| Immediately after "Post", I get very loud fan noise. The system is about a
year old using a NVidia 6600GT, AMD 3700, and there is a case fan.
Can someone tell me which fan is probably the culprit ??

Sure, give me your address, pay transprtation costs with a meal stipend, and
a minimal charge (one hour minimum), and I'll come over and find out for
you.
Alternately, you could open your box and find out yourself.

I would say the graphics card fan cos at that point the video processor is
starting to work running the windows environment.

Your diagnoses is probably correct - fans do tend to fail after a while. It
could be the CPU fan, the motherboard chipset fan, the graphics card fan,
the system exhaust fan, the PSU fan. No way for us to tell
Take the side or top off your case and turn on the system and have a
listen - you should easily be able to see which fan is failing. Come back to
us for more help if you need it, but basically find the broken/failing fan
and get it replaced as soon as possible - a component that needs a fan
shouldn't be run without one for very long at all, I'm talking maybe 10-20
seconds! >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm not very handy and this is my primary
system. I do have "ASUS Probe" which monitors fan speeds, etc and all the
fans are working. I'll take the box in and have it fixed. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

The noise is probably the fan spinning badly and about to fail. Don't be put
off by the unknown - opening the case does no harm to anything and when you
are in there you will see how simple things are - it looks scary at first
because you can see the motherboard, but its just like leggo - everything
fits in just one place. It will work perfectly well with the lid off the
case while you have a look. The only 2 fans that might be difficult to
change are the motherboard fan and the graphics card fan, so why not just
pop the lid off and have a look? A new fan would only set you back a few
pounds (or dollars), but taking it to a repair shop will set you back loads
as they will charge inspection fees, labour etc. etc. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

Just stick your finger into the fan to figure out which is causing the
noise... Just do it at the center hub of the fan and you'll be fine. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

Much easier, and safer, to use a short rubber hose with one end by your ear
and the other near the offending part. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

I would agree except mine will start making the noise for a short period after
running for several hours. Boot up noise always happens, later on very
sporadic.
Assuming one or more fans are kaput, can someone recommend a high quality
brand of fans to look at ?? Oh, BTW, the case is an "Ultra" >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

Just an update. The system has been running for five hours and the noise just
started again. Noticed the "chassis" fan speed went from 2500 down to 1800.
Not sure if this meaningful in any way. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

It gets stranger. After ten minutes of noise, and the "chassis" fan running at
1800rpm, it moved back up to 2600rpm and the noise went away. >> Stay informed about: Boot Up Fan Noise |

Sure. If the bearing is eccentric, or sloppy, and the rotor starts to wobble, the
RPMs would drop, and you'd hear more noise from the fan.
I press on the hub (the very center of the blade), to identify a fan
that wobbles. But you have to take the side off the case, to test
all the fans.
Since you've seen the chassis fan speed drop, now all that you need
to do, is identify which fan is connected to the "chassis" fan header
on the motherboard.
If you were thinking of touching the fan power connector, while the
system is running, I wouldn't do that. If the fan wiring needs to be
modified, shut down the system and deal with the wiring changes with
the power off. The fan header is not well designed, to prevent expensive
accidents.
