Sometimes when have a significant workload rotating the laptop quite quickly makes the fans a weird significant noise for a few seconds #6

Already noticed that like 3 times.

However, it happened again but it was during 10 seconds this time, hence significantly more longer. It seems that the computer was working during this sound.

Related to #4.

This time the fan was already doing some work but when I put it in its cover, even if the Linux Mint was Suspended, it started to be crazy as reported above.

Today and yesterday my fans had the weird significant noise for quite no workload reason. These last days I potentially have a small anormal fan sound.

I had it twice with less than 10% of battery, maybe it is related.

I had 94% this time. I again have it with full battery while plugged and the computer was laying on my desk for several minutes.

I should open and clean the CPU fan or try to open it when there is a small sound go see where it comes from maybe. Opening the laptop when it is rotating heavily is maybe not a good idea. However, I should check what is the fan speed based on Benjamin-Loison/EmbeddedController/issues/4#issuecomment-2123227752:

sudo /home/benjamin/Desktop/bens_folder/dev/git/github/EmbeddedController/build/hx30/util/ectool pwmgetfanrpm

I could disable providing the password for this purpose. As the fan may stop heavily rotating for a few seconds:

while [ 1 ]
do
    date
    sudo /home/benjamin/Desktop/bens_folder/dev/git/github/EmbeddedController/build/hx30/util/ectool pwmgetfanrpm
    sleep 1
done

We should not expect significantly more than 9,000 RPM, as we get that much when try manually to push the fan to the best of its performances while it does not make a weird sound.

At the same time heard:

It seems to stop making the significant noise after a minute or two.

Benjamin-Loison commented 4 months ago

If we detect this issue, then we could set the fan speed to 0.

Benjamin-Loison commented 4 months ago

It especially does this workload-less issue when I use the laptop for the first time after waking up.

Closing a VirtualBox virtual machine like Linux Mint 22 (trust) is very slow when the laptop is globally slow: ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7dec40da-cee3-4938-a2d4-ba8ea545d924)
Benjamin-Loison commented 2 months ago

It seems to less and less do the weird rotating sound these recent days.

Benjamin-Loison commented 1 month ago

Well today it did it again.

Benjamin-Loison commented 1 month ago

To avoid this issue when use my laptop for a few tens of seconds then suspend it and use it only once every 4 minutes for just taking note with nothing else running would be nice to accept fan speed being 0 manually and monitoring temperature to prevent ridiculous such event in public serious context as it was the case today but with luck I had not this ridiculous event but heard premise sound.
