Comment on Dell Optiplex turning into turbine after load

See if there’s a cooling profile option in the BIOS. Maybe also run the Dell diagnostics. Might be something wrong with the fan tachometer.
Worst case, assuming the PWM is working properly, you could use a third-party application to control the fan speed.

There are no profiles, just an on/off switch. From what I’ve seen, there is also no way to control the fans from Windows (Linux somehow manages, though).

Dell power manager on my work laptop has profiles.
