[SOLVED] Laptop squealing sound ?

[JSweet]

I have an MSI GS65 Stealth-Thin and about 2 days ago it started to make this high pitched sound when running high demanding games. It even will make it when loading something like a new tab in google sometimes, especially if I just tried to run a game or something. Here is a link to a video of the sound.

Everything runs fine, but as you can hear in the video it is basically unavoidable how loud and high pitched the sound is. From my research I assume it is coil whine, however I don't know how to locate where it is coming from along with any solutions to it. Any help is much appreciated <3

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The squeal you speak of seems to be the fan, which is what tends to ramp up when the laptop is taxed to cool the laptop's CPU and or GPU or either. You might want to disassemble the laptop and inspect the cooling assembly of said laptop for any dirt or debris. I'm presuming the fan needs replacing since that's what happens when a fan starts squealing and cleaning it out doesn't change it.

Thanks! I took it apart and it was indeed the GPU fan that needed replacement, hopefully should get a new one in 10 days!
