Option Silent4000RPMThreshold in FanControl.dll.ini now defines at what temperature Silent fan curve should reach 4000 RPM. Minimum -- 80, default -- 85, maximum -- 90.
More tests are welcomed of course, but according to my tests:
in Baldur's Gate 3 with any heavy graphical settings
with Silent4000RPMThreshold being set to default value (85)
with Silent fan profile-curve activated
and TDP set to 15W
SoC's temperature stays at ~90°C, what pushes the fan up to 6450 RPM and leaves some headroom for sudden jumps (to ~95°C, never seen 100°C). In this scenarion noise level is high, but that's expected because of the 15W TDP level.
If you think that's still too risky, we can drop the default Silent4000RPMThreshold value to 80.
With Silent4000RPMThreshold kept at 85, the TDP limitation to 12W lowers temperatures by 5°C (average under stress from ~90°C to ~85°C, sudden jumps from ~95°C to ~90°C). Such change eliminates most of the noise heard in previous scenario (Silent4000RPMThreshold == 85, TDP == 15W).
Lowering the TDP level to 10W eliminates the noise almost completely.
