Slight vibration on Acer Helios 300 2019

Hi i recently (about 2 weeks got) an Acer predator laptop (Acer Predator 300 2019, I7, RTX 2060).

The fans are loud but i hear it's a normal thing on this model. However i can feel a very quick and slight vibration when i have my hand on the laptop. To give you an idea how slight it is, it doesnt make any noise and i can't get a object to bounce on the laptop because of it even when holding it up trying to allow it to.
The thermals look ok : 42° system when looking at videos and usually at 83° (to 89° at max) when playing games on fans set to auto.

So my question is not if the fans are working as the thermals are ok (or so it seems I think), but rather if this very slight vibration normal or if i should open the back to replace the fans or even get it checked up by someone that reallly know what he's doing.

Thanks

noqqen have you already optimized your windows and undervolted with TS and 89 its a bit too high you shouldnt be getting over 75/80'ish cpu and 70/75'ish gpu check here for more info on undervolting and on my signature you can find the link to the youtube channel with videos on how to optimize windows and much more

Do you feel the vibration when your PC is not connected to AC outlet?

Nope when I unplug it the fans run slowly. I realize saying it's a vibration is a bit of an overkill it's just that i can say that the fans are running by touching the pad. They also make a high pitched noise but that's probably just the voltage that i should lower (But idk how ?)

I'll undervolt the cpu but the thing is that even on idle at 40° i can feel that the fans are running.

Should you not be able to feel when the fans are running by touching the laptop ?

I can feel it only when I concentrate my attention towards it. Other time, improper grounding leads to minor shocks or "vibration" from the silver lining on my G3-572.

Ok i'll just get it to an IT store to see if the fans are just misplaced or something thanks it doesnt seem like its a big issue but i was just concerned that the vibrations would damage the components on a long term basis but it's not urgent

Hi @noqqen, could you solve the issue? Because I am having the same problem and I can’t find an answer anywhere!!

Hi Im also hearing a very slight vibration from the GPU fan of my predator helios 300 device RTX 2060 which is nearly 2 months old. While tilting the device at some point it is stopping . I am really worried about the issue. Somebody know how to resolve this ? Or what actually is the cause to this issue?
