Hello, I use an Acer travel Mate P215-53G-51MU, its got an 1135G7 intel i5 Processor along with the Nvidia MX330 Graphics card, I am running the latest update of Windows 11 at the time of writing this post. Normally the machine works just fine but i have noticed that when my battery is below 30% and I am doing minimal tasks like watching a movie on a streaming site or reading a pdf my cooling fan stops. completely!
To be fair I like this and would like for it to happen at all times when i am doing minimum tasks but that is not the case, when ever the laptop has power above 30% the fan keeps spinning and at some point it blows cool air. I can understand how this maybe a safety feature but does it not waste power? My battery barely hits the 4hr mark while doing close to nothing because the fan is always spinning. I must also indicate that it runs silent enough you wont even notice it when the audio is playing.
I am an efficiency freak and would like to have some control over the fan in situations when I am barely pushing my system. Please advice on what I can do for my particular case?? I have cleaned my laptop to ensure smooth air flow, I always run my pc on a cooling pad, but that doesn't help. I did some searching online and apparently my system doesn't have a particular module to control fan speed so i think windows maintains that some how using CPU temperature, I am not really sure about how it all works but, I've been through the bios and there is also nothing that can remedy this issue.
Also I run my system with everything set to maximum efficiency plus battery saver is set to be on every time I disconnect from the power supply, but that also doesn't keep the fan off long enough. is there something that can be done? The high performance GPU is always off unless i am doing some video editing in which case i am fine with fan going wild. and yes the machine is new,
