I bought a fresh new Asus ROG GL503VD with Intel i7-7700HD, GeForce GTX 1050 and 16BG of RAM. The display has 60 Mhz refresh rate. It came with Windows 10 and all new updates are installed. Registries, cache and other slow-down garbage are cleaned regularly. Energy management is put on "balanced".
***I use BitDefender Total Security antivirus and it always performed very well (and light).
So, as you see, it's a really powerful machine, especially for everyday use like browsing etc.
But, I have problems with my fans. This laptop has 2 fans, one for CPU and one for GPU. They are working simultaneously 99,9% of the time. Maybe sometimes, one of them ramps up just a little bit before the other.
THE CASE IS: they are ramping up for 10-15 seconds and then they ramp down on every single task that I perform! For example, when I open a browser. Then, when I open some light text editor or any Microsoft Office program. Also, when I open some kind of programs like antivirus or FTP client etc.
Let's say it's bearable if it happens only when launching a new program, BUT in my case, it's happening while I'm multitasking in my browser (any browser). So, when I open a new tab and perform a search, the fans ramp up immediately (their speed goes from 1500 RPM to 3000 RPM and backward after cca. 15 seconds). It's also happening without a trigger while I'm on Facebook (which is a little bit more demanding process than surfing the random website)
That is just annoying and distracting!
It's a little bit better when the laptop is on battery mode. Maybe because it lowers the power... But, it still happens.
I checked the temperature of the CPU/GPU and it's alright. Almost always around 40-50 C. Also, the system isn't overloaded while doing all that work (I checked the Task Manager in Windows), so it would need additional cooling. It's using less than 5% of CPU resources and about 40% of RAM almost all the time.
I noticed something weird - when I load the system with extra work (let's say I open two browsers, a lot of tabs, music player, and 2 programs), the fans are working much more consistently at cca. 2500 RPM and without ramping up on every new task! They ramp up here and there, but not too often like I described before.
Also, I noticed that they aren't ramping up too often when I launch Windows Task Manager or Asus ROG Gaming Center and monitor system processes in real time (also weird!?).
PLEASE HELP, I was exploring the web to find the solution, but nothing serious so far. I saw the best answers here on Tom's Guide, so I hope someone can push me in the right direction!
