Related to that are heatsinks that are not firmly attached to the CPU. The flat of the heatsink needs to be flat against the CPU. If you have a badly installed heatsink, or a failing fixture, it needs sorting out. Modern motherboards often let you pick "silent" modes where they normally run the fans slower, speeding them up when heat is detected. I suppose it's possible that a quiet mode might actually run too slowly, to begin with. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 14 18:22:28 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
