Newish Asus ROG G750JW w/ 860M (around one month old).
Issue, any time the system goes idle the CPU fan noticeably spins up.
Steps to replicate:
1) Open task manager.
2) Sort process stack by CPU use.
3) Watch system go idle.
4) Watch system process utilize 18-25% of CPU until next keypress.
The issue I am experiencing seems similar to this post:
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?37780-does-your-g750-do-this-too-please-testIs there a fix for this? Great laptop, mildly annoying that the fans consistently spin up when the device *should* be idle. Every single time I am not actively working on the laptop for a few minutes, same result. I noticed the behavior bone stock on day zero with the laptop.
The first thing I do when I use buy a ASUS laptop is use ASUS backtracker to make a recovery disk. Post purchase I added a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM, 24GB total (I run VMware Workstation and multiple operating systems so the RAM is critical.)
This behavior persists after a clean install from the ASUS recovery to a new SSD. The post above is worrisome, leads me to believe ASUS is shipping laptops with either a poor software or driver configuration. Is there a work around? A fix?
