XPS 9370 Fan Noise

Same problem here, when I connect the power supply after a few minutes the fans start spinning very fast 😞  Any solution?

1- Download the Dell Power Management app and set the thermal option to quiet.

2- Set the power mode to "recommended" instead of "better performance"

This should help, but you'll have to live with a lower CPU performance. Then why spend that much money on the latest Intel chip if you can't really use it at full speed.

OK, it work also with thermal managment set to "optimized".

It is very puzzling that heat management is excellent on Linux, whereas on Windows one has to limit the CPU to get acceptable results...

Your tech support already tried that and more, but it didn't help! I sent the computer to tech support and it came back the same! This is a bad joke! for a 2k computer. This is the 1st time I see an issue like this in a laptop!

Hi Alan,

My 9370 has the same fan noise. The fan is making the rattling noise no matter whether the ac adaptor is plugged in or not, and it happens at both low and high speed. For your information, I've updated all drivers to the latest version including BIOS, but it doesn't resolve the issue.
