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.
