I have multiple Chrome tabs open (10+), Slack and other typical CPU hogs running without the CPU fan attempting to rise off the desk. Today I have a silent machine with no noticeable effect on daily usage or CS:GO gaming performance, that’s with 2 Dell U2414H monitors occupying the HDMI and Thunderbolt connectors. Showing the thermal profile of the Dell 24 hours after applying the Core Voltage Offset change and enabling Passive system cooling. The fix for the loud CPU fan – especially when a Thunderbolt device is connected – is to turn on passive cooling within Power Options and using Intel XTU undervolt the CPU 0.100 V dramatically lowering the thermal profile of the followed by setting Dell Command Power Manager to Quiet. I can put at least 3 of the above motherboard replacements down to me telling them “the CPU fan is too loud” which was blamed by Dell Support and on-site technicians on issues with the motherboard and promptly replaced. I’ve had my almost 18 months now, here’s my replacement history so far… all covered under Dell’s Premium Support NBD contract:

This update addresses the Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-00230.Update (): I purchased a Razer Core X eGPU + GeForce GTX 970, with the eGPU connected fan noise is no longer an issue as all GPU processes are done over Thunderbolt 3.

The Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework driver is a power and thermal management solution that is used to resolve fan noise, overheating, and performance-related issues of the system. Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver : This package contains the Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework driver. When you do see Chipset driver, right click on it, select Properties, Driver and then look for latest driver's version: 9.6897

You might have to expand each headings to see it. Type Device Manager onto search box, and then search for the Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework driver.

Please enter the service tag number (or use Detect PC option) onto the link below.Īfter installing the Chipset driver, please make sure the driver is correctly installed in device manager.
#Dell power manager thermal management install#
You have to install Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver (Chipset) onto the system. Please expand Battery Information for additional information in the link below: Recommended for users who want to "set it and forget it."Ĭustom - User selects when the battery starts and stops charging. Recommended for users who primarily operate the system while plugged into an external power source.Īdaptive - Automatically optimizes battery settings based on the user's typical patterns. Primarily AC Use - Extends battery life by lowering the charge threshold, so that the battery never charges to 100 percent capacity. Charge time may be longer if the system is powered on. If the system is powered off, then the battery typically charges to 80 percent within one hour and 100 percent in two hours. Recommended for users who need the battery to charge quickly. Recommended for users who frequently switch between battery and external power sources.ĮxpressCharge™ - Quickly charges the battery using Dell fast-charge technology. This setting provides a balanced approach to extending battery life while still providing a reasonably fast charging time. Standard - Fully charges the battery at a moderate rate. Hopefully one of the Dell rep or someone else with knowledge can confirm.Īnd to answer your question to " if I switch from adaptive to Primarily AC use " If latest Power Manager is installed, I suspect your computer doesn't support Thermal Management. Please make sure you have latest Dell Power Manager (version 3.4.0,A00) installed on the system- see link below):
