Internal Cooling Fan Set (Left and Right)
The loud noise in this model is typically caused by the failure of the fluid dynamic bearings within the ultra-thin fan housing. As the bearing degrades, the impeller loses its axial alignment, leading to rattling or grinding against the shroud. Replacing the individual fans restores silent operation without requiring a full motherboard or heatsink replacement.

High-Performance Thermal Paste
Spectre x360 units often experience dried thermal interface material (TIM) which causes the CPU/GPU to run hot. This forces the fans to stay at 100% duty cycle, which is perceived as 'loud' even if the bearings are healthy. Re-pasting the heat sink is a mandatory secondary step when opening the chassis to resolve noise issues.

Laptop CPU/GPU Heatsink Assembly
In cases where the heat pipes have lost their vacuum seal (depressurization), the fans will remain at max speed regardless of fan health or paste quality. If replacing the fans and paste does not reduce the noise floor, the thermal transfer efficiency of the copper pipes has failed, necessitating a full assembly replacement.
