    Hello again fellow Razer Blade 2014 owners!

    I noticed the other night that the fan on the bottom left side of my Razer blade made a slightly different humming noise than the fan on the right side.

    I am basically looking for someone to tell me I'm nuts, because everything is working fine and I KNOW that it is :).

    Is it worth it taking it back to the Microsoft Store and getting them to take a look? (The sane part of me is saying "NO. not at all").

    Thanks!

    I think I am (was) facing the same issue. Is one more silent while the other sounds like a very very faint rumble? I think it went away.

    The left side does make a different noise when the GPU is in use. A few people have reported this, those who say they don't hear anything don't notice the small things like we do. It's definitely normal, nothing to worry about! If you did exchange it you might get a unit with coil whine or a different problem that will combine with the noise you're hearing. Get some in-ear earbuds or noise isolating headphones and you'll forget all about it in a couple days.
