Yes,
that's why I speculated about fans - perhaps it's designed for
(say) three times the airflow the case is giving it, and the only
real problem is the fan? It strikes me as unlikely, but no more so
than any other failure mode I've come up with that matches the
symptoms.
Do you know that the fan is the original one? Is it possible that somebody has replaced the fan with
a lower
airflow one in a misguided attempt to make the machine quieter?
Could be for all I know. Anyone got a fan CFM spec for the 2k? :)
