I did find response a little frustrating. Hello MiniManiac, thank you for the research and thoughtful insights. This may have already resolved my problems. When I paused the video I heard no loud fans. The audio of the YouTube (the smart and beautiful Pratima Adhikari) drowned out all fan noise. I also added in a Quick Defender scan at the same time.) So I opened YouTube and played a 1080p60 video off YouTube.

While I currently type with the computer otherwise idle I'm at 36 degrees. It's on - but it sounds like it's 8 feet away from me instead of 2. I can report right now that the fan's pitch is much lower. According to those notes above it slows down the fan. I have already changed 'Fan Start PWM' to 50 instead of 60. I'm going to proceed cautiously and report back. Since it is my opinion the fan is on too much, I'm going to try to find out if that person's opinion is accurate. Minisforum - do you fear that the unit will burn out if not kept in the high 30s low 40s?

But otherwise - lighter activties may simply not require such dramatic and noisy fans responses. I suspect in gaming and video editing and heavy CPU loads - you want it as cool as possible. That it is maybe extreme to keep it in the 30s to 40s at all times. Now, this 'Jesse' person in that thread believes (it is Jesse's opinion) that keeping a system below 60C is not necessary. Mine should be yours and mine are at the top of this thread. Secondly, keep a snapshot of the default settings of your BIOS. (Ditch = reboot back into BIOS and put that setting back where it was!) The reason why is if your system SPIKES and becomes WAY TOO HOT you need to see it coming and DITCH. Now, before anyone messes with any of these - I highly recommend opening Task Manager, clicking the PERFORMANCE tab, and making this part visible at all times during experimentation. So be VERY VERY CAUTIOUS about the info contained in the following image. Just because this information is here doesn't mean it is accurate.
