HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My (refurbished) HPZ840 with Windows 10 Pro works flawlessly, but the noise level is horrible (like a vacuum cleaner). I sounds like the fans are running at full speed, even if no significant work is done.

A post by Miloman a few years back described this same problem, and he 'fixed' it by removing the CMOS battery and resetting. I will of course try that solution, but why does it help at all? Or is there a fan-profile set in the BIOS that can wander away?
