Windows 10: Utility for laptop fan control?

I've set the cooling option under power control on my new HP ProBook G6 450 laptop to passive and it has the latest BIOS version. I notice the fan turns on at a low speed every few minutes under low CPU load despite the CPU temperatures being only c. 40 degrees. The ambient temperature is c 20C.

This behaviour is probably by design. Is there a utility to provide more user control on how the fan operates?

Fan control for 4870X2 broken in 1.17

Fixed fan controls yes. Annoying profiles yes. Buggy code yes.

I'd rather just set it and forget it as the feature list of RBE suggested it was capable of doing.

I would suggest self controlled fans . *Smile

of controlling them .

 

Fan control issue


I recently reinstalled windows to windows 10 previously on windows 8.1.

The problem I'm having is with a program called HWInfo64 which controls my laptop fan so I can get it running as silently as possible without it overheating and powering off. Without the program I find that the fan just spins to quickly thus creating much noise, in a lot of reading in forums it seems it is a common issue with my laptop (hp elitebook 2540p). I'm thinking that a bios update could fix the issue but the problem is because it's an old laptop the latest version was released in 2015 which I have.

When I wake from the pc going to sleep mode I find that the fan speeds have been reset to default, a quick restart of the software fixes the issue and the fan speeds are back to the way they were however this problem never occurred with my windows 8.1 os setup or windows 7 before that. I have set the program to run as administrator but it has made no difference.
It seems to me a work around for this issue would be if I can somehow get HWInfo64 to close just before the pc goes into sleep mode then start back up when I wake the pc, is this possible?

If there is other programs I can try that will do the same job in controlling the fan speed please suggest.

Thanks for any responses in advance.
