Dell G7 fan noise.

Thank you for your message. Sorry to know that you have issues with a new system.

Is the fan noise too loud only when gaming? Is there any noise when you are just browsing?

Please restart the computer & tap F2 to get into BIOS & check the version of BIOS installed & also check if the fan noise issue persists.

Run a hardware diagnostics by following the video on this link http://bit.ly/2fJuGXB  & check if there is an error.

1. Just got a new Dell G7 and im also having this problem, it sounds like the fan is hitting something and its only on the left side, when i removed the bottom to add an HDD i touched the fan and it felt like it was touching the sides of it.

I will be glad to look into this for you.

Is the system heating up by any chance?  Please run a hardware diagnostic by following the video on this link http://bit.ly/2fJuGXB & check if there is an error

What is a Dell Service Tag and how do I locate it?

I've had the same problem since day 1 on my Dell G7 with a loud fan.  Same as you described with the noise coming from the left side.  I use an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, so how I eliminated the noise completely, was by standing my laptop on edge with the lid closed.  I lean the laptop almost completely vertical so the hinge side is up and base of the laptop is resting against the wall.  In this orientation I have zero fan noise, ever. It goes completely away and never comes back. When I lay the laptop down normally, it quickly starts making the fan noise from the left side.  I am curious if you found a permanent fix, or a band-aid like myself.  Dell wanted me to send the laptop in under warranty, but with all the nightmare stories I've read about their repair service I will not send my laptop in.

I got a Dell G7 with i7 processor. I also have the same problem here since day 1. The fan on the right side (or left side, if you flip it over) sounds like it is hitting something or some parts is lose. I know that the fan would be noisy when it is at full speed but the noise would be smoother? But when the fan is  running at a certain rpm or speed, that's the time I hear the strange noise coming out from the fan. If I lean it a certain degree the noise would vanish and sounds like its running smoothly.

I think this is more of a hardware problem than a software problem. My friend also have a Dell G7 with i5 processor but it has no problems with fan sounding strange.

Hello,
 I have a new Dell G7 series 15 7588.

But am facing a set of problems with the model,
The problems are

1) Audio is heard only through its in built speaker even though headphones are connected in its jack
2) The In built fan runs at high speed and hot air is blown out through vent even when device is at standby or low usage


So, how can I fix the above problems or let me know where should I be contacting for any other dell services further if needed 

Thank you for your message. I will be glad to assist you on this.

Do you get any pop-up message when you connect the headphone?  Do you have Waves MaxxAudio pro installed?  If yes click on the application – Click on the playback tab – Advanced, make sure that the show popup dialog when a device is connected.

What is the BIOS version installed? Please check if the disc usage is high.

Ya, thanks It helped!

Just make sure MaxxAudioPro is enabled at startup (if it isn't, go to taskmgr.exe and go to Startup, and enable it). That fixed it for me, as I had the same exact problem before.

The fans should go to 100% while gaming. It is necessary to maintain performance and cooling.

folks I had noticed the same thing on my son's g7. the fans were going full blast all the time it seemed. Turns out the cpu clock speed was running at 3.900 GHz. but, the max clock for the chip said 2.200 GHz..so, what gives right? this is an Intel Turbo Boost feature that can run the clock speed higher for extra performance. I went in the BIOS and DISABLED the Intel Turbo Boost, and bam, like magic the G7 fans are nice & quiet now, and if you look at the clock speed in the BIOS after making the change, the Clock speed now shows running at 2.200 GHz (instead of 3.900 GHz). Problem solved here.

ridiculous noise....

For those people that are still experiencing fan noise, try disabling some of the startup programs in task manager. Limited some of the programs in your startup might help the fans to run slower due to lesser load on processor (CPU). Please expand Limit Startup Programs for additional information in link below.
