Thanks, Peter.

Yes, switched to Intel using prime-select. All other settings are pretty much the same as yours according to the screenshot, but I'm really not seeing much difference. I do notice the fans eventually shut of after a long time, and stay off for a short period, but then they start back up again. So -maybe- it's a little better than before. But can't be sure because the ambient room temp is a lot cooler since last time I tried.

Either way still not even close to Windows. Under Windows the fans hardly ever turn on - only when I stress the CPU, and then they're off again as soon as CPU load decreases.

One difference I do notice is that for /cat/proc/cmdline you have vt.handoff=7. I don't have this parameter, but I think this just has something to do with the boot up display - so probably doesn't mean anything.

Another difference is that you are using Mint and I have Ubuntu.
