Apologies for delay, I wanted to recreate initial conditions as best as possible but with newer kernel (Linux 111 3.19.0-031900rc7-generic).
Unfortunately, that potential WORKAROUND does not appear to help address the fan noise level. The only thing I note is that System Monitor > CPU History is now allowed to break 25% barrier (previously one CPU would be at 100% while the others rested, now they take on greater cumulative load if pushed). Perhaps --governor=powersave is higher than default or my evidence is too anecdotal. Other notes: 1- It seems fan noise definitely more of a problem when using an external display (is screen still on or does it simply act as a blanket when covering laptop body?). Actually, with total load <25% and laptop open with external display, fan noise very quickly a problem! This may actually be one underlying issue?? But problem still exists without external display. 2- If I "Suspend" for even 5 seconds, fan noise is greatly reduced on "UnSuspend" (is this simply physics or the system?). 3- It seems that once fan noise up, system cannot reduce by itself. But "Suspend" resets a trigger.
