Hello everyone.
My laptop is an HP Pavilion DV6-6C65EL with Win 10 and, if there was something I could not stand about this PC, it was the noise of the fan. I'm gonna explain it...
I use it mainly for watching videos on YT, movies on Netflix or, especially in this period, using Microsoft Teams. However, the fan was starting to be quite noisy, which was quite annoying as well, even at startup, without even opening anything, and I also noticed that the left side of the laptop overheated easily.
Initially I tried to clean the fans with compressed air: nothing!
Then I tried to fiddle with the voice "maximum processor state" in the “Power Options” and I must say that something has changed ...
In particular, I did several tests with a video on YT at 1080p 60fps (not full screen) and I noticed this:
- on battery / plugged in <75%
----> CPU frequency: 1795.42Mhz (99.75 * 18.0)
----> CPU power: + - 13W
----> Core # 0: + - 68 ° C
----> Core # 1: + - 70 ° C
- on battery / plugged in from 79% to 98%
----> CPU frequency: 1994.92Mhz (99.75 * 20.0)
----> CPU power: + - 15W
----> Core # 0: + - 70 ° C
----> Core # 1: + - 75 ° C
- on battery / plugged in 99% and 100%
----> CPU frequency: 2892.63Mhz (99.75 * 29.0)
----> CPU power: + - 25W
----> Core # 0: + - 85 ° C
----> Core # 1: + - 90 ° C
So I set the maximum processor state to 79% and it seems that the fan has never reached its max speed like before so far.
Basically, what I'd like to ask you is:
1) Since the results seem to be the same, what kind of difference would there be between setting the value at 79% or 98%?
2) Anyway, what would you advise me to do? Is the value I set fine? Should I do anything else to reduce the noise and overheating of my pc?
Thanks a lot to everyone in advance!
