Satellite C660 - 1 HL: how to reduce the fan noise?

After buying the C660 (1 HL) I'm especially glad of his duties - if it was the bad noise it emits.

I use laptops for 12 years, but this one is really annoying with every minute repeated with penetration hum of a fan, even if the laptop is in sleep mode.

I compared with a C650, who is often quiet and his fan, if being run, does not cause that kind of noise.
So far I found any kind of control for the fan, no driver or powermanagement setting, that I had before for example with a Satellite M70.

I always thought, technological development will bring improvements, but not the trouble of this kind.

Thanks for the tips of any solution

PS: I'm on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows 7 another possibility, while having this problem. BIOS is upgraded to V1.80

In Win 7 power management, cooling modules and the processor performance can be set down.

There you should find options like power management Toshiba Power Saver and processor that helps reduce the performance of the processor.
This would reduce the heat dissipation and temperature level.

  • Satellite C660 - 25 c - how to calibrate the battery

    Hello

    First of all, I apologize for my bad English.

    I would like to know the procedure to calibrate the battery of my Satellite c660 - 25 c.

    Thank you

    Sincerely, romat1993

    It's pretty easy.

    To calibrate the battery, it of necessary to charge the battery until the battery indicator indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    Then, unplug the AC adapter and keep the battery discharge until it s completely empty.
    Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery again.

    This procedure should be repeated two, three times in the line.

  • How to disable the fan completely - Satellite A10

    Hello

    I have an old laptop Toshiba A10. I use it because of the noisy fan. I would like to completely disable the or the fans. That will allow me to use the laptop on the lower CPU clock speed. I know that the fans are important for the cooling of the processor and hard drive. However, I'm not looking for advice or recommendations on how to limit or reduce the fan noise. To be clear, I want to completely disable the fans regardless of the consequences it may have for the laptop or any of its elements. Is it possible somehow to turn off the fans without opening the laptop and physically remove the fans...?

    Best for all
    Lanson

    RedHawk's right. There is no way to turn it off completely. It can be risky for the hardware of the laptop.
    I have old Satellite 1900 and fan is also strong enough. What you can do is to change the method of cooling in the Toshiba power settings.

    Put it in silent mode. I hope this helps a little.

  • How to reduce the size of the records Quicktime file?

    On my Mac, they take as much space as 1 GB for a film record or a screen for 2 minutes.

    iPad records take up much less space and are of a higher quality.

    Anyone know how to reduce the size of the file, or at least tell me why they use so much space? I have only 128 GB.

    A big thank you to you all, good people.

    I don't see that you can export out of other than QT. MOV

    but you can use an external converter

    While it is mainly used to convert video files to DVD it will also convert video files.

    I have a Satellite C660 - PSC0AQ-03C019 + 1B194392K

    For the last year laptop worked fine in the last 2 months, however he had a problem starting. The first starting attempt of the day, it does not start, it is consumed on gets in front of splash screens after the cursor flashing in the top left then hold with a blank screen (not the cursor just a low glow).

    Hold down the power button / turn off and turn on again then the computer will start. sometimes (not always), it will ask to start normally or repair.

    The laptop works perfectly in use does not fall out of mistakes. Restarting the laptop works as expected close and turn on/off after 5 minutes works great.

    If the laptop is left for an hour or more, it starts the same as above. turn off and turn on/off the system will start but with boot normally the question.

  • How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level

    Hello!

    How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level in ThinkPad T520?

    I think we can somehow, but I don't know how. I reduced the brightness to zero with the Fn button + button end, but this is not enough, I want to make the screen darker, because my eyes get tired.

    The last (from Lenovo) Intel graphics driver is here:
    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/MIGR-77038

    This should provide a decent lower limit on the brightness. If the installation complains about the non supported hardware, force the installation using the devices and Disk Manager. (Something like this: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/11997-have-disk-method-for-windows-7-vista/ )

    If this does not work, try f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/). It has a dimming function software (of course, he loses the contrast).
