Thanks, Peter. Yes, switched to Intel using prime-select. All other settings are pretty much the same as yours according to the screenshot, but I'm really not seeing much difference. I do notice the fans eventually shut of after a long time, and stay off for a short period, but then they start back up again. So -maybe- it's a little better than before. But can't be sure because the ambient room temp is a lot cooler since last time I tried.
Either way still not even close to Windows. Under Windows the fans hardly ever turn on - only when I stress the CPU, and then they're off again as soon as CPU load decreases. One difference I do notice is that for /cat/proc/cmdline you have vt.handoff=7. I don't have this parameter, but I think this just has something to do with the boot up display - so probably doesn't mean anything. Another difference is that you are using Mint and I have Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602888 Title: Dell Inspiron 7559 fans do not shut off once started, even when cool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1602888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
