Can a macbook stop the fan at low temperatures?

I bought a Macbook pro retina early 2015 laptop, it's two weeks old. Installed the Macs Fan Control application to monitor the temperature and fan speed. Yesterday I noticed that there is 0 rpm in automatic mode. If you set the speed to manual mode, then everything spins, the vacuum cleaner works, but if you set the machine, then again 0. If you start a toy, for example Diablo 3, the fan starts to spin, and the program shows adequate 4000 rpm. Actually the question is, can a macbook turn off the fan at low temperatures, or is it a jamb and you have to go to the store and present a marriage?

Yes, of course, in my everyday state it is turned off, when I start something heavier, it turns on.

MacBooks have an excellent heat sink, the fan only spins when it is really needed. Especially the discrete vidyahi fan is generally an airplane. You just feel when the laptop starts to work at full capacity. And so in the standard mode it is never heard, especially if it also stands on a cold surface with high heat transfer.

To be honest, I have never met a MacBook whose fans would completely stop, there is a minimum speed (2000) you can set higher by hand, but what would be less or as everyone here writes to "0", zero will be if he falls asleep ... and so it always works at low rpm.

I worked in a workshop there were a lot of laptops, most of them had such a stop function. (Battery saving after all, 4 power wiring and control, etc.) I don’t know
about new poppies (but most likely it should be)
white 6.1 / 7.1 2009/2010 there is no fan stop function at all, I think the old C2D has Core i and there is no lower
