Ok, I have narrowed down my issue. My computer is considerably loud. Enough so, that I am trying to, where possible, find alternative ways of carrying out my studies as the constant hum is disruptive. The problem is one fan. From immediate startup til shutdown it kicks out so much hot air and makes such a loud noise. I cant understand why its blowing out hot air. Even from switch on.

Its inside the silver box at the back. My concern is, that it also houses all the wires which connect to the cable and in turn the plug to power the machine. i dont know if this causes any problems.
Basically when i cover the vent momentarially with my hand, The noise is reduced to the noise id expect for a normal working computer. (going by all my previouse desktops and listening of others) - But the heat it kicks out is quite significant so i realise that covering it up amy do more harm than good.
What i want to know is
a) - What fan is this, and is it possible to get a quieter one
b) - Why is it kicking out so much air / heat even from switch on
Im sorry for the long post but i do hope you can give me some guidance
Thanks for your time
