Why is the ventilator so loud?

Note: There are ventilation slots on the bottom of most TUXEDO notebooks, through which the fan(s) suck in air and blow it into the case. Therefore, never place your notebook on cushions, the upholstery of a couch, on bedspreads, a soft blanket or a tablecloth. In the worst case, the notebook could overheat and cause serious damage.

Fan noise is largely dependent on the system load. If the processor and/or the graphics card have to work a lot, the involved chips need a lot of power, which leads to increased waste heat that has to be cooled somehow. If the ventilation slots are covered, the fan(s) can no longer suck in air. This negatively affects the cooling performance and the fan(s) have to spin faster to provide sufficient cooling. This also increases the device’s noise development.

Contact

We are personally there for you Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm (German time). But also outside these times you can contact our team with your request by e-mail. Please include your customer number, the model name of your laptop or PC and as detailed a description of your request as possible. The more details you give us, the faster we can process your request!

We might not be able to answer questions about third party hardware or software. For questions about popular open source software (Thunderbird, Filezilla...) please contact a forum e.g. ubuntuforums.org. The research effort for application specific setup is immense and not manageable at the current time. Basic compatibility questions e.g. are of course still welcome!

For orders outside the EU there might be additional duties, taxes or charges needed to be paid by the customer. These don't have to be paid to the supplier, but to local authorities. Please check for any details with your local customs or tax authorities before ordering! But as a benefit you don't have to pay German taxes, this means you save up to 19%!
Due to the Brexit and the associated changes, there may be delays of several days in customs clearance on site for deliveries to the UK. This is not within our sphere of influence, so we ask for your understanding.
