    So i have been playing with the fan modes and i like how it quiets down the fan; however i was curious if there was a way to get the fan mode to adjust based on what battery plan you choose?

    I have tested and it looks like an independent feature.

    Thanks

    You can accomplish the most of the same effect by lowering the power plan's max CPU setting. I have my Stamina/Max Battery set at 50%.
