FZ11L - heat and fan noise

Hey I have a FZ11L laptop, I've had it one year I find that it produces an extraordinary amount of heat with the exhaust vents producing air so hot it feels almost like a hair dryer, I have the laptop perched on a laptop cooler with two fans providing ventilation which mannage to keep the base of the laptop relatively cool without it becoming blisteringly hot, also i find the laptops fan to be rather noisy and very often going like the clappers, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is anything that can be done, also I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with removing vista from there laptop and replacing it with XP and if this had been a better option, I just find vista annoying slow and a royal pain in the backside and I don'r really know how to make it go faster

Hi amkanani,

welcome to Club VAIO.. :slight_smile:

What is the normal running temperature of your Vaio..?

If you're unsure PCWizard is a handy application to check your Vaio’s temperature. To download use the following link: PC Wizard
