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 1):
A computer system for reducing noise from a cooling fan, comprising:\n a processing unit for setting an operating mode of the computer system to one of a normal mode and a low noise mode according to a selection signal, wherein the processing unit has an operating temperature; a temperature detecting unit for measuring the operating temperature; a fan unit conducive to dissipation of heat from the processing unit; and a fan control unit coupled to the fan unit and the processing unit and controlled by the processing unit, wherein, in the normal mode, the fan control unit adjusts a rotational speed of the fan unit according to the operating temperature, and the processing unit starts an overheat protection mechanism when the operating temperature reaches a first threshold, wherein, in the low noise mode, the fan control unit shuts down the fan unit, and the processing unit starts the overheat protection mechanism when the operating temperature reaches a second threshold, the second threshold being lower than the first threshold.
