    Yes this will be interesting, in the 5793 the "loud" fan noise was mostly the GPU fan, cpu fans were not a problem. Since this model only has 1 fun it will be interesting to see what silent mode does for it.

    I'm such a fan of Hibernate now that I always use it when "turning off" my desktop...10 seconds vs 2 minutes.

    Its always good to shutdown every once in a while to clear the ram. I think shutting down every week would be nice.

    I use hibernate about 1-2 months before shutting down.
    However I do ocasionally restart for programs and updates.

    I used to get this problem with hibernating, screen would go blank before returning back to windows and I got an error about some API having insufficient resources to complete the task. After that every time I tried to hibernate it would just stand-by until the next reboot.

    This was a Clevo laptop too. Hopefully they've fixed it.
