My first guess would be that this is not related to the kernel version, but |
| 9 |
is more related to the aging of the fan(s) themselves. Fans do wear out |
| 10 |
over time (just had a switch that had two fans start squealing this week |
| 11 |
that needed changed). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'd suggest replacing the fans with some newer ones. Go the expensive route |
| 14 |
and get those quiet fans, especially for the myth box (last thing you want |
| 15 |
to hear is a fan when watching myth). |
| 16 |
|

Of course you can verify all of this by installing an old kernel and |
| 18 |
determine if the noise level drops, but I'd be very surprised if that is the |
| 19 |
case. |
