    installed SSD fan running constantly


    Hi , i recently upgraded my laptops hard drive to a Samsung 840 evo 500GB SSD. Whilst i've noticed a massive improvement in performance there is one little annoyance , the fans on my laptop are constantly going on and off is there a way to combat this and is this a common problem ?

    Hi Bibbster,

    Not a common problem no, if anything after fitting a SSD the fans should come on less as a SSD gives off no heat at all compared to a regular spinner.

    Did any bios settings change when you installed it? I would have a look in the bios to see if there are any settings for fans etc.

    If you updated the bios then that may have changed things. I don't have a laptop but in my bios there are settings for what temp the fans kick in and at what speed, this may or may not apply to you but worth checking.
