I've been checking my fan speed, and it sits around 2500 to 2900 RPM even when my computer is idling and the CPU temp is just 44°C. The noise from the fan is starting to bug me! Should I use software like FanControl to adjust my fan speed, or should I dive into the BIOS for that? What's the best approach to setting a target for fan speed?

Absolutely, you should think about adjusting that fan speed. For general usage, you don’t need it running that fast while idling. If it makes a lot of noise, try bringing it down to around 600 RPM. That should keep your CPU cool without all the racket. You might want to aim for a maximum temperature of about 50°C while idling, so dropping the speed could help with that too. Let me know if you need more details on how to do it!
Are you suggesting I can make these adjustments in the BIOS? How exactly does that work?
