Noise from Gio@5

My Gio@5 is emitting a high-pitch whine.  It seems to go away when the console has been idle for a while and the screen fades.  When I press a button or move the mouse and the screen brightens again, the whine comes back.  It sounds like the whine is coming from the large vent on the back of the console. Is this a known thing?

  • The fan will run faster when Augment3d is running and using more graphical processing. On a Gio@5 the fan generally only runs when the console has determined it needs additional cooling so it is not uncommon to not see the fan running, but if it is making that whining sound and also not running, that would indicate a hardware issue and I would recommend you get in touch with your favorite ETC dealer for a repair of that console.
