    Hey, I have a few questions about my DSDT haxing. My fan is always on after about 2mins from boot despite having the "fan always on" option disabled in teh BIOS (starts spinning quite fast around 50C).

    I followed a guide located here: How to Reduce Fan Noise on HP Notebooks

    Everything goes well and tables get patched, but the values that I am changing dont seem right.

    At first I changed the BCLT section:
    Code:
    Name(BCLT, Package(0xd)
                {
                    0x64,
                    0x32,
                    Zero,
                    0xa,
                    0x14,
                    0x1e,
                    0x28,
                    0x32,
                    0x3c,
                    0x46,
                    0x50,
                    0x5a,
                    0x64
                })
    But with little success, It had effect on the screen brightness leves.

    Then I found something else: FMIN and FMAX values. Played around with those, but had no effect at all:

    Code:
    Name(REGN, "Processor Thermal Zone")
                Name(FMAX, 0x960)
                Name(FMIN, 0x320)
    THEN I found something that really seems like the right spot:
    Code:
    Scope(_TZ_)
        {
            Name(TPC_, 0x64)
            Name(TPTM, 0x4b)
            Name(TPAS, 0x5f)
            Name(PSVT, 0x41)
            Name(PSVM, Zero)
            Name(DHOT, 0x5a)
            Name(HOTF, Zero)
            ThermalZone(THRM)
            {...plaplaplah
    
    Could this be it? Its just that I find it quite annoying to work in this noise.
    Ive upped my BIOS from f13 to f15(latest).

    Any experience with HPs? Need help. Thank you for your time.
