Does this make a difference

Yes. If the bearings are filthy it will reduce performance and increase noise. @noggin343

@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
