Acer Predator Helios 300 Fan Noise Fixed with Grease 

Glad it helped. 😊

Bacon grease. Thank you

Glad it helped. I found some hair too in the fan grill intake. Just make sure regularly clean or vacuum the air vents. It helps a lot. I havent opened my laptop since for deep cleaning after my video. I just vacuum the vents once a week.

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

Glad it helped!

just be very careful not to dent or damage the fan blades.

Hope everything works fine.

Glad it helped.

Fantastic! Glad it worked.

Just peel it. Just make sure no dust will come in contact to it, so that you can use it again. But if ever it wont stick anymore, don't worry, it is just a Heat Resistant Tape. You can buy it anywhere like amazon for less than $10 for replacement. I just replaced mine since i kept experimenting with my laptop. it wont stick anymore. lol Just had no video of it.

Glad it helped.

yeah. you can. it has same circumference and slot But it is not recommended. i did it once however, it made an awful lot of noise. the metal blade is designed for the GPU to distribute the heat faster. I am trying different fans on this machine. but till now, no luck,

@@YESTOADVENTURES I just checked mine. PH315-53. The blades can't be swap since the gpu fan blade won't fit to CPU fan blade stator. Maybe you could trim off the GPU fan housing so that you could fit it inside the mounting for the cpu fan.Or you could also take out the PCB and stator inside the CPU fan housing and replace it with GPU fan. I'm not sure if it's possible to take out the pcb from the housing since the adhesive seems so strong. I ordered a set of gpu and cpu fan. I will see what i could do.

Right now. After about 6-7 months from greasing it, the fan started to make same annoying noise again. Cleaned it and greased again, noise is gone. I hope Acer will have a better fan design. I will definitely replace the fans if it becomes available.

Hi, did it work?

Glad it helped.

Both works. Applied on the GPU months ago, CPU now, both silent and working great

Just minimal force. Try to pull the edge little by little from both sides until it pops out. Or just wiggle it first to loosen it. Just remember never to pull the wires.

Yeah. If its still under warrantt, better bring it to experts. For me, its out of warranty, so i always do DYI.

Ouch. That really is bad. Sorry to hear that. You can buy the exact same fan in Amazon. Its about $20 cad. Before you install it, make sure to lube it first. Be extra careful in removing the blades though.

@@YESTOADVENTUREScan you share the link please

make sure to use electronic grease. others use WD40 but just use really minimal. just enough to lubricate the pin that makes it spin.

@@YESTOADVENTURES Hi. I finished clearing my fans 2 days ago. They were different than yours. I couldn't open inside of them so i just wash them and then dried. Would it be a problem that i didn't use grease? Because i couldn't open them.

After what i did till now, i did not open my laptop. I dont hear the annoying fan noise anymore. Its worth it.

Glad it helped.

@@YESTOADVENTURES My GPU temperature has decreased noteworthy and my FPs while gaming are now higher. It really helped a lot, thanks again.

Nothing is glued. All screws can be easily removed with proper tools. I never had a problem removing screws. By the way, what screws are you talking about? The fan screws or the laptop?

@@YESTOADVENTURES The laptop. I have no idea why they’re giving me so much trouble.

Hello. Thank you for visiting. Yes, metal blades when bent wont go back to its original form. It is so thin and a little bump or push will deform it. Unlike with the plastic blade, it is thicker and once bent it goes back without dedorming it.. But not to much, it will break. A deformed blade will cause unbalance and will make a sound. Hope that helps. 😊

@@YESTOADVENTURES Makes sense. Thanks!

I never use turbo by the way. Just regular speed from 1,200 to 1,800 rpm with regular usw like streaming, office load and surfing the web. But when im gaming or rendering videos, it goes up to 2,000 to 2,500 rpm.

one is plastic and the other fan is stainless steel. it will not rust.

oh.. did that problem happened after you opened your laptop? if yes, something might have short-circuited. Its best to have it check with a computer technician. If no, you can check your USB drivers if its updated or perhaps being deleted. Or try th recovery options.

High pitch? Something must be rubbing inside the fan magnets. Perhaps its just so dirty.

i have the same problem ph315-54, what did u do about it?

@@MohamedOsama246 hello! What i did is i opened the laptop and cleaned the fans there was a big chubk of dusk! Disgusting!! Then when i turned it in everything was fine

if its bent, you need it replaced. its quite cheap at amazon. Just about $15 cad.

Do u have the link for fan cpu triton 500 pt515 ?

Nice to hear to found a replacement. Yes, the fans are quite delicate. A little bend and it will be destroyed. Also, you cant use just any grease coz its magnetic and electronic. It wont work if it short circuited.

Did that as well before. Cleaning and brushing the dirt out does not work at all. Lubricating it is the only thing that worked. Even buying a brand new fan has the same sound after a weeks of use.

Tried this one but still my rpm is a little bit high 2k plus without opening app

Oh my.. sorry to hear that. Hopefully all will be well.

Just the smallest star screw. It does need that much force to open.

mine also

oh.. it does have a problem. not sure how to fix that. might be a software problem. Better have it checked with acer technician if it still has warranty.

@@YESTOADVENTURES Thanks

for this model its no normal. everyone who had same model had same fan noise problem. the fan designs are bad.

you dont need to remove the battery if you will only clean the fan.

why?

go to service center they will replace it free of cost.

Unless you live in a dusty area, its not. Mine started to this only on max speed after 1 year and 2 months of use.

@ZTr00p3r now is been almost 2 years and gpu fan stopped working 😭 Going to service centre this weekend

@@kanekiken-dd2lg dont worry about it, its really easy to replace the fans(this coming from a person who had 2 HP laptops which were a massive pain in the ass to clean or replace the fans.).

@ZTr00p3r bro how much would it cost Do you have any estimate?

anything that is electronic grease. make sure its not liquid. as long as it does not conduct electricity.

i dont think so. as long as it wont conduct electricity, that should be fine.

Yes you can. I washed it with soap ang water.

yeah. you can. just make sure you dont bend any blades.

yes. until now. so far, i never opened it back since i greased it. just regular vacuuming outside grills.

@@YESTOADVENTURES yeah, I tried it, a blower and some grease stopped the sound.

Thats about the price for replacement fan plus labor. But you can try to find a replacement on ebay then just DIY. That would be the cheapest way. Just make sure you dont mess it up. 😁

Hopefully it would fix your problem.

rattling sound is different. better replace it.

Not one of the best gaming laptop. It is really quite annoying if not fixed.

Yeah. You can but it wont stay long. WD40 evaporates after a while. Electronic Grease is much better since it stays for a very long time.

im not sure. I have not tried it with WD40.

how was it? did it work on you?

So far its working great till now.

Have u applied the grease on the pin also

Yeah. I thought so too. But after cleaning and lubricating, its worked really good without the annoying sound.

@@YESTOADVENTURES i replaced my fan only for 40$

never had any problem so far. its quiet till now. no complaints. using my laptop 6-10 hrs every single day. Haven't opened it since. just vacuuming the outside grills. So far so good.

@@YESTOADVENTURES is that so? thats good then, in my experience, the thermal grease WORKS but the white stuff builds up

@@ihatemilo what are your thoughts about using WD-40?

Sorry to hear that. Mine still works great.
