This was actually so helpful I had to return to this video after a few hours just to thank you for the advice.The fan noise on my X395 was driving me crazy for ages and my frustrations ended just like that. Thank you!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I wish I found this video when you made it. I've had my Lenovo laptop since 2019 and its fan has been constantly running more or less since. Draining the battery in 2½ hours on average when not plugged in. I now live in a world of silence. Thank you!
this was a great help and i liked that you spoke about how it will effect the computer most videos just say "do this and this and you should be good" without explaining what it does to the computer
This is working for me so far! Fingers crossed it doesn't cause any damage to run at 48%, but it definitely quieted down the fan! The computer is bearable now! Thank you!!!
Thank you, thank you. I love my new Lenovo laptop but the fan ran too often and was really loud. I followed your instructions finding my Battery and Plugged in settings set at 100%. I lowered both settings to 50%. Not only is the fan coming on far less but when it does come on it's "whisper soft" in comparison. I'm so glad I found your post!
absolutely great! My daughter uses a Lenovo laptop in school and complains about the noise. Will try this tonight and see if she notices the difference. :-)
OMG this worked like a charm. I was about to get a new laptop after I was told the noise will shut my motherboard, I'm so happy I came across this video. I love my lenovo so much. Thank you😭
I was minutes away from taking a Lenovo laptop under warranty, the noise from the fan when charging was too much and I even thought it was some considerable damage, I did as is in your video and it was excellent, bye-bye noise, I lowered it to 70%
Thank you!! I got the ideapad L340 Gaming (for minimal gaming, nothing intense) and even at 3% CPU usage, the fan was going crazy. Lenovo support was absolutely no help and refused to acknowledge that the fan is a common issue with a lot of their laptops. I haven’t even had this laptop for a week and I was getting ready to send it back and get a different brand.
Hi, I have a Lenovo 17" L340 IdeaPad that's two years old. I noticed the battery is starting to fail (losing its charge faster) and the cooling fan is always running. I do know the battery in my budget level IdeaPad L340 17" is the same battery used in smaller Lenovo IdeaPads and the battery is a little too small for a 17" Laptop screen. I'm about to order a new replacement battery but if I may ask... what setting did you set your CPU usage at that helped to stop the fan from always running? BTW, I'm not a 'gamer' but just use my Laptop to bounce around the internet; FB videos, mail, RUclips etc. Thanks for any info, Ray
I was thinking about getting rid off my laptop because of the noise. Fortunately I found your video and the setting worked like a charm. Thank you very much!
Just tried this on a new Lenovo P15v that resisted all other fixes. I should'a dun this first! Settings at 75% 110v power and 50% battery results so quiet you could use the PC in a church. Thank You!!!
wow! this worked wonders! thank you so much! i recently bought a laptop and the fan was super loud, even on the system's "quiet mode" while i was doing regular tasks (using my internet browser or chatting app). but even while running games now, the fan whirring has reduced so much and the game still runs at max graphics. thank you thank you!
@@aroy6569 i have only changed the maximum processor state to 60% (for both), and it's only a very low whir when i load up and play genshin at max graphics (i don't play a lot of pc games, and genshin is probably the most pc intensive). but whenver im just doing schoolwork, even with a dozen tabs open, i hear nothing!
@@aroy6569 update: increased it to 70% to run modded minecraft, and the game runs smooth + my laptop still doesn't go crazy when i do just normal, daily tasks
Thanks. Took care of such a loud fan noise from my new ThinkPad. So then I looked into WHY it's noisy... research. For most people, the ThinkPad P series (P15, P17 and T15P) are the top end, fastest, and noisiest ThinkPads. So look at what you bought... Do you have P ThinkPad?
Worked. Reduced mine to 85% and all issues ceased. A smart idea anyway for conserving battery life when you consider the vast majority of actions on a PC require nowhere near 100% of a computer's processing power.
I don't have nearly the same amount of options when I go to the additional settings menu. There is no "processor power management" option for me. Any suggestions?
@@meraja2010 I did find a solution.. you have to put the Lenovo back in the box and take it back to Best Buy and buy a new laptop. Totally fixed the problem!
This was an automatic result, in my case the power plan was Balanced, and as soon I clicked "Power saver", the fan went silent. I did reduced the Maximum processor state to 85% to observe the effects in the next few days. Thank you!
Better question is there a powershell script you can run to easily swap between them. So for example create a shortcut to each powershell script A) no noise B) higher noise gaming. So you can just double click them. Cause nobody will want to manually do this every time. Great video though/informational.
Oh my god dude you're a life saver😭 my laptop has gone super quiet 😭 and seems a little bit faster. I can work on this PC now, and actually focus without the noise. I was even considering getting a new pc. It helped. Now will this bake my processor? I'm scared.
Thanks so much for this - tt worked instantly on my Lenovo laptop, which has been driving me nuts! I don't understand quite why this can't happen automatically, ie why the CPU doesn't draw as much power as is needed, rather than running constantly at full blast, but I'm very grateful for this fix. I set mine to 48%, as per your video. I might try increasing the % to see at what point the fan kicks back in. Or there again, I might just leave well alone!
I've been contemplating an upgrade from my Lenovo YOGA 900 to the new 940C so this video piqued my interest. There are many threads about fan noise on the new 940C, so out of curiosity, I tried slowing the processor energy to 50% on the 900. Unfortunately, it slowed down even the most basic operations.
Thanks! Now that it's more common to have videocalls it's annoying that you're the guy ruining the call with a vacuum like sound. I didn't know what to do and now that I checked that value was set as 100%.
I work for a large tech company and my fan would run high all the time ever since I got this laptop. I spoke with two different people from tech support and they had no idea how to fix it. In less than five minutes, problem solved! Thank you so much!
It doesn't really fix the problem though. Just kind of "hides it". For instance.. if you use programs like Adobe Illustrator in the office you will still need more CPU power cause ~48% just ain't gonna cut it. So you literally CAN'T get rid of that noise. Ever. Lenovo sucks.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! The fan has been driving me crazy. Weirdly, it would shut off when unplugged, but of course the battery would run out and I would need to plug it back in. Apparently it comes from charging the battery while plugged in that causes it to get to hot. I followed your instructions (so clear!) and it immediately helped. Hopefully that lasts.
Thank you very mach. I thought my laptop get bad or something, but it's the setting of windows. Actually, I upgraded my windows 10, and this thing appeared immediately after that.
Thanks so much. The constantly noisy fan on my ideapad 510s has annoyed me for years. It's silent now and I don't even mind if I have potentially lost a bit of performance.
I work in a very quiet room so my stress level would also rise every 2 seconds that my fan decided to throttle for whatever reason and I almost banged my head into the screen...this change of settings helped a lot but literally killed the speed...so it takes ages for a page to load on Google Chrome...I will use this solution until I find a different solution
This problem is because of thermal paste pump out. Part of the chip(for example imc) is hot even if the temperature shows as normal. To fix this you need new thermal paste that don't pump easily.
it's cooling off, so still to be tested, but thanks so much for the video. i was ready to replace my beloved orange yoga 3 pro. hoping this is the fix!
Just bought a Lenovo Ideapad 3 and it's making quite a bit of noise. Thank you for this video. Is it normal for these laptops' fans to do such loud noises right after unboxing?
Anyone know why my computer wouldn't have all the settings that shows up in the video once I go into the Advanced Settings? I only have Desktop, Sleep, Display & Battery. : / Do I have to go into the control panel to have access to the other options? This fan is legit the worst thing ever. Never buying a fricken lenovo again. Lesson learned.
READ THIS! IN MY P73, IF I LEFT CLICK ON THE BATTERY ICON, LOWER RIGHT, I CAN SET PERFORMANCE TO HI, MIDIUM OR LOW. FAN LOUDNESS DROPS ACORDINGLY. So when watching a video, I can turn it all the way down, and FANS GOES VERY QUIET. If I use Autocad and Photoshop, I go to max performance and loud fan (NO escape form this). >>>>IMPORTANT NOTE: If you set you setting to low performance and do heavy stuff, the computer may turn off due to overheating. SO it is important to set the fan according to your needs. Not a perfect solution, but it is like having a ON/OFF switch for the fan. Lenovo should have a much smarter fan control that knows when fans needs to go full blast, and when it needs to be quiet. Hope this helps.
omg thank you so much! it’s soo much quieter, before i use to literally want to die doing homework and concentrating whilst the fan played so loud

it doesn't damage anything, its simply like going 50 mph instead of 75 mph on the highway
Dude, wow, it actually worked! it was so loud, I changed it down to 40% and the fan was sometimes on, but way quieter! thanks

Hi, i also have lenovo laptop and it's kinda noisy. Did it turn out just well?
@@ukulelaine8342 It works to reduce noise but she complained about the lack of power and speed afterwards so I had to turn performance back up.

I bought a Lenova desktop two weeks ago and the fan sounds like a jet engine already. I'll never buy Lenova again.

Awesome! Fan speed is down so looking forward to try this out for a while and check the performance!! 🙏
tell me bro what happened to the performance?

same problem- have you found a solution yet?
@@beepboop_ There is a software called TPFancontrol which fixed it for me on smart settings.
Recently got my Lenovo Legion 7i Slim - and I noticed fan noise even if I only browsing the internet. This works for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! You saved me from having to pay a bunch of money and helped me out immensly
This was an automatic result, in my case the power plan was Balanced, and as soon I clicked "Power saver", the fan went silent. I did reduced the Maximum processor state to 85% to observe the effects in the next few days. Thank you!
Great suggestion. Most casual users don't need the full power performance from CPU.
This helped a lot. even when it was idle i could hear it from the other room
Very happy that this worked. Got very loud after the last update.
Thank you for your very clear, very concise video!
Great video!!! Helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
I've been searching and searching thankyou this worked keep up the work

So you can just double click them. Cause nobody will want to manually do this every time. Great video though/informational.
The power profiles can be displayed on the task bar tray, to be swapped easily
Wow, such a silence!! Thank you.

thank you so much! this worked! wish I had done this years ago. Other solutions did nothing.
IT FREAKING WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thaks!
This helped a lot. Was wonderigng why my Thinkpad sounded like a jet and got hot
Fingers crossed this will work on my RTX 4080 laptop because the noise really annoys me even with all the applications turned off it's breathing.
This really worked . Thanks . Temperature is also maintained now

Awesome fix. You saved me some money. Thank you Poolarity
Thankyou so much brother...🙏❤️
Thank u so much. Also bought a notebook support and its less noise.
