Hey all,

I use my laptop for 10 to 14 hours a day now for 3 weeks.
It has been come my Work machine and gaming machine.

Today the fans started to become a bit louder but not faster.
Should I be worried?

Right now they are acting what I call normal, but I have had more unfriendly sounds coming from them at one point today...

Back round, I understand what a bad bearing sounds like.. I work on cars as a hobby and have built about 300 pc over the last 12 years...

Also, is there harm in removing the Battery, so it is not being over charged or jus re-charged when it falls below 90%?

Dust build-up on the fan blades is probably the first source of extra noise.

If the battery's circuitry is working correctly it shouldn't ever over-charge. You can remove it if you'd like...common concensus is store it at 40% charge. In an air-tight container in the refrigerator - even better.
