When system is put in suspend mode, the PWM feature controlling the fan speed is stopped. The fans will either spin at their lowest speed ([Batch 1 fan](/pwm/#old-fan-batch-1)) or stop spinning ([Batch 2 fan](/pwm/#new-fan-batch-2)). In the latest case, while this is not an issue for the SoC itself which is designed to run with passive cooling, it might have a negative impact on the HDD peripherals because the ambient temperature inside the case will rise.
