Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

my laptop come with one pair of cooling fans which mean there's 2 fan and one of them seems to be stiff and hard to spin,and currently its quite long to wait for the fan model to reach me.....can i just use one fan rather than two ? cause my theory is all the lagging during game come from excessive power usage to that one piece of fan..........i do have external cooler

can someone answer me if i can just remove that faulty fan and use one piece of fan for a while ?

Each fan is controlled by a heat sensor for that area. One area is cooler therefore its fan spins slower.

 

Hope this makes sense.

no its not cause i already tested the fan physically by opening the back cover....the right fan spin smoothly when i rotate it with my finger and the left one hardly spin and stiff with the same amount of force........other computer shop says that to me too until i ask them to listen to the sound of the fan themselves and finally they acknowledge the issue of the faulty fan...i already bought another cooling fan part and waiting for it to arrive...issue solved i guess

anyway thanks for the kind response
