It seems that the calibration for casual use is off. My old 2008 HP machine has an old Core 2 Duo chip rated at a huge 65W and yet in casual use the fan spins constantly and quietly at ~1000rpm and rarely ramps up at all. All temperatures fall back to their baseline after ~6 minutes but the fan keeps going for no obvious reason.Ĭonsidering this machine has a 4th generation i5 rated at only 15W I didn't expect the fan to be running half the time at a minimum of 3000rpm! Especially when the CPU is idling. Then the fan cuts in at 3000rpm and drones on for ~12 minutes. I can see by default the fan is completely off while temps rise over ~12 minutes.
I've used some software to track temps and the fan speed.
Most annoying aspect however is fan control and noise in casual use. I've had my E5440 for about 3 months and generally happy with it. Every other machine has a thread complaining about fan noise so I thought I'd create one for the E5440 too :emotion-1:
