That’s too complex for me.

Thanks, I’m quite happy with my work Thinkpad E14 Gen4 with a i5 12500, although that also doesn’t get completely silent, even though the fans are much more quiet than the Schenkers we had, especially in Idle.

The Problem with all the Reviews I can find for pretty much all Notebooks, that they don’t really state how silent they really get, i.e. if the fans turn off at all. It seems that this is not a very common issue for most people.

Right now I’m eying the Razer Blade 14 or the Asus Zephyrus G14, both using the Ryzen 9 7940HS, so if anyone has some experience with the fan noise of these or similar Notebooks (especially in a little bit tuned Linux environment), I would really like to hear some opinions - in another Comment we already discussed, that the G14 does not seem to get completely silent.

I have made some good experience in this regard with my Blade 15 2018 which is completely silent, so it’s hard for me to swap to device that isn’t.

Yah, makes for a great slideshow, found out the hard way too.

For our old devices we found out, that around 90% maximum CPU disables the Intel Turbo Boost (on Linux you can just disable it). It doesn’t make any notable difference for browsing, etc.

The new CPUs however didn’t like that at all (there’s some guide in the Windows forum how to throttle the performance cores via CLI, as the graphical Windows Energy Settings will just throttle the Efficiency Cores.).
