Came across this thread as I dislike the constant fan noise at idle. Seems to be around 3300rpm with min duty cycle at 40, and CPU temp around 58.
I reduced min duty cycle to 20 and the fan seemed to rise from about 1800 to settle at around 2500 and temp around 62-63. This was when simply on the BIOS page so pretty idle.
Even 2500rpm sounds a lot quieter than 3300rpm.
Can anyone confirm whether that is ok or likely to cause damage having the CPU at 62-63 at idle rather than 58ish? Presumably as CPU load increases the fan will increase accordingly which I'm fine with.
It's just that I have one of these in a bedroom and at 3300 it's noticeable at night.
