Hello,

 

This is a small issue I've had for a while but that is now starting to bother me. When my laptop is in charge, it has a tendency to heat up a lot (even while running "light" programs like chrome), CPU heats up to 75°C when idle. Although this is not damaging, I would like to be able to manage the fan speed more precisely to reduce the computer's heat (especially given that one fans usually runs at 3000 RPM while the other sits at 200 RMP). 

 

I have read on many forums that fan speed management can be locked on certain laptops (I have tried using a bunch of programs like Omen gamin, MSI afterburner, FanSpeed etc, but none allow me to modify fan speed or choose a power setting to increase fan speed). I have tried updating the BIOS, but the configuration options are very limited and I can't find how to do something basic like changing the fan speed curve or allow programs to get control of the fan speeds. 

 

I am currently on the latest version of Windows 11, BIOS version is F.16, all my vents are cleared of dust and the computer runs perfectly even when it heats up. All drivers are up to date. I do not remember if I could change fan speeds before switching to Windows 11.

 

Thanks in advance.
