I was in a situation where when I would scroll or navigate through Google Drive, there would be a slowdown while a fan that had been silent revved up. It would also keep me awake at night.
So today I researched it and ended up taking all my fans off of "smart fan" in the bios and just setting them all at 100% all the time.
Goodbye slowdown. I can flip around through apps and web pages without that delay that drove me up the wall.
But now, even though I have all SSD, I have not realized the dream of a quiet PC.
Is there a way to have the best of both worlds or am I now stuck with this constant loud purring because I want responsive web pages and apps, etc?

If a computer fan is making an annoying noise, it is often also the case that the computer is running hotter than it needs to run due to a mechanical problem with a worn out fan. Replacing the fan not only eliminates the noise, but may also lower your computer's temperatures because the replacement fan may also run faster in addition to running more quietly.
