These settings help minimize fan noise while keeping the system properly cooled in a normal working environment. Preset values are for a normal desktop working environment. The table shows an example of the temperature and duty cycle settings for preset configurations: Option This parameter specifies the minimum duty cycle that outputs to the fan.įan speed increases by this percentage for each degree over the minimum temperature. The value is calculated by Tcontrol minus a fixed value. Quiet: A preset configuration that is set to keep the overall system quieter, but slightly warmer.įanless: Hides all fan control-related setup options.įan speed increases if the processor temperature exceeds this value. Each value can be user-configured.Ĭool: A preset configuration that keeps the overall system cooler, but slightly louder.īalanced: A preset configuration that is set to keep the overall system balanced between cool and quiet. Options are from 20 to 100 percent in 10 percent increments.Ĭustom: Allows the fan speed to be customized based on processor temperature, minimum duty cycle, and duty cycle increment (see Other Fan Control Settings, below). Optionįixed: Allows the fan speed to be set at a fixed speed and never change. See the table below for fan control definitions. Available settings can vary, depending on Intel NUC model. System fan control settings in BIOS can be changed to meet the needs of your system usage model. Press F2 during start to enter BIOS Setup.Follow these steps to view or change system fan control settings: YouTube is loaded with tips on how to make homemade anti-static wristbands.This document covers cooling and fan control options in BIOS Setup for Intel® NUC products. I take the graphic card totally apart and really get in there carefully. I do this to my laptop and desktop computer every 3 to four months. A lot of dust balls in there can cause it to short. Sometimes it also helps to change the paste since a lot of the times the old paste tends to completely dry up and crack into powder.Ī couple of times a year I unscrew my power supply (though not on laptop) and take it apart to get all of the dust out of it. Don t forget to replace the cooling paste which you put on the processor and cooler that is on the graphic card so it wont get overheated. Clean that out and it ll be running nice and cool again. Problems with overheating laptops are often due to accumulated dust in front of the suction.
This means you have to detach the fans and coolers carefully and blow on it and in some cases use a toothbrush or something to get into those small openings such as q-tips with alcohol. This is often the solution for crashing, overheating and fan speeds spinning on full blast.
Before you try to adjust fan speeds remember to clean your graphic card and processor fans from dust.
