It is normal for the fan to spin at full-throttle and generates noise louder than normal while the laptop is under heavy load like, during the initial WINDOWS setup and WINDOWS Update installation. Also, the fan noise will be louder while antivirus software or malware are running continuously in the background. Please make sure the system was not compromised by viruses or malware by doing a full system scan using an internet security software or application. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle and noise will be louder than normal. It does decreases or normalizes once utilization goes down. The laptop comes with a year warranty from ASUS. If you think this is a hardware related issue, you can still send it to ASUS for an out of warranty service, a service charge will incur.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
