When using my Acer Nitro 5 an515-54-5812 it sometimes makes a loud noise and I'm not sure where it is coming from or how to fix it.

Here is a link to the noise:

    That's the CPU/GPU fan noise, due to the blades heating up and disforming the blades and making them touch their casings making that noise. If your Nitro 5 AN515-54 laptop is still under warranty take your laptop to an Acer outlet and have them replace the fans, don't try to replace them yourself! If your AN515-54 laptop is not under warranty then either you disassemble the laptop or have a technician do it for you. That sort of a noise is the blades being distorted as the shafts of one of or both of these fans is bent, as this happens due to heat which damages especially their shafts and distorts them. Replace the appropriate fan(s) and also apply a high grade CPU/GPU paste using the "Pea Dot" method. Below is a list of all the appropriate Thermal Modules for the Nitro 5 AN515-54 or you can buy separate fans also and dissasemble these moules and replace them.
