I bought the laptop 3 months ago and I found that the fan is slightly noisy at idle with the power plugged in, but once I unplug and use the battery, the noise is barely noticeable and I like it when I try to work at the library or office for paperwork but not gaming . Is there any way I can have the battery power profile when I plugged in the power, or I still have to underclock it with throttle stop or something ( I tired throttle stop and set the fan speed to lowest in PS, it did help a bit but not silent enough, if someone can give me a better TS setting I would happy to take it as well :)

    sk031119 you cant use it on battery powerplan when its on AC (windows will not let you) and its completely normal to be noisy its a gaming laptop you can optimise your windows and undervolt it but that will not solve anything windows will always force the balanced or performance powerplan when on AC also im sorry to inform you but a gaming laptop its not to be used on a library neither in any office that requires silence for that purpose you should had got a normal laptop instead the fan curve on all 2019/20 is much more aggressive than on the older 2017/18 predators and T500 (which the fans stop under 40 degrees) in order to provide a much better cooling and performance,  and also to help to generate even more high temps microsoft added a new (rubbish feature) to the win10 1909/2004 where when on AC it will lock the cpu on 2 cores only always at max turbo boost even on idle and park the remaining to be used only when needed high demanding works or gaming this of course causes the temps to ramp up high even on idle causing the fans to ramp up this issue its mainly microsoft's fault not the manufacturers and theres nothing you can do about it also one more in the many reasosn why im still on 1809 and not moving up ever and theres no better TS settings if you want better you need to keep tweaking them yourself as each cpu has its own different limits even if its the exact same model its the silicone lottery good luck :)
