Hey all,
I have a HP Pavilion x360 laptop. Whenever I run Windows anything, the fan is loud as f***. But when I run Linux there is no noise from my fan. Why is this?

Maybe check which power plan you are on, in Control Panel?
If your power plan is on ultra, kill-all, take no prisoners... that might be why your fans are loud, on Windows but not on Linux.

Even on a huge desktop with 9 fans, I only run on "Balanced".

The only thing left, really... is some background process in Windows.

Maybe look in Task Manager and see what's running your CPU or GPU so hard.

Windows defaults. I recall I undervolted and overclocked an old laptop once, I managed to get it from 1.9GHz to 2.0GHz and to lower it's temperature from 100C to 70C. IT expert complained and fixed my tweaks, the laptop died a month later. :lmao:

Noise at idle or under load ?
