Description of problem: My Dell Inspiron 7520 (15R Special Edition) the CPU fan is running at its maximum speed most of the time. First, I thought it was the ATI Radeon 7730m card fan, but I have already turned the card off (via vga_switcheroo), and also set the power profile as 'low' I have i8kutils installed and running, and the output of the 'sensors' command tells me it is the processor fan that is running. I tested it on Windows, and the fan speed is quite normal there (i.e., it runs way less than on GNU/Linux). It is also important to mention that the fan eventually decreases its speed, though for a short period of time. The fan also turns on even when the computer is idle. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.10.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just use the computer normally 2. 3. Actual results: Fan runs most of the time with its maximum speed Expected results: Fan runs normally Additional info:
