Are those who have the Yoga with i7 processors still getting fan noise?

I LOVE my Yoga. I don't know why everyone hates on windows 8 either. I have enjoyed every part of my Yoga.

Under normal use that may be the case. However, in my particular case, I have the board in a Pimoroni Pibow Ninja case which doesn't have the most airflow. Coupled with that is the fact I have my Pi overclocked to the highest setting (full 1ghz). These things all taken together plus watching full HD output video causes things to heat up considerably. Put another way, need them or not, it's such a small investment for a good deal of peace of mind why WOULDN'T you get them?

There is always going to be some noise from a thermoelectric cooler, but I recently had a few days of loud noise from the fan. Opened up the back and could not find anything loose. Eventually the fan noise went away in over the span of a week or two. Will be monitoring.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

I found the case fans to be relatively quiet. I have a Noctua NH-L9I CPU cooler and ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 video card as the only additional fan noise. Noise measures in the 25-26 dbA range under heavy load. I have no case vibration unless the Blu-ray drive is active; HD is solid state.

Not that I know of. It seems like it isn't as loud if I don't put palm pressure on the front of the stand, as in typing with my palms raised a bit. Slightly tweaking the fans up and down also works sometimes for taking the fans out of a particularly noisy setting. Like you, I absolutely love this stand since it is the first cooling method I have found that reliably cools my Studio XPS 1640, but the noise is something that just comes with the territory, I have found. If I am wrong and you figure out a way to deal with it, let me know!

I installed it with no problems about a month ago. I used the cpu fan that came with it and have had no issues at all. When I first turned on the system everything boot up great and configuration was a breeze.

It depends on your use for the laptop. If you have an intense use or graphic intensive application you will see a difference but for non intensive tasks such as e-mail, spreadsheets (not too big), web browsing, etc you not notice a difference.On a more personal note if you feel the need to have the best or will not feel at ease go to i7 or even better to yoga 3...but there is always the matter of price.

Define "really loud." Mine makes a noticeable noise throughout its entire on-cycle, but it is slightly louder on start-up. If I had to compare the running noise, though, I'd say slightly above desktop fan and slightly below window fan. It's not "whisper-quiet," that's for sure. But, the 'white noise' effect is somewhat soothing, I find. That's just me, though. I hope this helps!

The fans are quiet but I also have a ssd that helps keep the noise to a minimum. Some of the fans that came with the case not longer work :-/

No but if you play games with high settings the fan sound because needed to cool down the graphic card. If you only you to play movies or use office the fan doesn't make any noise

Same here...fan is all jacked up and incredibly noisy. Never experienced this with 3 previous Toshiba laptops, so I'm inclined to think it's an issue with this model in particular. Does anyone know the best way to remedy?

I had same problem after about 2+ years ownership - one day it became incredibly noisy. It was distracting and not easy to work!So I did what any young scholar of my X/Millenial generation would do - googled it.Fix ended up being the fan/spindle requiring a few drops/helpings of di-electric grease. Read up on the process here (best version I found to take it apart): http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/toshiba-u945-s4390-disassembly.759534/

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

a bit noisy but i have mime on top of the desk. other locations would not be noticeable. rather have a strong fan since processors produce lots of waste heat.

Fan noise was non-existent for me, that's with the 1201n running MacOS under OSx86

It's completely silent to me compared to the 4870 it replaced. Even while Folding@Home is running on it, i never hear the fans ramp up.
