    So , I have a 6 months old Aero 14 and the laptop fan has started making weird clicking noises , only at some particular RPMS . The temperatures of both CPU and GPU are under control and the fan seems to freely rotate at max RPMS .

    Could it be a bearing issue ? If so , shouldnt it be persistent across all RPMS ?
    Is it natural for fans to make clicking noise due to faulty voltage supplied by the BIOS ?

    Also , I planned to open the back cover to check for dust or any wire getting hit by the fan blades but I am hesitant whether my warranty will be gone as there are two stickers stuck over screws at the back cover preventing me from opening it . Please help

    EDIT :
    A lot of Aero 14,15 owners seem to have this issue.
    1. The laptop fan model is A-Power BS5005HS-U2M
    2. I am unable to find it online the exact model
    3. Has anyone RMA'ed Gigabyte Laptop from India ?
    4. The fans seem to be moving up and down and when they are down one of it's blades seem to hit something or It can be a bearing issue .

    Any input on this will be of much help , This is my daily driver and I can't afford to lose it for RMA for 3 weeks :(
