    I just got my g750jx but I noticed the fan will slow down the spinning for a half a second. It gets a little annoying. I am not sure if this is normal.

    On mine (also G750-JX) the fans rev up and down, even shut off, depending on load. Haven't noticed the half-second pulsing you're describing at all.

    I am going to make a YouTube video, but the fan will rev normal then stop then go and stop. Once i find a quiet place i will show you what I mean.

    It's the half-second duration that has me concerned. If it's more or less regularly "hunting" up or down - or even off - that's totally normal, depending on load, as I say. Full stop for 1/2 a second isn't. Try playing an intensive game that gets the fans spinning pretty much all the time; if it does it then I'd say there's an issue you should address with ASUS or your dealer.

    I am installing bf3 as we speak, so then I will test the fans and see if the same problem with the fan will occur.

    Just tested the fan in bf3, the laptop had a steady pace going with the fan, it did not throttle at all.

    As long as it's working and not overheating then you are fine.

    It might be your idle temperatures are just on the threshold for them shutting off, if you raise the back of the machine a little maybe you can tip it over the edge to being off for longer.
