Just because a fan is noisy doesn't mean its moving air. Acutally, it
could mean that the bearing is shot or the fan-shaft interface is
slipping. The motor may be going round full speed and the bios thinks
that all is fine but the fan is moving slowly.
What is the temp of the air coming out of the laptop? It should be not
much above 25 C.
