Dell Precision 3660 - BIOS Image, Hidden Settings, Thermal Settings ?

[juergenb]

I got my self a new Dell Workstation (Dell Precision 3660, i5-13500).

Unfortunately, Dell has fixed the front fan´s settings in the BIOS.
Both the speed and the presence of the fan are fixed.

There seems to be no hidden setting.

The thermal tables for the speeds were changed in one of the last BIOS updates.

Do you see a possibility to change these tables from the BIOS update file?

Precision_3660_2.1.0 -> Release Notes

Updated the thermal table to reduce fan noise.
Updated Intel Management Engine firmware to version v.16.1.25.2128 to align with the version in Intel Best Known Configuration.

I can´t upload the files, so here are some links.

thanks

Hello,

I searched for the exact BIOS version 2.7.0 for my precision 3360 and found your post.
Unfortunately the Dell link is dead as well as all signs of this bios version on official dell website.

If you still have the executable, is there a way to send it to me?

Best Regards
