Fan noise

Software PureOS
21

Hello again,

I tried Fedora release 25 and still the fan is on full blast. I messed with the BIOS and it didn’t help. I also booted up Archlinux that I have an SSD from the previous Librem 15 I had that I had to send back because the right hinge broke.

The good neews: The tweaks made (no more off switches under the screen) and the overall build quality has improved. So that is good. PureOS 2.1 is also more polished. Finally getting the hang of the package management of Debian.

The fan is quite annoying.

Nik, can you monitor the cpu (and other) temperatures of your laptop to see if this is causing fan to work at full speed? Also, what happens if you boot to bios, the same thing? You can also monitor temperatures from bios.

It will appear you have a hardware with fan issues :-/ when did you receive this laptop? Can you mail with details to ops@puri.sm (and CC me in as well, zlatan.todoric@puri.sm).
