While running a game, rendering a video, etc. When fans are required to be working, only the right one is releasing and ventilating which gets me to ask, is this normal for this model?
16" 2019 - 2.3GHz 8-core Intel Core i9 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB | (plenty of free storage space)
I've even downloaded a app where it shows you the usage/specs of the fans just out of curiosity, here's a screenshot.
MacBook Pro 16″, 10.15
Under load, I would expect BOTH fans to be spinning at less than maximum speeds.
MacBook Pro Fans have an RPM sensor in them. Run the diagnostic. Part way through, it spins up the fans (you will hear it) and measures the resulting speed.
If it fails the diagnostic and throws an Error code, it is not working properly and needs service.

I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) It would only use both fans if it was necessary? as in- there's no need for the laptop to activate and consume power for the left one if the right one can handle everything just fine?
