[Pop_OS] Laptop's fan goes loud on lid open

Linux@lemmy.ml – 21 points – 5 months ago

I installed Pop_OS in place of ubuntu last week, and loving it so far. Most things worked out-of-the-box, but there is this one thing that has been bothering me.

Whenever I open the lid of my laptop, the fan goes crazy and becomes very loud. Strangely, changing the battery option to "High Performance" seems to silence it. Why is this happening, and how can I remedy this issue?

My laptop is ASUS ROG Zephyrus, and yes I should not have chosen this one.

You could use the system Monitor, it is built-in.

Ah, it seems to briefly spikes to 100%, then dies down later.

So the fans stay loud even when cpu load is low again?

If not this could just be some kinds of "dust prevention"

Yeah, it stays loud until I change the battery settings.
