Hello

Since a few days I'm working with my new Pavilion. After a complete Install the system runs fine. The only annoying thing is the fan-activity. Even when the Processor usage stays under 5 % (GPU under 2%) the fan is working often.

The fan isn't running at high speed, but already has a terrible sound at lowest speed. The air flows out of the housing in front of the lower edge of the screen. The noise is directed directly to the user in front of the notebook. Working (no heavy programs, only mails, simple Worddokuments driven by low integrated graphics) at late and quiet hours is painful and every stop of fan-activity for a few minutes is a relief.

What I did to avoid the fan-activity:

- Set the Powerplan-Slider to "more battery efficiency" (System cooling policy set to "passive" doesn't help)

- Notebook is placed on a Notebook stand. Absolutely free air intake, always cool Air around.

- Newest BIOS, Drivers installed

Has anyone exprience to optimize heat dissipation. Using a better thermal-paste, a modified heatsink or a more quiet fan of better quality?

I didn't think to face such problems. Even my ThinkPad worked without fan activity when the load was low.

I am grateful for any advice.
