    Hi ppl,
    I have this laptop for more than a month, and it works great! But since the beginning that I hear a ticking sound from time to time... Today I decided to investigate what it could be and...I found out that every time my GTX 680M "turns on" it does the sound o_O

    For example if I turn GPU-Z, which is constantly pulling info from the GTX 680M, it makes the ticking sound (which is hear able only in full silence! When the fan starts it's very difficult to hear)...


    Anyway the GPU works great, has great temps and does an amazing OC so I think that no problems are eminent, but I would like to ask you ppl for some feedback regarding this weird issue.


    Thank you,
    Best Regards to all

    It sounds like something is making contact with the fan.Perhaps a loose wire.
