Yeah I'll have a look into it, not gonna bother touching the gpu though as it works fine ... View more

Hi thanks for the reply, it's just that my cpu will regularly hit 95-99 degrees c. And I watched a few videos on it and people were undervolting and underclocking and showing how it dropped the temperature by up to 30 degrees without hindering the performance too much because it stops thermal throttling          ...

Hi so I've watched videos and apparently my cpu is known to get really hot so what people do is undervolt it using thermal stop, but obviously you can't have thermal stop and xtu at the same time but I can't uninstall xtu because when I try open my command centre for the laptop I get the error NET framework XTU3 and it won't let me use control centre until I've reinstalled xtu, but I've noticed even after I uninstall xtu there are files that remain in my program files folder of which date back to 2018, do you have any suggestions? Thanks  ... View more

Do you mean a cooling pad that you plug in that sits under your laptop? ... View more

I've done all the necessary and optional windows and driver updates and it has made no difference to the fan noise whatsoever and the performance is likely the same   Do you have any other suggestions?   Also im pretty sure it has had a pretty recent clean as the guy I bought it off said it has and he was a really genuine bloke      ...

Hi thank you for your reply, i closed a lot of the background processes and got a new benchmark which was much better i also did one in 3d mark, I will provide the results for them both as im not quite sure if theyre up to scratch or not but I think they are. I am slightly concerned though as I took another 3d mark test later on and i ensured that the only application open was 3d mark and my score had dropped by 800 overall?   I am not a complete noobie lol and im actually an IT student but was just wondering if this was a known problem with this computer so I understand what you're saying about reapplying thermal paste but the laptop is only a year old so surely it shouldnt need this yet?   It does actually have a windows update that needs doing so I will try doing it just to see if it actually increases the performance or temperature. I also noticed that there was driver updates of which windows reccomended my to try, i'm not sure if these are required ones or just reinstalls/ones which could potentially fix an issue though.   Another thing i've noticed is that when i'm just browsing chrome and I can hear the fans, sometimes theyll randomly go significantly quieter to a tolerable level and then go a lot louder out of nowhere for no reason. My GPU seems to be always at 50% fan speed  when im in the browser even when its at 1% utilisation, obviously when i play a game it gets even louder.   My main concern is the heat, the incredibly loud fans dont even seem to be doing their job very well, I ran warframe for about half an hour with nothing open but maybe a chrome tab in the background. The settings were on auto which I believe was 1080 low, but after half an hour my gpu was running at 75 degrees C and my cpu was at 95. Warframe isnt necessarily an overly demanding game anyway so I was shocked to see how hot it got in such a short amount of time so I had to stop playing. Im also pretty sure both fans were at 100% at this time   Is there anything I can do about the heat? I am very concerned about it, what if I want to play cod for an hour? 😂😶 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/58103109? Https://Www.Userbenchmark.com/userrun/39645559           ... View more
