My sister owns a HP G42-388TX and had the GPU chipset replaced due to some error on displaying on screen. After the replacement, she realised that the fan has also been swapped out and the fan seems to run at high speeds at all time and she can't control the speed whatsoever. They say it will improve the cooling system but I say it's bullshit because the CPU temp reached 78 degrees celsius. I had the same laptop with the default fan installed and I had no cooling problems at all. It runs at 40 degrees celsius.
Then that's when I realised that the amount of air coming out of the fan grill in her laptop is far less than mine although her laptop air intake is much greater that mine. I believe that the third-party fan isn't designed properly for the size of the fan grill in the vents. What do you guys think of my theory?
