Asus Zenbook UX430UQ fan noise: issue?

[GoofyBiscuit]

I recently bought an Asus Zenbook UX430UQ, and have noticed that at even just idle, the fan seems to sound like I am heavily tasking the CPU. In reality, I am only running one application (Google Chrome, 1 tab) and CPU usage (according to Task Manager) is at 2%. Is there a problem with the laptop or is it just how it runs?

i have a UX430UA, and can confirm that the fan is really loud in idle.

I had two of them, and had the same issue with both. That's just how they run.

 

Download a program called Notebook FanControl and set the profile to the Zenbook 360 (or something like that) and the fan should behave normally.

 

Also, if you haven't yet, update the BIOS to the latest version. It helped quiet the fan (though it still turned on) in my case.

Alright, thanks for the help!
