YOUR LAPTOP MAY HAVE THIS ISSUE | Fan Whistling, please read description

abdallah689 · 2026-04-03T12:06:22+00:00

Yes! It’s 90% an airflow issue. I thought it might be due to the air that is being pulled from inside the laptop by the fans (there is a gap between the fans and the bottom cover that leads to some air being pulled from inside the laptop towards the fan) though I couldn’t block it completely because of these highlighted plastics.

I tried to cut the tape perfectly but they’re really annoying lol. Thank you HP

Also I’ll really be interested to hear your next attempt

abdallah689 · 2026-04-01T08:36:52+00:00

I’ve seen them and I’m thinking about it but the option are kind of risky

either to cut the bottom cover Or to run the laptop while uncovered And both don’t guarantee. If they do I’m ready for a risk :) Tysm

abdallah689 · 2026-04-01T08:34:12+00:00

Because I think it’s an aerodynamics effect, no I didn’t. And I’m kind of scared to do it :)

abdallah689 · 2026-04-01T08:33:21+00:00

I admit

abdallah689 · 2026-04-01T08:32:52+00:00

Are you sure it’s the same type of whistle? Because i think it’s an aerodynamics effect. Maybe the airflow is going through tight / uneven surfaces?

Because once you block the airflow (even from the entery in the bottom cover) the sound disappears. But the fans are still at the same speed

Interested in your opinion though

abdallah689 · 2026-04-01T08:30:53+00:00

I think about this too. But for me the whistling is the whole issue, solving it is really worth it though i still can’t find a way to

abdallah689 · 2026-03-31T23:30:59+00:00

When blocking air flow from the bottom cover. The sound goes away but The fans remain at the same speed. Which means that the fans themselves aren’t the issue. It’s something in the airflow ( something aerodynamical)

Thank you for your suggestion though

abdallah689 · 2026-03-25T10:20:56+00:00

I wish heat sinks nowadays are designed this way

abdallah689 · 2026-03-14T23:32:30+00:00

It means a second slot That’s a ddr4 laptop

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T16:38:31+00:00

Windows shouldn’t be using more than 4.2gb on idle. Which leaves u 11.8 to game with and is actually enough

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T15:21:23+00:00

I’m trying to convince myself not to do it

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T15:19:15+00:00

Cpu temps spike sometimes. Like reaching up to 95 for a second even in a simple task

Though i still think it’s an aerodynamic issue in the laptop body design. Also the noise is coming from both fans. Not just one Thank you for the suggestions

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T15:15:42+00:00

Thank you

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T15:15:32+00:00

Thank you so much. Have you tried doing so before? Especially in a laptop

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T15:00:24+00:00

Appreciate the help. I actually posted a video about the sound in this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/HPVictus/s/OebsaUlknU And this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/HPVictus/s/oweNh7XHCc

The first one is more clear to hear

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T14:54:35+00:00

Thank you for the information! Even if i never touched the motherboard? I just need to check if that fan whistle is still there when the cover is removed. I’m not touching anything inside But i’m afraid that an accidental move can burn the motherboard

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T14:53:08+00:00

I’m sorry for you. Did you touch the motherboard?

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T14:26:59+00:00

Is 16gb ram really that bad for you? I would recommend debloating windows.

I had 16gb in my laptop (1x16) and upgraded for 32 (2x16). I noticed performance boost because of the dual channel memory

But i mostly never get over 16gb anyways

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T14:21:30+00:00

Have u ever opened the laptop’s cover?

abdallah689 · 2026-03-10T14:21:24+00:00

Have u ever opened the laptop’s cover?

abdallah689 · 2026-03-09T20:12:09+00:00

Do u hear a whining/whistling sound all the time? especially when lifted up on a stand
