How can I run my laptop in quiet mode?

[MYwang]

I just got my new Omnibook ultra flip intel lunar lake version and find out it never runs quiet. The fan starts ramping up speed at 40C, and reaches full blast at 65C, so it's always noisy even on lite work like 10% CPU suage. Is there any way to tune it down to quiet mode? I tried HP command center, it doesn't support quiet mode.

@MYwang, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Thanks for reaching out about your HP Omnibook Ultra Flip (Intel Lunar Lake) running noisily even under light workloads. Since you've already tried HP Command Center and found that it doesn't support Quiet Mode for your model, here are a few alternative steps you can try to reduce fan noise and improve thermal behavior:

Check BIOS for Fan Control Options

Some HP laptops allow basic thermal tuning via BIOS:

1. Restart your laptop and press Esc, then F10 to enter the BIOS setup.
2. Navigate to Advanced or System Configuration.
3. Look for settings like Fan Always On or Thermal Configuration.
4. If available, disable "Fan Always On" or select a Quiet/Passive cooling profile.
5. Save and exit.

Note: BIOS options vary by model. If you don’t see these options, your model may not support manual fan tuning via BIOS.

Use HP Support Assistant for Updates

Ensure your system firmware and drivers are up to date:

• Download or open HP Support Assistant.
• Go to Updates and install any available BIOS, thermal, or firmware updates.
• Restart your laptop after updates.

Power & Performance Settings in Windows

Adjust Windows settings to reduce CPU activity and heat:

1. Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery > Power Mode.
2. Set to Best Power Efficiency.
3. In Advanced Power Settings, reduce Maximum Processor State to 80–90% under "Processor Power Management".

Monitor Temperatures and Usage

Use tools like HWMonitor or Core Temp to check if background processes are causing heat. If CPU usage is high even at idle, consider:

• Disabling startup apps.
• Running a malware scan.
• Checking for Windows background indexing or updates.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.

I already have fan always on mode disabled in BIOS.

All driver and firmware are up to date in HP Support Assistant.

Windows power mode Maximum Processor State option only works with E-cores (limit E-core to 2GHz), P-core still boost to 4.8Ghz.

My main problem is, I have reasonable CPU load to have it running close to 40-50C range, however the fan kicks in hard as low as 40C and running mid to high speed to keep the CPU temp below 40C which is annoying. No other laptop model in the market does the same, fan should run 0 to nearly no speed in this range to keep it quiet.
