7530 Fan Speed & Thermals - BROKEN
Dell Engineers, have you any thoughts about Fan Speed (constantly whirling) and actual thermals inside the 7530?
Below is a screenshot of the thermals of my laptop when it's doing almost nothing. The fans however, are spinning in 'medium' mode. If I jiggle with the Thermal Setting inside power manager I can sometimes get the fans to slow down, but not today! At the moment it's set to Optimised, but it I change it to Quiet, the fans actually spin up!
It would seem the fan controls are extremely manually and only change upwards...getting them to spin down (when the computing is under zero load) seems to involve me fiddling around with the Thermal Settings.
I would dearly like Dell to investigate this!
