Hello

 

The fan runs intermittently even when the system is idle (1% CPU).

It is very distracting if the fan pauses for a short time (some seconds) only and runs with quite a high speed - with no obvious reason - for some other seconds!

 

It's a brand new laptop. Drivers are up to date.

The CPU temperature where the fan starts seems to be around 43°C, as can be seen in Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line:

C:\windows\system32>wmic /NAMESPACE:\\root\HP\InstrumentedBIOS path HPBIOS_BIOSNumericSensor get Name, CurrentReading
CurrentReading  Name
2119            CPU Fan
2048            GPU Fan
43              CPU Temperature
25              Discrete Graphics Temperature
42              Remote Temperature
40              Local Temperature
30              Battery Temperature

 

Why is the GPU fan running as well despite the very low GPU temperature?

Is there any possibility to let the system manage the fans less noisy?

 

It would be more comfortable to have a much lower but more constant fan speed!

 

Regards
