Windows 7: windows 7 build 7068

Hi guys,

this might sound like a stupid question but did any one experience a change in there laptop fan after installing windows 7 build 7068. i cant remember it by like this before. it does not go on full steam but it like the fan is in idle mode or something.

is this normal ???

thanx in advance

I've not noticed but i'll keep an eye (well ear) on it. I would presume that as Windows 7 doesn't use as many resources in the background it only switches when it's required (mainly for CPU intensive activity).

ook cool thanx.

but tell me , should the fan not switch off completely or should it idle slowly ?

The fan should stay on at all times, if not the CPU would burn out.

I've just had a check to see if I can duplicate what you're experiencing & i've noticed the fan start up not long after starting Media Center. This would indicate some sort of automatic switching when needed.

Just out of curiosity what power plan are you using?

im on balanced. ok so the fan on any laptop will allways stay on?? "Blonde moment" i jusy didn't noticed it.

You know what , your right. because the fan go's on full when im in media center or doing something that uses a lot of cpu power, otherwise it idles slowly.

thanx man

No worries, you only need to ask. That's why were here

the fan on my M1330 doesn't stay on. i plan on upgrading from 7000 to 7068 tonight though. i'll give an update and let you know if i see (hear) any differences
