Concept D CN315-72P-71KZ Fan noise

garyburns1985

Howdy folks, I have googled this to death and on here there does not seem to be any answer.

Bought a Concept D CN315-72P-71KZ back in Nov 2021.

From when I first turned on this laptop the the fan noise has been incredible. Even when almost sitting idle it's like the missus has come into the room to hoover. I have recently connected a large monitor and working with CAD, which ramps this up to unbelievable levels. I have had countless laptops and desktops in the past but never experienced this before. I know I should have had this back to Acer sooner but i didn't and as this is a business laptop it's difficult for me to send back to Acer right now as I need it.. I have begun the process of getting everything on OneDrive but obviously will take me a moment.

Another issue (may be unrelated) that I find is that when the battery is fully charged, switch off the machine, disconnect the power then try to turn on the machine, it will not start up unless i hold the power button for 30+ seconds or I plug it back in then press power button, it turns on immediately, this is also not normal. Not sure if this is related.

In the meantime, can anyone suggest any fixes for this to try?

Cheers

Gary

This is part of the normal BIOS routine to temporarily apply maximum power to the fans on startup to avoid a stalled rotor from stiction or static friction. Sort of like overcoming frictional inertia to get the rotor moving from a dead stop.

After a few moments --- but before Windows fully loads all the startup apps and drivers (eg, mainly before login) --- the power should then automatically reduce to comfortable noise levels.

If however after logging a lot of unnecessary Windows startup apps are being loaded and running in the background, then the processors start to heat up. The power is then once again applied to the fans to keep the temperatures down.

If it was mine, I'd check Task Manager startup tab to see what apps are being loaded. And if I really needed them to be running in the background all the time. Especially apps like 3rd party scanners which can really heat things up when browsing on line. Mi cro s oft defender and malicious software removal tool are all most folks need these days
