    I haven't noticed but it's on right now. I will pay more attention to it and report back. However it's quite quiet compared to other laptops I have had (Sony, Dell).

    This link is a Dell fan utility. I ran a simular one on my 3500.

    Have you tried hitting Fn + Z? That should reset the fan speed.
