If you update your BIOS with v1.34 maybe you find that your CPU fan works all the time at max speed. Unfortunately, the autoexec.bat included in the download file does not save your BIOS before flashing, so you may find with a noisy CPU and no way back. This version is unavailable from the Medion website since the new one was released.
