Gaming Notebooks

Product name: OMEN 17.3 inch Gaming Laptop PC 17-ck0000.

Issue: the manual control of the fan speed in OMEN Gaming Hub is ignored most of the times.

Description: since I would like to use my notebook also in situations where its CPU (or GPU) is not severely stressed, and I would like to "appreciate silence" in these situations, the automatic fan speed imposed by OMEN Gaming Hub (i.e., 2000 RPM, which is rather excessive for apparently no reason, even at temperatures ranging below 40 °C) is not suitable for me. Even though the MAX mode always works (giving the impression that the notebook is trying to take off), most of the times the Manual control is completely ignored for no apparent reason, both if I set it at low speed or high speed, and also if I controll it by means of the graph. A few times it worked - and I could not figured out under which conditions - but after some time it gets ignored again all of a sudden. When the manual control worked, it allowed the fan speed to drop to 1200 RPM, which is perfectly fine, and keeps the temperature of the CPU and GPU in the exact same range of the excessive automatic 2000 RPM, showing that such a high lower threshold cannot be imposed for any sensible reason, except for annoying users.
