Hello everyone:
I got my Pavilion g6 notebook about a week ago.
I did a bios upgrade and to this point hadn't been in the bios.
But after upgrading the bios and I went in I noticed a setting that said: System Fan= "Always On"= Enabled?
Can anyone give me a good reason for always having the fan running?
Seems to me that would only wear on a vital peice of equipment?
I've had quite a few laptops and they all automatically turned on and off.
And in my experence the fan was on at least 90% of the time anyway, So if you are lucky enough to get the pc cool enough for the fan to shut off what is it going to hurt?
I run a cooling fan pad underneath it and it has a 220mm fan in it so it gets plenty of air circulation underheath it.
I was just wondering if anyone could explain the reasoning behind this.
And if you may think it be O.K for me to disable this setting in my bios?
Thanks!
