@Alex: I have SSD in M.2 so far primary used with Windows and original SSHD with Linux, I've installed it without any issue from USB key on my HDD without any modification of ISO. It started with the nice dell logo on boot and I could also see Dell repositories/drivers in Driver manager, but the problem was that the Fan was spinning crazy (about 3k rpm) also on powertop I could see the CPU did not get over C3 state because of old kernel (3.19). I am wondering that Dell did not release 16.04 LTS based update yet. But anyway I've replaced it back to Mint 18.1 because on kernel 4.8.x fans are spinning permanently but significantly slower (2k rpm) and also after fresh boot the are turning off correctly for a while, but they start to spin forever after some time of usage.

When I first boot up the machine the fans are off. However, after the laptop warms up under normal usage, the fans kick on and then never shut off again. Even when the CPU cools down to below 35c, the fans will continue to run. If I suspend the the laptop, and then immediately wake it up again then fans are once again off, until it warms up again. So essentially, once the fans start they don't seem to ever shut off. Fans seem to work normally under Windows 10. They turn on as needed, and then turn off once the laptop cools down. I've tried the various BIOS updates that Dell has released, without success. I am currently running Dell's latest BIOS for this laptop (v1.1.8) Below is the output of lm-sensors showing the fans running when the CPU is at a cool 35c dell_smm-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device Processor Fan: 1925 RPM Processor Fan: 2143 RPM CPU: +35.0°C GPU: +1.0°C SODIMM: +49.0°C ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-4.4.0-28-generic 4.4.0-28.47 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-28.47-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-28-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: bob 1709 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jul 13 19:18:45 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=14de580b-76f3-47e4-9850-fe7637f9ff77 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-13 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
