Beside this problem with the fans, they also have “coil whine” noise. I though their notebooks would offer the same quality, but they don’t. I used to assembly computers in the 90’s, and ASUS motherboards was the best ones in that time. But there was some problems:Ģ) I use this notebook for work, so no way to stay weeks (months?) waiting for it come backģ) I read several posts from people with the same problem, which have sent their notebooks to RMA one, two and even three times, and they didn’t solve the problem. Just a note: ASUS support was of no help at all! Since my notebook is still under warranty, they asked me to send it to RMA. Just release a bunch of bolts to have access to the battery and fan cables.

Opening the notebook is really an easy task. Four days had passed and the problem didn’t show up anymore! What a relief!įor those who are having the same problem, you can search in youtube for GL503 tear-down videos. I also blew some air to clean the fans, but they were really clean (those fans are supposed to be dust free, and seems that they really are).įor my surprise, this procedure seems to have solved the problem. Even so, I disconnected the battery and the fan cables, and reconnected a few minutes later. I decided to try it, before I get crazy with the strong noise coming from the “turbine”, every day.īefore disconnecting the cables, I carefully checked if there was some bad contact or even a disconnection. Note that the CPU temperature usually was < 40C, and the GPU was not even being used! So, there was no reason for the fan to became a turbine, bothering everyone near to me.įinally, some “good soul” posted in a ROG forum’s thread in the ROG saying that he solved the problem just opening the notebook, disconnecting the battery and fan cables, and connecting everything back. Nothing solved the problem, and even worse, I could not figure out why it was happening, and what was triggering it. I tried to update and to drowngrade de BIOS, I tried to use fan control softwares, I tried to trick the ROG Gaming Center, I tried MSI Afterburner, I tried Intel XTU utilities, I update all the drivers and Windows 10 itself.

I checked the internet forums, and found several reports from people having the same problem.
