You're experiencing unusual fan behavior on Ubuntu. There are tools available to adjust fan speeds based on temperature thresholds. Consider using a driver or utility that allows setting custom fan curves or thresholds.

Which fan is being discussed? The temperature is measured around 70% (already quite loud) at 60°C.

Everyone cheered loudly whenever the temperature rose above 60°C.

It makes sense the fans speed up when temperature rises because it helps cool the system more efficiently.

You had to boost the engine speed during the 0-60 second acceleration.

The fan that spins quickly at temperatures above 60°C is likely a cooling fan designed for high-temperature environments.

The information is intended for Arch Linux, though it often helps other distributions as well. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fan_speed_control EDIT: On different systems, managing fans might not always be feasible. Give it a try. If it fails, consider other options for your setup.

Also check your BIOS configuration. It's probable your fans are managed through the BIOS and fan curve adjustments aren't optimized (taking acoustics into account). Activating software-based fan control only makes sense if BIOS options are minimal and you truly require it. Be cautious about system hangs when the processor runs at full load—if fan control software fails, fans won't increase accordingly.
