    I noticed that the fan on the right side does not really blow air. Once I start gaming, the fan then will start but it seems to feel hot for some reason. The temps are good while gaming around 70c and 65c give or take. I want to know if it is normal for this to be happening.

    Facing the screen, right side fan is the CPU, left side is the GPU. For me, the GPU fan never kicks in until a game is started. CPU fan is either off or running at its lowest possible RPM (depends on usage/ambient temp).

    Edit: Wrong sides, my apologies. Facing the screen, right-hand is GPU, left-hand is CPU. After double-checking, both fans are on most of the time (~25 degrees ambient temp) but the CPU (left) is so quiet I have to bring my face next to the exhaust to feel it spinning (can't hear it). I can hear the GPU fan, but again this is really really quiet. At idle CPU is around 40 degrees, GPU 38 (using HWMonitor).

    The heatsink has some capacity to remove heat passively, modern cards are very good at reducing their power consumption at idle so as long as your idle temps are good that's normal behaviour to save on noise and battery life.
