Laptop's fan running full speed at idle

[Moonzy]

my laptop was recently sent in to be fixed (bios chip wrecked for the 2nd time), after i got it back my cooling fan ran at full speed even when the temps were fine and idling at desktop

i hope i can fix it or else i have to send it in again

you should check a program to control the speed of your fans (if the mobo alows it), I think speedfan does it.

Check the BIOS for ways to control the fan - perhaps through different profiles.

Step 4

Click the "Speeds" tab and then select the appropriate sensor. Click the up- or down-arrow button next to "Minimum Value" to set the minimum speed at which you want the fan to operate.

my "speeds" tab is empty lol

Windows can do that.

Go to your power options panel, click on "change options" for the profile you've selected, then click the "aditional power setting", then scroll down on the window that pops up to an option that says something among the lines of "iconomy of the power of the processor" and change the option for minimum activity of the processor to 5%

did that, and i found out about why my fan is being a jet engine already

[Moonzy]

ok, so i contacted the person who was in charge of fixing my laptop

"you complained your laptop was overheating so we tweaked your fan to run at full speed all the time"

apparently he thinks i like airplanes very much

needless to say, ill be sending my laptop in and get him to revert it

[DarkRuskov]

This seems stupid >< if it is overheating it probably wasn't before so turning up the fans isn't the right solution x)

If it's still overheating after you get it back, check the thermal compound if possible.

thats what made me broke the bios chip in the first place, ironically...

but you were right, there werent any thermal compound and the sticker that was suppose to insulate my processor's capacitor is covering part of the die (no IHS)

well after re-applying the thermal paste myself and got it back, it still thermal throttles but not as bad...

 

seriously tho... i expected better from Asus
