Hi, This problem was solved for me by upgrading the BIOS to A16 (check the Dell support site for a link). This BIOS update was released on 13/12/2013. The fan does not come on as much now and is much more quiet. I had to install Windows to apply the BIOS update but there is probably an easier wa

I also have this issue already a long time, i8kmon seems to fix it... partially Because the issue I now have is that the average temperature is around 65C! (which I find a little high, for testing ran it under windows and it stays a lot cooler) but really annoying thing is that the fan now kicks i

I8kutils are not ulitimate solution because of two reasons. First any launch of i8kfan or cat /proc/i8k cause whole system microfreeze, which makes system unworkable, second it seems that bios has it's own control over the fans so i8k would have to be fighting with that all the time. -- You recei
