I was in a situation where when I would scroll or navigate through Google Drive, there would be a slowdown while a fan that had been silent revved up. It would also keep me awake at night.
So today I researched it and ended up taking all my fans off of "smart fan" in the bios and just setting them all at 100% all the time.
Goodbye slowdown. I can flip around through apps and web pages without that delay that drove me up the wall.
But now, even though I have all SSD, I have not realized the dream of a quiet PC.
Is there a way to have the best of both worlds or am I now stuck with this constant loud purring because I want responsive web pages and apps, etc?
Laptop or desktop? Replacing the fans with quieter fans would be an option, as well as keeping the system in a cooler location so you don't need active cooling. The expectation that an SSD is going to be all you need for a passively cooled system is a bit unrealistic . . . – ernie – 2015-03-17T00:25:23.203
What does your SSD have to do with this problem? – Ramhound – 2015-03-17T00:27:40.440
@ernie, desktop. I have no problem with active cooling. – toddmo – 2015-03-17T01:04:47.073
@Ramhound, nothing. They are part of the ultimate goal of having a quiet PC. "Even tho I have all SSDs", meaning, even tho my SSDs are not making any noise. – toddmo – 2015-03-17T01:06:51.353
