ASUS laptops incorporate a feature known as Whisper Mode, which functions by reducing fan speed and CPU clock frequency. The intended outcome of this mode is to maintain cooler operating temperatures and minimize noise output from the device. The open-source ASUS Armoury Linux kernel driver is currently receiving patches aimed at providing proper support for Whisper Mode on Linux systems. This development, as reported by Phoronix, indicates progress in bringing these thermal and acoustic management capabilities, typically found in Windows environments, to Linux users running compatible ASUS hardware.
