    • Sound OK from phone
    • Problem turned out to be in the bios. I had enabled the fan's performance mode. This caused the fan to stay at full speed operation. I force cleaned both the GPU and CPU fans with a vacuum cleaner in blow mode. Then I disabled the Fan Performance mode in the browser.
    • The fan works much better. It only speeds up when the GPUs are being exercised fully and the GPU starts to heats up. This is expected and tolerable. The fans do a good job of keeping the CPU and GPUs at acceptable operating temperature.
    • Since the fans are usually at low speed, there is no sound issue in Zoom.

Action items

  • Jim D. to play around with JIRA.
  • Install JIRA and Postgres on more team members' PCs.
