The sound of my notebook’s fan is too loud.
Use the PowerPanel™ utility to change the Thermal Control Strategy setting to
Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU speed. See PowerPanel Help for more

Why does the System Properties dialog box display a slower CPU speed than
advertised?
This is normal. Because your computer’s CPU utilizes a type of CPU speed
controlling technology, System Properties may display the CPU’s current speed
instead of the maximum advertised speed.
