Razer blade 15 2018 right fan grinding noise
I have had this laptop for about two month's now and everything about it is amazing, all of sudden the right fan is making a grinding noise Any ideas of what that could be? Could it be a bad fan?

Is it continuously or only on Fans kick in and when slow down?
If continuously check the Fans areas if there’s something stuck, or somehow it hits the bottom lids like maybe the glue melted due heat which is a bit strange since I didn’t see yet on Blade unit including my 14 months Blade 15. If only on Fans kicking on and off, it’s the fans type (pwm) characteristic, most thin light gaming laptops using this apparently.

It's only when the fans kick in and no matter what speed they are going the sound is still there.

Yes it’s pwm Fans, on start and slow down it will make rattle sound, it doesn’t run continuously right? Alienware, MSI laptops use also this Fans type nowaday.
It runs continuously whether im gaming or just surfing the web. Its louder when I play a game. The left fan doesn't do this at all.

I see, I’ll change the tag to support then to let staff seeing this, meanwhile did you try check the Fans area by opening the bottom lid? If it is bad fan probably you should send it for repair.
how do you test to see if it is a bad fan? Thanks for changing this to support.
I also opened it up and the fan was clean and it was not loose

Hey @Hissingpainter4! Thanks for moving the post to our support thread, @Joikansai. Please send me a PM together with a video of the fan noise. Ensure to place your mobile device or camera recorder near the source of the noise is so we can hear it clearly. Let's continue from there.
