Gigabyte A16 Gaming Laptop
Ryzen 7 260
RTX 5050
16GB
Etc etc
Device makes strange popping/clicking sound which I have confirmed to not be fans.
I have taken off back and held each fan still to confirm they are not the cause (sound still continues when fans not moving).
I’m assuming it’s the liquid in the copper heat pipes boiling? As it becomes more prominent when under load.
Interestingly as well if I move/tilt the laptop it will stop or move to another area in the cooling.
Is this a known cause or have I completely got it wrong?
