Ok, first of all I’ve got to say after owning my S260 for now 3 weeks, I love it.  However, I’m just not use to a laptop generating fan noise and it bothers me.  When the laptop is using battery (because of my power management settings) it almost never comes on.  I’m very pleased with the noise when on battery.  The only time I hear something is when I play a game by using the CD drive.  However, whenever the S260 is plugged in, the fan runs almost constantly.  This is distracting to me, not that it’s loud, but it’s noticeable enough as it sits on my desk right next to my desktop and it gets annoying especially when I’m writing a paper or needing to concentrate.  I don’t understand why the fan is going because nothing is running, it’s just sitting there with the lid open - that’s it.  So, I tried adjusting the power management settings, and still can’t get the fan noise to silence.  I even adjusted the settings to Quiet under the fan noise, and made the laptop adaptive rather than performance.  The only thing that seems to make a difference is if I adjust the settings to about the same level as the laptop when it’s on battery (which includes the lcd brightness way down).

This seems crazy, I don’t want to have to have my laptop on power savings when it’s plugged in, but I also don’t want constant fan noise.  Has anyone figured out a way to adjust their settings to keep the fan from coming on constantly?  I don’t mind it coming on periodically, but just don’t want it running all the time!  I would love to hear some suggestions to improve the fan noise issue because this is my ONLY complaint!
