    So i'm loving my rig, I play everything i want on High/Ultra with safe Oc levels and to be expected my Laptop sounds like its going to take Off but i game with headphones so whatever, But sometimes when i'm on balanced and on battery the fan kicks in and i can hear something spinning inside my laptop ( rather 3 clicks) then the fan kicks in. I dont know if the temperatures in my parent's house have anything to do with it (Its considerably warmer than on my aparment) Just want some insight cause when in class/ my apartment i rarely hear the fan while on battery.

    I was having the same issue, 3 clicks and then the fan would start running, after updating my bios to A05 it went away.
