Product: OMEN by HP - 17-an174nz

Hello guys

 

I noticed when playing league of legends, CS:GO or similar low spec games, that my left fan is running noticeably louder, with a very strong airflow coming out of the left backside vent-exhaust(?), while the right fan is a lot more silent, and almost no airflow coming out of the right side vent-exhaust.

 

The device is 2 weeks old and was bought new, so I don't think dust inside is to blame.

 

Is this common, normal behaviour a.k.a I'm just over-analyzing this ?

 

thanks in advance.

That is very normal for that model.

 

It is hard to remember which is which  but one is for the CPU and one is for the GPU.

The Heatsinks cross and the picture is upside down so it is hard to tell which is which.

 

I wish there was a BIOS setup to control the fans.
