Global ENHANCEMENT(S): - Adds support for 90-watt combination adapter. - Improves thermal tables to minimize fan activity by changing the F10 Setup Utility "Fan Always On on AC" option to run the fan at 20 percent power instead of 40 percent power. (The recommended setting for this option is "Enable.") This change slows down the fan Power-On and Power-Off to reduce fan noise during a rapid temperature increase. |
