Hi, I have the following problem / question
My laptop fan often gets really loud, but then gets quiet again and that repeats itself over and over again.
Is that normal or should it be constantly loud?
This comes from the fan not set (fan curve) this can be set in the BIOS of the respective device. I immediately send a link to a video
OK thanks
Ideally, it should only rev up if you are also using an application or game to load the laptop.
It is of course possible that if you do nothing, Windows starts to start background activities such as preloading updates or scanning your hard drive for malware. The virus scanner also does this if you have one installed.
You can track it in the task manager - but if there's really no activity, pollution could of course also be a problem, which means that heat can't be optimally dissipated, which means it keeps building up.
Here the solution via external software
Here about the BIOS, which turns up the fan from the factory every now and then is normal, you don't have to worry
This is also possible, but it can also be due to the fan curve that has not been set
Yeah, sure, you can optimize. But I always say in case of doubt you can rely on a bios that already regulates. If the temperature sensor is dirty, the curve is of no use to you. If this is a new device now and it has always been like that, then you should definitely take a look. But as a "layman" you can also rely on the automatic.
I can now choose between, for example, the Sylent mode and others. Which one is best?
It is best if you create your own fan curve.
With silent the processor clocks down a bit, with a correctly set fan curve this shouldn't happen.
