Noisy fan when cold
I have a noisy fan when first switched on, but it seems to go quiet when it's warmed up ,I've stripped it down and replaced the thermal paste and cleaned the heatsinks

Did you clean the bearing area underneath the fan?

Does this make a difference
Yes. If the bearings are filthy it will reduce performance and increase noise. @noggin343
It did have a small amount of play up and down, but didn't notice any type of noise spinning it by hand
@noggin343 this "noisy fan when first switched on quiet when it's warmed up" leads me to suggest that you replace the fan. Bad bearings etc will do this. PlayStation 3 Super Slim Fan Replacement
