    My notebook's fan was going crazy on windows 10 to the point where it sounded like my machine was possessed then I found this trick and it is quite as a mouse now... Maybe useful to someone... Power & Sleep settings -> Additional power settings -> Change Power Settings -> Change advanced power settings and in popup window Processor Power management. Changed System cooling policy to passive and Maximum processor state to 90%. Processor Power Management[^]

              That's Change plan settings ... and it seems to work also on my hp Zbook. Thanks, this has been really annoying :thumbsup::cool: !! Hope it does not break anything though... And congrats for digging this out, I would have stopped after the 4th submenu level :^)

                    Check what processes are using the most CPU. E.g. Chrome has a sub-process called 'Software Reporter Tool' that can use a lot of resources - I just kill that one.

                        Go into Device Manager. Are there any devices that are unidentified? It may mean that the power management drivers for the motherboard aren't installed.

                              Yeah. we're dell "partners" - oem channel. We have bought countless pcs from them over the decades. About 5 years ago we bought an i5 for someone and it arrived as you have described. And searching the internet brought me to the same solution as you. 1. They ship em that way? - Must be a loud final test room. 2. Is Dell retarded now? - This is not an isolated incident by any stretch. If they are looking for an exit strategy (I would too today) this might do it.

                                  By setting max power state below 100% you essentially disable cpu boost. If that lowers fan noise then some process was using a lot of cpu causing continuous boost. Changing that setting is treating the symptoms, not the cause.

                                        My notebook's fan was going crazy on windows 10 to the point where it sounded like my machine was possessed then I found this trick and it is quite as a mouse now... Maybe useful to someone... Power & Sleep settings -> Additional power settings -> Change Power Settings -> Change advanced power settings and in popup window Processor Power management. Changed System cooling policy to passive and Maximum processor state to 90%. Processor Power Management[^]

                                        In my experience, changing the cooling policy to passive will slow down the computer to avoid it overheating and then will try to enable the fan when this is insufficient, also lowering the maximum processor state will avoid your computer reaching peak performance, so basically, you're trading performance for quietness.
