Turn Down a CPU Fan When the HP Laptop Fan is Too Loud
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) fan on a HP laptop is used to stop the hard drive overheating when in use. This is good because it means you get more processing power in your HP laptop. Unfortunately, the noise of the HP CPU fans can sometimes make this seem a Pyrrhic victory. To turn down the noise of your CPU fan, you must set your HP laptop to "Maximum Power Savings" mode in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Instructions
1. Turn your HP laptop on. Press the "Escape" key when the HP logo appears on the screen. This will activate BIOS.
2. Use the cursor keys to move up and down the HP BIOS menu. Open the "Power" menu by pressing "Enter."
3. Select "Maximum Power Savings" from the options. This conserves the greatest amount of system power, meaning your laptop will have less cause to overheat, thus the CPU fan will not be activated.
