Question Asus ROG STRIX G15 buzzing sound from GPU fan

[RasmusHenriksen]

I experience this buzzing sound from my GPU on Asus ROG STRIX G15, but is it normal or do I want to make an RMA?
I just bought it yesterday and the noise has been there from the beginning.

I have tried running the GPU fan without the CPU fan and therefore know that it's the GPU.
The entire time the fan is running it's making this sound. I can see that it's mostly running at around 2400 RPM.

See the video below. It is especially noticeable in the end of the video when the fan stops.

The noise stops once giving the laptop a 0.5 mm nudge from the table and upwards in left side.

Note: Some might have seen this post before, but I am posting it again with a more relevant title and in the proper category.

Configuration: Ryzen 9 5900HX / RTX 3070

Could just be a bad fan, that is wobbly and / or maybe grinding on something.


If you are comfortable enough in laptops, you could try and open it up, and see if anything is noticeable wrong.

For everyone's information, I shipped it with an RMA case to ASUS, and they replaced the GPU and CPU fans - now I have no fan noise at all: much more smooth.
