    Hello Everyone!

    Three months ago I bought my first ever laptop-
    Thinkpad W510 4389
    i7-720QM
    4GB DDR2
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M +latest 1.45 BIOS, Win7 x64

    As I know nothing about computers and my English is poor I`d like to ask You for some help regarding the Power manager settings and constant fan noise of a Thinkpad.

    The PowM`s version is latest 6.65 plus the CPU`s power management is disabled by me because of the cpu`s whine/hiss.

    Here are some screenshots of the settings in the Power Source Optimized Plan in use:

    The machine is for these purposes: browsing with Mozilla (often more than 10 tabs opened),movies,using installed dictionaries, no gaming.

    I would really appreciate any help and suggestions.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Try installing ThinkPad Fan Control and let us know if it helps:
