    The noise sounds like the fan is hitting something while it spins, coming from the back left underside of my M17x. I'm assuming that is the graphics card fan, but I have no idea how to even get to it. Its under an area covered by the red armor plating that was an upgrade feature. Any link to a guide to get to it? I've tried searching for The Moo's guides, but I cant ever seem to find it within the many many people he's helped.
