    Hello everyone ,
    Just yesterday i was checking my e-mail before going out it started by its own to get the Fan really noisy and it sounded like the speed also increased , i never abused the laptop , hit it or something like that , you can even see the film over the touch pad is still there after 10 moths , i keep it very carefully and take care of it, i kept it in feathers if you can say that.

    I uploaded a video on youtube , please advice. :(

    My guess is that the fan has got a little of his center of balance and now it's not that quiet...
    Also if you know if guarantee covers this .

    Thank you so much,
    Razvan

    Hi Razvan - The feathers you are keeping your G74SX in may be clogging the fan exhausts and causing it to overheat... ;>{)> Couldn't view your video since it was saved as "Private".

    Seriously. load up HWINFO64, choose to activate the EC Sensor, when you first launch the "Sensors" dialog, then monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures and fan speeds. Report them at idle (no other programs running) and when the fans are noisy while performing normal activities or gaming. For comparison, my 10 month old G74SX-A1 in a 25 C room has 50 C CPU Core Max and 45 C GPU with fan speeds averaging ~2600 RPM for both during normal use. I can't hear the fans unless the room is completely silent.
