Acer Swift 3 SF314-51 noisy fan

Hello!

Anyone else has a Swift 3 that has suddenly started to use the fan much more than before? I've had this laptop for 2 years now (warranty is 2 years) and before there wasn't any issue with fan noise, but now it has started to annoy me. I use the laptop for light web browsing, school work and programming simple scripts. It shouldn't take a toll on the laptop itself. Is there a easy way to fix/replace the fan on my laptop? Can I order the parts from Acer for example?

I opened the back case of my laptop and didn't notice any dust in there. Used compressed air to clean it up. No improvement. Has anyone had the same issue outside of warranty?

Good afternoon HipsterKangaroo !

It is perfectly normal for fans to achieve great rotation when equipment is working so as to perform better.
Especially when it is too hot or plugged in the power outlet, since High Performance is set, if it is set, it will be activated.

What really can not happen is for the fan to start emitting non-standard sounds as if it were picking up.
