    Hey everyone,

    I noticed that the air amount comes out from my G73JH-A1 fans isn't equal between the left and right fans.
    In one case the right fan's speed was very fast (and kinda noisy), while the left fan's speed was almost not noticeable. (the air's temperatures of the fans were hot and cold, respectively)
    Also, I noticed that in one case the fans were working hard while there was no heavy program running, or to be precise, no program was running.

    Has anybody else experienced smiliar situation?
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    That's TOTALLY normal.

    The right one services the GPU, the left does the CPU.

    The GPU runs hotter than the CPU, even at idle.

    Again, that's exactly what it's supposed to be doing.

    Wow, I didn't realise that but wondered about it too, since I noticed the stronger vents on the right. Thanks for the info!
