Problem: It makes a swooshing sound. It's usually only when I first turn the PC on after a while. And it usually goes away. I had my PC off for a full day and just plugged it in and it is still swooshing like crazy.
Kind of like a swooshing-buzzy sound I guess.

How long does it 'swoosh' for once turned on?

Could just be the fan running at 100% for a while?

it's been going for almost an hour
and the fan LED is bright at first then dims so I doubt it's on full

swooshing-buzzy.... is there a lot of air coming out the back, like the fan is on full or the fan itself just makes noise...not air related noise?

But it only does that for people of a certain "persuasion":p:
Sorry, couldn't resist..
