Hopefully this trick will save people who purchased a Lenovo yoga from having to return their laptops.
If the video helped you please like and subscribe :)
I almost can't hear what you are saying, because of the noice my PC makes haha
same haha xD
Worked perfectly for me. Fans actually shut off about half the time. Fans are silent or barely audible now. I only use my old laptop for basic tasks so the noise reduction is absolutely worth the 2% hit to performance. Thank you for this solution.
Thanks for stopping by, glad I could help
I can't find processor power management on mine. All I can see is Desktop background settings, sleep, display and battery
It worked on my Yoga S730! I just got it a few weeks ago, and I immidiately noticed the temperature and noise produced, both while charged and not. This completely solved everything - it's all quiet and cold. Wish, that every Lenovo-owner with the same problem got to see this video! You're definitely a lifesaver!:)
Marie Rønne Jørgensen glad it helped, all the best for the new year
@@patpaof You too, man!😊🙏🙏
Fantastic fix!!! I thought I was going to go out of my head listening to my fan running all the time...also people you might want to open up your laptop and check for dust and lent in the cooling fan and the ducts. Mine had about 30% blockage.
I've reduced it down to 90% hopefully it shut it up for good. Or I get an Apple. Grrrrrr dam'n Microsoft!
Worked for me on Lenovo G570 laptop.
Reduced both values to 90% and Both to Passive.
Solved completely. THANKS!!💐
This fixed the fan noise for me! I set my power numbers to 95% and powered down. When it came back on, no more noise. Seriously. I ordered a used fan assembly on Amazon but I may not need to install it. Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (from 2013).
Thank you for taking the time to post this video! Seems it worked for me, seriously that noise was driving me insane
I can't find the processor power management option on my Lenovo yoga c740😕😕
Were you able to solve the fan noise problem? I am facing the same problem with the same laptop.

This worked for me once I set it to 90%. Thank you! @Ich liebe Dich Auch mentioned this in the first comment below as a response: Just above "maximum processor state" you have >> "System cooling Policy" set that to "passive" both the options!!! (This also decreased the fan noise.)
It worked, thanks! Silence at last. I had updated my BIOS just before trying this and that did some good but didn't cure it completely. Reducing the processor power use to 98% killed the conctant fan noise. So my £500 Yoga 500 is still going strong after 5 years (with a 1TB SSD upgrade for the original HDD). So I would disagree that Lenovo are 'thieves' - a quality bit of kit.
Iain Wightwick yes I agree, I’ve been using my yoga extensively through university for 3 years now and still works like a charm
OMG THANK YOU I’ve been dealing with this stupid fan noise forever
Worked like a charm! I didn’t even have to restart it.
Didn't last more than a few hours and the noise came right back. So frustrating.
I have tried everything you have tried. Now I tried to reduce the maximum process state and unfortunately it didn't help at all. I have Yoga 720 and I have been suffering of this problem for almost three years. Thinking of giving up and buying a new laptop.
This simply disables the processor from turboing, you can also do this with Throttlestop. If you have the issue that the CPU is at it's max clock speed all the time, enable Speed Shift in throttlestop - it allows the CPU to ramp down when there's no load.
THERE IS A SOLUTION!!!!!! The problem is that some of the power management options are missing from the Windows 10 install C940s come with, not allowing for the fans to be properly managed as there is no way to edit how much the processors are running at -> which directly affects the fan load.
I phoned Microsoft tech support and there is a way to get them to walk us through a process to turn on advanced power management options which the preinstalled Windows 10 is lacking [they do not come with the option of PROCESSOR POWER MANAGEMENT in advanced power options.
They told me this:
1. Right click Start.
2. Select Run.
3. Type regedit and press enter to open the registry editor.
4. Go to the folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power.
5. On the right, check one of the keys called CsEnabled.
6. Click on that key.
7. Change the value from 1 to 0.
8. Restart your computer.
If you would rather do this with a technician over the phone call their tech support and they should help you out.
Once this is done go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > (create a new power plan "Balanced" and then once it is in the list click "change plan settings." Once in the new pop-up window click change advanced power settings and now you should have the option of PROCESSOR POWER MANAGEMENT (Yippee thanks Microsoft) and in the MAXIMUM PROCESSOR STATE setting this between 50% and 75% kills of the always-on fans and has little real world effect on multi tasking.
Simply switch back to or create a "high performance" power plan where everything is maxed out for games, etc.
I hope this helps.
The Gentleman's Guide thanks for the detailed comment and effort!!
@@patpaof Thanks! I've been struggling since getting mine to sort this out and this finally is the end all solution. I would not trade the C940 for anything at the moment. It's the best all arounder in my opinion :-)
Found the Folder mentioned in step 4 but not seeing the key CsEnabled?
@@austinskinner1022 Same problem, did you find a solution?
There is NOTHING calles CsEnabled.... God, so tired of all these dead ends :-D
Thank you!! My fan on my Lenovo IdeaPad C340 did make noise by just opening a new tab, now the problem I solved, thanks
Thanks for the tutorial but my Yoga 7i didn't have the Maximum processor state, there are only Desktop Background settings, Sleep, Display, and Battery. Could you let me know if there is another way to solve this problem?
Same here, any fix for this?
@@austinskinner1022 same
Same
It’s been some time since this comment was posted but for anyone who needs this now, this is how I found the solution:
1. Go to Settings
2. In the search bar, type in “Edit Power Plan”.
3. A window entitled “Edit Plan Settings” should pop up.
4. Click on “Change Advanced Power Settings”.
5. Another tab “Power Options” should pop up.
6. Click “Processor Power Management”.
7. 2 options should show: “Minimum Processor State” and “Maximum Processor State”. Click “Maximum”.
8. Change the “battery” and “plugged in” percentage to 98%. I changed mine to 90%.
9. Click “Apply” and then”Ok” at the bottom.
10. Wait a few minutes and restart your computer.
Good luck!

@@christa000bee I have the same problem as the guys before, in some Lenovo it doesnt display the Processor Power Management” option. Just Desktop Background settings, Sleep, Display, and Battery. So this is the problem :(
Thank you. It fixed two laptops in this house.
damn, you're a life saver! even had this problem on my lenovo l340 which has just been released. said they'd have a quiet mode.. couldnt find it anywhere. Thank you sir!!
IHadToChooseThis1 happy to help :)
OMG! You are a life saver! thank you so sooooo much! My computer has been super loud for a few years now, everyday such a hassle to use it! And it was super slow. This trick seems to have sped up the loading time of pages!!!!!! WOW!!! And I can even watch facebook videos, I couldn't do that before this trick! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much! I had opened up my laptop and did not know what to do.. lockdown and all .. was going crazy.. Thank you infinity!! :)
Lesssss goooooo it worked finally it doesnt sound like theres a rocket engine in my room, thank you so so much
i was watching ur "fix" just want to add that when u set 99% u automaticaly turn off turbo boost therefore lower temps and lower performance. There's no need to go lower than 99.
Pedro 86 thanks for the tip, hopefully others see this comment
This helped me immediately. As soon as I applied the settings, I went to restart it and there was an update + restart option. I chose that. I'm not sure if changing the settings triggered an update + restart script to apply the settings or if that option was already there. My laptop is new and was fine until recently these last couple of weeks there were a lot of update + restarts I had to do and couldn't avoid. I figured everything was up to date for a while when they stopped popping up. My hunch? Windows or Lenovo put out glitchy update that broke our fans. They fixed this with the update after the glitchy one. Also, consciousness of Matcha Mochi, and this here video, too, especially, is a 4 dimensional shortcut to the above conclusions if you are me. f(x)=0m
Holy shit. I have been dealing with my noisy fan this whole time and this completely fixed it! Thanks heaps!!!
Nitro Trophies all the best
Yes, very useful tip. Turn off your laptop to cooldown. Thanks mate!
Thanks, man. Cool, short and precise solution. KEEP IT UP!
I don't even have all these options? I have a Lenovo yoga c740
Me too, mg fan keeps getting stuck for less than a second for some reason which makes a sound
@@Someone-xg1ff having the same problem
What did you manage to do?
I was thinking cleaning the fan
@@jaredreyes6406 I just bought a new fan and replaced the original one
WOW, this was literally the only thing that worked
C Lee glad it helped !
I'll keep this in mind if I need it. I was really unhappy with how crazy my fans were going on my 730S. But then it was only because when it's new, it's doing updates and stuff for a good while.
At one point the laptop was getting really hot. I noticed the damn power brick thing was in the sun. That annoys me a lot.
But now it doesn't particularly use the fan, and it's not warm or anything and it's great.
Siberius Wolf yeah that’s the case with most new laptops, even with mine
Fan slowed down after a while but was noisy during peak performance
My computer doesn’t even have those options :/ wtf
Had the same problem! You have to enable advanced power settings:
open Regedit (windows key + R -> type "regedit")
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
and change "CsEnabled" from 1 to 0
restart your computer
hope that works!
Flipper going to try this. Thank you
Flipper I did this and nothing changed :(
I did restart the computer
i dont have these options with yoga 7i.
but isnt the issue temps? turning off fan due to noise doesnt fix high temps right? having the issue on 730s
Bimb I’m actually no expert in this so take my advice as a grain of salt. The fan speeds up as it needs to cool down the cpu. More stress on the computer means the fans will run faster. So by throttling the fans, the high temps will not be fixed. If you are experiencing thermal issues then that requires a different solution to the one uploaded above
When I'm in my advanced settings for power plan it doesnt say power management settings, how did u get all those setting I'm on windows 10 1909
Mike Seine I’m not sure, it should have the processor power management dropdown
Have you been able to fix the problem? I am not able to see those settings either
@@srenkristiansimonsen2041 Yes I fixed it, you have to go to registry editor on your computer and go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power and then select CsEnabled and change value data to 0 and then restart computer.
cheers mate - that worked instantly!!
Worked like a charm :)
I turned down to 90% and haven't noticed a difference yet. Day 2 with my new laptop and had it shipped to another country!
Thank you so much. Problem solved!!
Jingting Sun glad it worked for you :)
I have a new lenovo 7I 15 and I have this issue, but I can’t find this setting pls help :(
Awesome it worked on my Yoga 520...
On Windows 10 Home this isnt available
I thought so too but then I found this. Just download the file and it will show up in task manager: www.tenforums.com/tutorials/107967-add-remove-maximum-processor-state-power-options-windows.html
Thanks for this! This helped a lot!!
Great video. Sadly didn't work for me😢
Worked for me. Thanks man!
Never gonna buy a stupid Lenovo again : (
LULUSHU :(
:(
This worked! Thank you!
Wonderful, this is really working :)
So easy , worked for me, thanks ! :)
nice one that worked - thank you!
worked instantly for my yoga
It worked. Thank you ❤️
Works, thx for the help :)
Thank you sir I was about to lose my shit. 99% also works fine
You got a new subscriber!
Perfect, thanks!
How can I do this on Windows 10? There's no processor power management...
Flavia Grossenbacher there should be under advanced settings
there isn't... :(
It works!!! thank you so much!!
It didnt work,but will it be fixed by itself ?
Thanks!
you are a hero
it works!! thanks!
It worked!
I did this, this morning. It kept blowing, but nothing weird. In the afternoon I turned my laptop on and the screen remains black? Did someone have this happen to them and how was it fixed? It could be unrelated. I don't know what's wrong. I really need my laptop for online classes 😫
This happened to me, too. Nothing but black after the Lenovo splash screen. Immensely frustrating.
the real issue is that Lenovo actually ships this shit and we have to find fixes like throttling the CPU to make it shut up. Instead of wasting our precious life time finding fixes, we should just throw their expensive crap back to where it came from.
tysm bro this worked for me
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! 😊
Thank you..
It worked! Thaks!
This didn't work for me. I just want to smash my computer it's so frustrating. Reduced both values to 90% and Both to Passive. Restarted computer. Still noisy obnoxious fan.
Same here.
I put it near the aircon whenever I use it xD, that way - the noise im hearing is probably from the ac and my laptop's noise would be overcome lmao
Does it affects gaming on l340?
possibly, but if you want better performance then the fan noise usually means the laptop is trying to keep up with demands. thats the trade off
I don’t have this option in my settings
I have two lenovo's and never will I buy another lenovo product.
workeddd!!!
it worked for me lenovo yoga
tq
My fan is like an airplane engine :)
it doesnt show the processor setting
Video starts at 00:43
It worked n fan stop making noise for like 5 months but after that it came back
amazing.

Basically that disables turbo boost
you mean how to work around loud fans, this does nothing to fix/replace a loud fan.
Please note that this isn't really a "fix." Its more of a temporary, jerry rigged solution that lowers your performance to prevent the fan from ramping up. Its also misleading to think that turning it to 99% means you only lose 1% - the reality is that it disables turbo boost, something of which adds a significant performance boost over clock speed.
This fix is like Apple purposely decreasing the performance of old IPhones for the purpose of extending battery life. Yes, it works, but at a cost.
jeff k yeah , I think people come to this vid because they’d do anything to reduce or eliminate the fan noise. Reducing performance is an obvious variable in this solution and anyone would get that if they followed the steps. For the most part, the viewers of this video would rather noise elimination > extra bit of performance. Plus, we’re talking about Lenovo products that aren’t meant for gaming so there’s no real point in enabling over clocking. If they wanted the turbo boost, high performance laptops wouldn’t have this issue OR the consumer would understand that the fan requires to work harder to keep up with demands so there’s no going around it
did literally nothing
upbeatbidachi have you tried turning it off and on
@@patpaof yeah...
Just above "maximum processor state" you have >> "System cooling Policy" set that to "passive" both the options!!!
@@ichliebedichauch3420 I tried both, my fan is still making noise. I opened it up and I can't see anything off with it, but the noise is definitely coming from the fan itself. I cleaned the fan just in case but it's still making that noise whenever I do anything (literally just opening internet gets it started).
@@Joppe253 Set both to 90% and Both to Passive. This will completely solve the problem.
Bottlenecking your laptop's performance isn't a fix wtf.
Cosmic Clayton did it reduce the amount of noise the fan was making? Yes. So you’re literally just hating. Unless you can provide a fix the works for your daily consumer, cya 👋👋
Thanks man my fan is quieter now 🫶
Awesome, thank you!
