Abstract:
A method and a computer system for reducing noise are provided. The method includes: setting the computer system's operating mode to normal mode or low-noise mode by a processing unit according to a selection signal; measuring an operating temperature of the processing unit; controlling a rotational speed of a fan unit conducive to dissipation of heat from the processing unit according to the operating temperature by a fan-control unit in normal mode; detecting the operating temperature according to a first threshold and starting an overheat-protection mechanism by the processing unit in normal mode when the operating temperature reaches the first threshold; shutting down the fan unit by the fan-control unit in low-noise mode; and detecting the operating temperature according to a second threshold lower than the first threshold and starting the overheat-protection mechanism by the processing unit in low-noise mode when the operating temperature reaches the second threshold.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for reducing noise from a cooling fan, the method being applicable to a computer system and comprising the steps of:\n setting an operating mode of the computer system to one of a normal mode and a low noise mode by a processing unit according to a selection signal; measuring an operating temperature of the processing unit; controlling a rotational speed of a fan unit conducive to dissipation of heat from the processing unit according to the operating temperature by a fan control unit in the normal mode; detecting the operating temperature according to a first threshold and starting an overheat protection mechanism by the processing unit in the normal mode when the operating temperature reaches the first threshold; shutting down the fan unit by the fan control unit in the low noise mode; and detecting the operating temperature according to a second threshold and starting the overheat protection mechanism by the processing unit in the low noise mode when the operating temperature reaches the second threshold, wherein the second threshold is lower than the first threshold.
