Before I bought my S7 i knew there were a few complaints about the fan noise but I didnt mind so I bought it anyway. For four months I had no problems with the fan. It would get a little loud if you played games or something but it is an ultrabook so I was fine with that. About two months ago the fan noise became excessive. The amount of noise generated by the fans was so loud that playing a song on max through the computers speakers was not even enough to drown out the noise. It only seemed to happen when playing light games like minecraft so I decided to stop. Then the noise started to occur all the time. The fan is now always audible no matter what is going on. The noise isn't never got as loud as it did that one time but it was still pretty annoying. I put up with it for about a month but then a new fan problem arouse. The fan started to making a horrific grinding noise. The fan on the left side of the computer when you are lookng at the screen (I believe that is the intake fan) constantlly makes a grinding noise. For no reason the grinding noise will occasionally get so loud that I have to shut the computer down. I really love this laptop but the noise has made it unbearable to use. My laptop is out of warranty according to acer so I could not get in direct contact with them. So I was wondering if anyone else has expirence this issue and/or what can be done to fix it. If i have to send it to acer what would the repair costs be? Thanks in advance for the help.
