The extremely annoying whine my Mac+ has recently begun making when
it warms up seems be telling me that the flyback transformer is
gonna blow if I don't cool it. So, as much as I hate fans (I'm a
soulmate of Jobs on this issue), I figure it's better to pay for a
fan rather than pay to replace the transformer, or worse, the whole
power supply board.
My main concern in getting a fan is noise; I'd like the quietest,
least obnoxious one available. From my understanding of the
piezoelectric fans available, they aren't up to the task of really
cooling a Mac down, so I guess I'm resigned to finding one that's
more effective and less quiet.
So, any suggestions? What fans should I consider? Or should I
reconsider the piezos? Or might the whine be something other than
the flyback?
This is certainly an old issue, so please don't post responses; mail
them, and I'll summarize any exciting thoughts.
Thanks.
