Why are the fans running despite G-Helper settings when temps are low?
Hello! I have made a battery saver profile in G-Helper (See the attached picture). It essentially should keep the fans running at all times, which I've set to keep the keyboard nice and cool during light tasks. But, as you can see in the picture, the fans will often spin faster than what I've set them to in G-Helper, even when the CPU/GPU temperature are very low. In the image, the mid fan was spinning at over 4400 RPM despite the CPU temperature being 34 degrees celsius and the GPU being 33 degrees. Currently, the CPU fan is spinning at 2400RPM at 35 degrees celsius, despite that the G-helper settings instructing them to stay below 2400RPM (specifically, at 1800RPM) until 59 degrees. Similarly, the fans will often stop spinning at temperatures higher than what I've set them to keep spinning at.
Does anyone know what is the cause of this? Is it some BIOS override of the G-Helper settings? I dont understand why that would kick in when the temperatures are not problematically high. Is there some sort of offset in the temperature readings that occurs over time (the laptop is 3 years old)
If relevant, this is a G16 model with the RTX 4060, R9 370 HX and 32GB RAM.
Looking forward to hearing about any insights and experience from you all!
