Permanently working noisy fan

Hi everyone,

I have spent so much time trying to solve my noisy fan issue on ubuntu and zorin forums in vain. I would like to ask for your help now.

I bought an HP Omen Freedos and installed Zorin 12 Core. But the fan is working all the time in full speed although heating is not an issue (around 37-45 celcius). I have done the following things but nothing has changed:

- I am using Nvidia Geforce 1050 graphics card and the proprietary driver with it.
- All updates and upgrades are up-to-date.
- TLP does not help.
- "quiet splash" in the Grub in various ways.

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. It's driving me crazy! Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, this was for Ubuntu 3 years ago but it may still apply?:

I know compaq is not hp but they did merge at one point/taken over by HP to become HP/Compaq?

Hey Swarfendor, thanks for your relpy.

I tried both scripts and nothing has changed :/

Any other suggestions?

See the last post here: you may need a replacement from BP?

Hi, thanks again for your reply.

I am sorry, I am not good with acronyms. What does BP stand for?

Also, I checked the post you mentioned. Do you mean that I need to take the computer to service and maybe ask for a replacement?

Predictive Text on smartphone again! HP not BP - sorry! Yes, if still in warranty see if you can get a replacement laptop - might be worth recording an audio file and attaching that to any e-mail you send them. (But I wouldn't mention you are running GNU/Linux - they might say it invalidates your warranty?

Oh I see now. Thanks!

That's sad, though. It's been only 3 weeks since I bought it. I don't think running Linux would invalidate my warranty because I bought it as Free-Dos

Well looking at that thread looks like the person only had it for five days!
