Son got a new gaming desktop so he sold me his XPS 8940. Wife and I are primarily using laptops but he gave me a great deal (and desktop 1660 ti is better than my laptop's 780m).
There was an irritating noise coming from the CPU cooler. I can handle a steady hum but the noise was whiny (?) & fluctuated, and that bugged the heck out of me. Watched some YT and replaced the stock cooler with a Vetroo V5 for about $30. It also came with a thermal paste that I used.
Steady hum now while playing Civ 6.
