they don't do this in a future BIOS update.

My 3000 didn't do it but my XPS400 does. Shouldn't be a problem. The temp
and fan speed controls probably aren't kicking in until somewhere during
bootup. I don't think the 2400 or 3000 had variablr speed fams controlled by
temp sensors but my XPS and newer Dells do.
