> but not as good (often) as on Windows Most likely he hasn't configured and tested whether Bumblebee or bbswitch properly disables Nvidia GPU when not used. After doing this at my side my fans are managed not worser than in Windows.
> On the other hand, the i7 model has this fans problem, see my bug I've created on bugzilla Understand then. Unfortunately I have no i7 model to test :( > Also battery lasts less on Linux than on Windows. From mine point of view, buying this model was a big mistake for Linux usage. If Nvidia is properly shutted down, the only big issue lasted is a bad Skylake power management in Linux (going no deeper than package c-state 3), but then almost any Skylake laptop is not the best choice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602888 Title: Dell Inspiron 7559 fans do not shut off once started, even when cool Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop there appears to be an issue with the fan control. When I first boot up the machine the fans are off. However, after the laptop warms up under normal usage, the fans kick on and then never shut off again. Even when the CPU cools down to below 35c, the fans will continue to run. If I suspend the the laptop, and then immediately wake it up again then fans are once again off, until it warms up again. So essentially, once the fans start they don't seem to ever shut off. Fans seem to work normally under Windows 10. They turn on as needed, and then turn off once the laptop cools down. I've tried the various BIOS updates that Dell has released, without success. I am currently running Dell's latest BIOS for this laptop (v1.1.8) Below is the output of lm-sensors showing the fans running when the CPU is at a cool 35c dell_smm-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device Processor Fan: 1925 RPM Processor Fan: 2143 RPM CPU: +35.0°C GPU: +1.0°C SODIMM: +49.0°C ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-4.4.0-28-generic 4.4.0-28.47 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-28.47-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-28-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: bob 1709 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jul 13 19:18:45 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=14de580b-76f3-47e4-9850-fe7637f9ff77 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-13 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
