Hello! I recently started experiencing a slight coil whine on my laptop. I don't really know why it has started and needed some help figuring it out. So I came here!
My laptop is a Lenovo legion Y540 btw. I recently repasted my CPU and GPU since temps were getting out of hand. It didn't give much of an improvement so I'm not sure whether I shud check the spread of the repaste by removing the heatsink again. Maybe that could be answered by one of many experts on here. After putting everything back together pretty well, I started noticing a slight coil whine. Note I haven't touched anything but the heatsink which comes off using a couple of spring-loaded screws. What is the cause of this? Can it be fixed? Is it harmful to the system?
