    Hello. I recently bought an HP OMEN 17-w211ng laptop. His biggest downside is the fan volume, on the desktop it is hard to withstand and playing the game is buzzing like a turbine.

    HP OMEN 17-w211ng Laptop: How to Reduce Fan Noise & Speed on Desktop or While Gaming

    I have no idea how I can reduce the speed of one fan, maybe someone will help me here.

    Thanks in advance!

    Enter the BIOS (in HP at loss of the board press - F10 or Esc and then option F10) and look for the cooling settings. FAN SETTING or something like that and check if it is turned on, e.g. FULL ON.
    I don't know this BIOS, so the hint is an example.
    If you do not find anything like this, restore the default settings in the BIOS and if it does not help, use the WARRANTY.

    The main question for the author.
    Have you bought a new laptop (from the store) or new one for you (i.e. used)?

    From what he writes about this model link

    Quote:
    Gets hot and noisy;

    Model test link
    - at the very bottom is the fan (Lüfter), the figure shows the volume graph in three operating states,
    * if the ambient noise (as measurement reference = 30dB (A) then this model at rest generates noise about 34> max 52dB (A)
    And what to cool.!

    Check in the store if this new one works similarly. (Loud)

    Freshly unpacked and running was barely audible, after the update everything started, maybe it's the fault of the drivers, I will go home, uninstall the graphics card drivers and win something older, and the knife will work.

    This information should have been placed in the opening post. It changes things a little bit.

    See if anything is working in the background. I had such a case that on Win10 something in the background was loading the processor and running at a higher clock speed - automatic cooling was running at a higher speed. Another thing is that the I7 in a laptop and cooling must be good.

    In the background, nothing works, on the desktop itself the situation looks like this:

    I tried to remove and install new graphics drivers, nothing has changed, and maybe even unnecessary. I removed the HP CoolSense program, so I didn't install anything.


    My BIOS looks like this:

    By changing Fan Olways On to Disabled or Enabled nothing happens either.

    Temp. in Idle as normal as possible.

    Post a screen from Process Explorer, say after 30 minutes. from turning on the laptop and immediately from HWiNFO64 (sensors only).

    Everything is OK when it comes to temperatures.

    So I understand that there is nothing to worry about this one fan where it shows 20RPM?

FAQ

TL;DR: HP OMEN 17-w211ng fans measure about 34–52 dB(A) and one reviewer noted it “gets hot and noisy.” If yours roars at idle, check BIOS cooling settings, background loads, or consider warranty if new. [Elektroda, lisek, post #16667669]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps new OMEN 17 owners quickly quiet desktop fan noise and decide when service is justified.

Quick Facts

How do I lower HP OMEN 17 fan noise on the desktop quickly?

Enter BIOS (Esc → F10). Restore BIOS defaults, then toggle Fan Always On to your preference. Save and reboot. If noise persists at idle, check Windows for background loads and consider warranty if the unit is new. [Elektroda, cezaro2, post #16667318]

What noise levels are typical for the OMEN 17-w211ng?

Independent testing on this generation reports roughly 34 dB(A) at idle and up to about 52 dB(A) under load, which users perceive as clearly audible. This aligns with comments that the unit can get “hot and noisy.” [Test HP Omen 17 (Pascal)]

Is a 20 RPM fan reading a problem on this model?

No. That near-zero value is a sensor/reporting quirk and not a failure indicator. If temperatures are normal, you can ignore it. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16672123]

Are my temperatures normal even if the fans seem loud?

If HWiNFO64 shows normal idle and gaming temperatures for CPU/GPU, the system is operating within spec. As one expert noted, “Everything is OK when it comes to temperatures.” [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16672087]

Could recent Windows or driver updates cause louder fans at idle?

Yes. After updates, GPU/CPU drivers may change power states, raising idle clocks and fan speeds. Rolling back graphics drivers or updating again can help. [Elektroda, konraduch, post #16667805]

What background tasks should I check when fans won’t calm down?

Open Task Manager or Process Explorer and watch CPU usage over time. Indexing, updates, or security scans can hold clocks high and keep fans spinning faster. Close or reschedule them. [Elektroda, jacekczel, post #16671166]

How do I enter the HP BIOS to adjust cooling options?

On boot, press Esc, then select F10 for BIOS Setup. Look for Cooling/Fan settings such as Fan Always On. Save changes before exiting. [Elektroda, cezaro2, post #16667318]

What if changing “Fan Always On” in BIOS does nothing?

Some units show no audible difference after toggling this option. That’s an edge case tied to firmware or fan curve design. If idle noise remains high, proceed with software checks or warranty. [Elektroda, konraduch, post #16671773]

Should I return a brand‑new laptop that’s loud at idle?

Yes. If it’s new from the store and unreasonably loud even after basic checks, pursue a warranty return or exchange promptly. [Elektroda, RADU23, post #16667536]

How do I monitor temps and fan behavior accurately?

Install HWiNFO64 (Sensors-only) and Process Explorer. Observe CPU/GPU temps, clocks, and loads after 30 minutes idle and during gameplay to compare behavior. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16671775]

Is turbine-like buzzing during games expected on the OMEN 17?

Under gaming loads, higher fan speeds are expected. Reviews and user reports note audible noise during load on this chassis. [Elektroda, lisek, post #16667669]

My unit was quiet out of the box but got loud after updates—what next?

Try clean-installing or rolling back GPU drivers, then retest idle noise. If behavior changed only after updates, driver state is a strong suspect. [Elektroda, konraduch, post #16667805]

What is HWiNFO64, and why use it here?

HWiNFO64 is a sensor monitoring tool that logs CPU/GPU temperatures, clocks, and fan readings, helping verify actual thermal behavior. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16671775]

Three-step how-to: reduce desktop fan noise fast

  1. Reboot, press Esc → F10, and Load Setup Defaults. 2. Locate Cooling and toggle Fan Always On. 3. Save, reboot, and recheck idle acoustics. [Elektroda, cezaro2, post #16667318]

When should I stop troubleshooting and use warranty?

If the laptop is new and still loud at idle after BIOS reset and software checks, do not delay—request service or exchange. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16667317]
