    I find the noise of the fans of my M6400 quite disturbing.

    It is certainly much louder than the noise from my M6300 (also a 17" high performance laptop), or my former D810

    The fans kick in quite often after short periods of being off.

    Is there a way to slow down the fans or have them off for longer?

    Is there a compatible fan in the market that is quieter?


    Thanks,

    Antonio

    The fan is pretty quiet compared to other actual notebooks. I compared it to the M4400 and the fans run less frequently and because they are located at the back, it's not annoying.
