^^ nope.. or atleast not exactly is what the dell blogger is saying.

according to here its not a permanent increase in fan speed. Also, she claims that battery life is not affected by this.

what does matter however is that, unlike nv's claims of the issue only affecting HP lappies, Dell has come out into the open and claimed that this issue affects multiple manufacturers.

nd at the end of the day, this 'fix' is nothing but a workaround which's gonna delay the inevitable.

It's mentioned there that udated bios '' modifies fan profile '' settings. So its actually fan fix which on high rpm will eat power & hence battery life..:D:

have you used this bios update?

have you seen higher power consumption first hand?

have you seen your battery life go down.

stop making posts as if you have done things first hand and know everything. more importantly stop using those smileys which convey that you know stuff which others dont.

if you know stuff then please make sure you back it up with proper proof.

when i say that according to dell the fan spinning is not going to waste the battery, i mention that it was said so by a dell rep in that particular post.

i dont go about posting like

*** Fan wont spin all the time.. :ohyeah:

battery wont get drained.. :bleh:

battery life will not get affected...:rofl::rofl:***

ps-those are the smileys you keep using all the time. when taken in context with your posts all over the forum, it is extremely aggravating. even more so when you go about contesting the posts made by the *gurus* over here. people who actually do the stuff which you talk about.

please try to have some logic in your posts. if you want to post about some fact, make sure you back up the same with *proof*.

everyone here knows that you are an ATI supporter. you really dont need to rub that into each and every post of yours.
 
It is the 80-20 rule. Switching on the fan will not consume too much power if done judiciously. Switching it off will not save too much power either.
 
What this update will do is delay/push the problem out of your warranty period..So dell doesnt hav to spent the moolah..
Its a smart move by dell..While we think its soo good of a company to come out in the open with the problems, they are actually minimising their risk..

I came across this few days ago..But didnt use and post for the same reason..
 
less heat = less power consumption, simple law, TDP, Ohm's law ?? :P

Matty @ Intel:

Yes, the power consumption is reduced when the temperature of the processor is lowered.

There are many things that happen in a CPU when the temperature is changed and to elaborate further on the processor specific causes we have to look at the origin of the power consumption. We can divide the total consumed power into two main parts, static power (Ps) and dynamic power (Pd).

The static power consumption is what we usually call the leakage. In an ideal transistor, it should completely shut off the channel between the source-drain, gate-source and gate-drain. Transistors are far from ideal, and the current leaks between these parts and the substrate of the processor, and this is heavily dependent on the temperature.

For example, going from room temperature to 85C (~60C difference) increases the leakage power by a factor of more than 50. Thus, reducing the temperature with the same amount will make a huge impact on Ps.

Dynamic power consumption is emitted during the short amount of time that the transistor switches. Lower temperature reduces the resistance in the processor which results in shorter delay/faster switching of the transistors. Shorter delays and less noisy signals also reduce Pd.

I hope this explanation give you some clarity to the relation between power consumption and temperature. This can even be seen with air cooling: The power consumption is lower just after a load is applied compared to after a while when the temperature has levelled out, even though the load is the same.
