I don't know if the HP has a louder fan than the ASUS or not. I will probably try to modify fan profile and rebuild the BIOS to make it less obtrusive.
Edit: I also noticed my Lenovo wireless keyboard/mouse worked with the stock HP BIOS / firmware, but doesn't with the Coreboot one.
yeah, I don't think it's ever completely silent, but the HP could be using a different fan. Care to take it apart and snap a pic?
define "worked" - there's only a limited number of situations where you can make a direct comparison between the two. Are we talking at the SeaBIOS boot menu? in a specific OS?
