Global ENHANCEMENT(S): - Improves thermal tables to minimize fan activity. Changes the F10 Setup utility "Fan Always On on AC" option to run the fan at 20 percent power instead of 40 percent power. (Recommended setting for this option is "Enable.") This slows down the fan Power-On and Power-Off to reduce fan noise during a rapid temperature increase. |
