    hi all. first off, thanks for viewing and for any helpful responses! :3

    i have the asus g74sx xr1 model. there's a noise coming from within the laptop, possibly a fan? it's brand new, 2nd day with it, and it's upgrading windows at the moment.
    should i be concerned w/ this noise? or is this standard to huge gaming laptops?

    Is it distracting? It's hard to say (obviously), but it could be a fan. Does it get louder when you game or do something intensive? If so, it's likely a fan, if it just stays the same volume no matter what, it could be something loose or something like that.
