Clon12, last time i wish to do a clean install, but end up i formatted whole drive including the recovery partition. The partition by default is GPT partition, therefore you cannot install the windows in the usual way.

Make sure you go study about how to install windows on a GPT partition, then only decide want to perform formatting or not.. I format my n56 becoz when i play game, jitters happen oftenly, PPS cannot stream with full speed, speaker gave me buzzing sound when i play music and doing programming at the same time.

what i found out is the pre-install windows cannot perform music playback with other process which need your harddisk or processor to do something at the same time, eg. Watching youtube gave me buzzing sound, WMP or other music player + browsing activities, open the windows explorer, click something. all also cause a buzzing sound to me).

after reformat the whole drive, all problems gone. Hope someone else can clarify as there are maybe other problem as well.

*This is my personal experience, just for reference.

mine when idling is around 50-55, once you run some applications, such as browser, immediately increase to 60+..
when gaming, Dirt 3, BF 3, it goes up to 80+..

no aircond, no cooler pad, just a table fan beside me...

air ventilation is loud, hot, and large volume of air flow.. once quit from the game, all back to normal within 5-10mins..

celee, maybe you can try with re-download the driver at Asus N56, choose the your model and select audio.
uninstall is recommended but you can just proceed to install without uninstall.
Hope it helps.
