Venum Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hello everybody, I am the unfortunate owner of an Asus gl502vt and this laptop sometimes speed up the fan so much that I have received lots of complaints from my colleagues as I work in a quiet environment. I have tried everything and this happens no matter what OS I use, linux or windows work equally bad in this regard. I have looked everywhere, updated the bios to the last available version and changed so many linux distros but nothing worked so far. I suspect that the thermal policies are very restrictive and maybe I could change them if the bios was fully unlocked, I mean, 4200rpm with 40 degrees C is just nuts. I now that I am a complete stranger in this forum and I am here just for this particular issue since my interests are not too much related to computers by themselves, but if someone could give me a hand trying to figure out how to solve my issue...well, that would be awesome! I haven't got much to offer to your community, but if someone is into electronics I published an instructable to build an IR receiver that works with any infrared transmitter: http://www.instructables.com/id/ATtiny85-IR-USB-Receiver/ Btw, you can find my current bios in the link below: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/GL502VT/GL502VT-AS300.ZIP Thanks in advance Venum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod BIOS don't help in your case, because fun settings placed in EC firmware, no in BIOS. I can recommend you to try use NoteBook FanControl (NBFC) software.
