This is probably gonna feel like a weird and maybe inappropriate cut-in on my part (even though I've been active in some of your previous topics... This is... unrelated to all of it really)

Setting up the point, you have proven to be a gaming laptop enthusiast and your budget has been above mine lol :P but my (gaming) laptop has been fucking with me for some time now and I haven't been super vocal about it because I've done what I can to try and fix the issues I've been having (one of the fans gets super loud sometimes even though the temperature is not high, typically when the power cord is plugged in, but not always). I'm a self-diagnostic type, so I'm always looking to try every option solo before turning to anyone else, and many things I've tried have helped, but ultimately, the underlying issue is still present.

Tonight, I experienced something for the first time... Laptop got loud and annoying (it used to require a shutdown. Then I later realized it could chill the fuck out with some sleep time). This time, I changed some settings while it was still awake and the offending bullshit artist dickhead fan decided to shut up and quiet down again. I replicated this action multiple times since. I do think a fan repair/maintenance is necessary at some point, but the more I understand the issue, the less I worry, because ultimately, performance is not suffering, internal temps are not reaching danger zones, I'm not getting errors or issues. I think the problem is with the heat sensor for the one offending fan, and if keep heat properly monitored, I don't think it's at risk. I've modified settings to be lower than they could be. I have a good cooling stand.

Anyway, Apologies if this seems like any hijacking or taking away from your topic in any way. That was not my intention, and I only went here because I know you're a laptop enthusiast and know more than I do so this seems like a subject you'd be interested in :P so if anything, maybe laptop talk might provide a distraction? I dunno, but that's where my head was at when I decided to post about this here specifically.
