Fan running with very low load Win10 ASUS N501VW
ASUS N501VW
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134
Constant sound of fan spinning. I think it is fan spinning, a 2-3 sounds per second, a faint rubbing sound. Using SSD only so this is not HDD rubbing.
I've been using this laptop for 18 months and though this is not a new sound, the constantly running is new.
Is something mechanically wrong? Fixable through configuration?
Memory (16GB installed) and CPU usage very low.
Below are some snips from the output of OpenHardwareMonitor.
