Noisy PNY 5600 fan
On startup the PNY 5600 256mb fan makes a horrible sound---quiets down
after a minute or so. Seems to run well in apps---Is this trouble waiting to happen?? System (custom): ASUS P4P with pentium P4 2.4 and 512 mb ddr 333 Thanks John

Could be, sounds like a bad bearing. If you are feeling really adventurous, you could put the smallest of small drops of mineral oil in the breather hole (might be under the sticker, if any, on the hub of the fan blades). However, that's just a patch, and I'd get a new one...hell, I'd ditch it and get a 5700U instead. don't let them charge you a restock fee, it's *defective*.
