    Hello All,

    So I am running the a program to set my fans 100% output..

    I notice that the fan on the Left outputs more Air than the Right fan.
    The left and right are when looking at the screen typing the message...

    When was the last time you dusted the notebook with canned air?

    In my experience, the GPU fan spins faster and more often than the CPU fan so it would be normal for it to get dusty faster than the CPU fan.

    Ok.. Cleaning the fans did help some. But I feel you are right. The speeds are different...

    SO nothing to worry about and now my temps are lower.

    42c to 46c when surfing the web with fans at normal speeds.
    34c to 36c when fans are at full speed.
    House temp is 70f.
