The dv7 is a deluxe notebook, pretty expensive. The fan sounds like cheap junk. Even if you deactivate 'always on' in the BIOS (it's default when they sell you this junk), it starts and would stop only for minutes, then start again for hours. The noise is unbearable.
What's the point of good speakers if you would put on headphones to cover your ears from the fan? This is the worse system I had since KT7A / Duron 800.
