    I upgraded to the new A14 BIOS version today.
    It seems that the fan rules are the same as before. As soon as the chipset/NB temperature reaches 50C, the fan starts spinning at the high 4800 RPM mode.

    This is really annoying. Summer is coming and my laptop has already once reached 50C chipset temperature just be showing a video clip for ~30 mins with ~30% CPU.

    I can confirm that. However, it took me a lot a time and effort to reach that temperature.
