OK, I did check out the BIOS/UEFI/Setup and all five fans can be configured individually. There are five options.I spoke to soon, there seems to be only one set of options for the CPU fan, so I guess the CPU_OPT and CPU_FAN are the same in terms of options. Anyway now I've set all 5 to "Silent" but the temperature is the same and to be honest I can't say it is any more silent than before ... is it?
You need to collect data.- The computer should be able to tell you temperatures and fan speeds, either via the OS or via Setup.
- If you have a microphone, you can use various Linux apps to make sound measurements.
- If you have a smart phone, you can install various apps to make sound measurements.
Changing settings and making measurements at idle is a starting point. You should also put the machine under load and make measurements.
