    Anyone have experience with laptops of this generation? The fans are super sensitive, as soon as cores tick over 35C they ramp up hugely and erratically, going from inaudible to very loud and back again swiftly and repetitively. I've been using a Zenbook profile in Notebook Fan Control - which I believe has a similar dual fan setup - which makes the fans kick in audibly at around 65C (which doesn't happen very often as laptops are used for relatively low load (no gaming)), but I don't have much experience working with laptops so I'm just looking for some reassurance that it's safe to continue using this profile.

    BIOS is up to date, and only solution to erratic fans I've been able to come across is by using FanControl
