Hi guys. I am worried about the clicking sound after I play games and turn off the laptop. I don't have a hard drive, so that's not the problem. It's also not a coil whine. Can the case make clicking sounds?🤔 This happens after the laptop is turned off and is similar to the sound of plastic clicking as it warms up and cools down.

    Hi @Andrew_Sn This type of sound can be caused by the different materials of the laptop that have experienced high temperatures and that when they cool down they regain their volume, the heat dilates them, this usually happens especially with plastics and aluminum.

    Yes, most laptops of any brand are.

    The process that I have told you about is normal and should not worry you, it also happens with cars.

    Then this is the cause of my problem. Acer Nitro 5 is completely plastic.
