[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 672262, member: 56231"] From a fellow eMac user - what's the room temperature? It's winter here and my eMac's fan is relatively quiet because the temp in the room is 12 C. However, in mid-summer when this room temp reaches mid-20's C (or higher) the eMac's fan is definitely louder. Second - check the air intakes under the chassis of the eMac, they can get clogged with dust fluff. If the eMac is sitting on a cloth or other 'fluffy' material, maybe the intakes are being obstructed. Third - make sure the eMac is adequately vented at the rear. Don't, for example, place a cloth over the computer, which some people mistakenly do when trying to prevent dust from accumulating. [/QUOTE]
