How such a device passes basic QA is beyond me. If I cannot solve this soon I will have to RMA this machine because the idle noise goes simply beyond what I have ever witnessed in any laptop (gaming or other) that I have ever worked with or owned. So my question is, is there any way to configure this laptop to ONLY actually start kicking in the fans on full blast when the CPU starts to get warm / hot? Or at least is there some middle ground to Asus Armoury that can make the fan semi silent so I can run on CPU clock rates above 1.4 ghz, at least while in windows? I would be content with capping the CPU at say, 2.2-2.4 ghz. And to do so it runs full near full blast from the getgo. My understanding is that CPU's, even on laptops should comfortably be able to run up to 60-70 degrees before the fans go on full blast. So what I find bizarre is that the ASUS FX705DY fan wont even allow the CPU temperature to reach 50 degrees. Now my old G750jw virtually always gets warm or even hot even when just running windows. Here is the interesting thing: I left the fan on balanced (noisy) mode, used the FX705DY for about 20 minutes and then put my hand underneath it. While the fan became silent, my CPU was axed down from over 3ghz to 1.4ghz which of course affected performance and responsiveness, which is also unacceptable. To remedy this problem I went into Asus Armoury to set the fan to silent mode. However the G750jw is SILENT for the most part in windows even 6 years after purchase, much unlike this new FX705DY which is screaming the whole time. To give an idea of how loud this base noise is, I can say that its as loud as my old Asus G750jw when the latter is under full load, namely running games. So it seems that this fan is the "base noise" of the laptop even whent its idle.
Upon entering windows and seeing that the CPU was idle (1-3% usage) the fan noise never let up - it stayed loud. I have just purchsed a new ASUS FX705DY laptop and the CPU fan has been exceedingly loud from the first time I turned it on.
