Dell precision M4800 fan noise at fan start from 0 to 2100 rpm with config 0 -> config 1 #41

Description

Because the config has 0 for 0 rpm when it switched to config 1 it goes from 0 to 2100 rpm and makes a noise. This happens frequently.

To overcome this I set in /etc/i8kmon.conf
set config(0) {{1 1} -1 65 -1 65}

In this way it keeps both fans at ~2100 rpm.

I tried
set status(leftspeed) "120 1000 2100 3300"
set status(rightspeed) "120 1000 2100 3300"

to keep the 0 status at 120 rpm not at 0 but it does not work.

Is there a better solution for this?
