It's possible that with the new SSD your CPU is actually doing more work because it can process what is being delivered to it quicker. Do the fans ever settle down after it's been sitting idle for a while? Did you clone or do a clean install? If it was a clean install I wouldn't be surprised if it is some power saving software that didn't get installed.
I just cloned into my SSD. It is a new laptop.
I noticed even at idle there is some Fan noise.
Also I don't think that the CPU will work more because the SSD is fast.Because pre configured laptops sold by manufactures with SSD pre-installed will not have this fan sounds or noise issues.
Not sure what is causing the fan to turn on for you, take a look at what power profile your laptop is using. Put it in balanced mode if it is currently on high performance. I am not familiar with HP's cooling software but poke around it a little (maybe even uninstall it altogether).
What I meant by the CPU working harder is actually true, but it's when you first boot up. A conventional laptop hard drive is slow enough that on boot when your computer is loading all the programs and processes right at the beginning your system runs really slow because the hard drive is jumping around doing all these little tasks. If you monitor your CPU usage it's barely doing anything at all because it's waiting on the HDD. After you throw in an SSD if you were to monitor your CPU usage on boot up you will see that it's working much harder because it no longer has to wait as much for the SSD to deliver the information for those processes. That's why I am curious if the fans slow down after you have been idling for a while and all the initial stuff has loaded.
You said that the laptops with SSD from the store do not have the fan issue, do you actually have one to test is against or just speculation?
