Here is link for chinese sony site. There is a new bios firmware.
It's for new S5 series, but I checked it on my s4xrp and it's work.

As I understood they change the temperature when fan begins to work from 55 to 47 C (or 48 Also they reduced voltage or something so fan becomes more quiet.

So now it works practically all the way, but very-very quiet, practically unnoticeable even in absolute quiet room.

Working temperature falls from usual for me 54 to 47 degrees in everyday work, and doesn't exceed over 60 even during Prime95 torture test

The only question is - do I have to expect any problems because of using firmware not exactly for my machine?
