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.
