hello there,i have hp pavilion 580-101nv desktop for 3 years and the last months i noticed that gpu is high at temps when gaming is going likely 83-87c when i game.Yestrerday i bought a thermal paste to replace to put it in gpu,i cleaned too the gpu fan and cooler from dust and when i finished the thermal paste replacement i didnt see any difference the gpu is still high when gaming the only thing that changed is that gpu fan when is at high temps it going 2000PRM,before it was at 3600PRM when gaming at 85c.I changed too the psu because it had some black screens more ofter when browsing and not at gaming i dont know why i took the coolermaster mwe white 500w v2 and the fan is facing the gpu is it bad or not i dont know how the airflow works in that case.And what i can do to fix the gpu temp btw the cpu is very cool 32c when browsing and 45c when gaming so i dont know if the case is bad what should i do to fix it.

@Mike200221 Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the GPU temperature is high while playing the game.
I have a few steps to resolve this issue:
Symptoms of heat issues and causes of excessive heat
The following list describes some of the issues caused by overheating in the notebook:
-
Games stop responding during play.
-
Windows stops responding during use.
-
Fans inside the notebook become louder because they are spinning faster as the laptop gets hot, to remove the heat.
-
When starting the laptop, it sometimes stops at a black screen and does not open into Windows. Windows usually stop responding when it does open.
The following list describes some causes of excessive heat:
-
Dust inside the laptop.
-
A new component, such as a hard drive, is added. The extra component causes the power supply to work harder and generate more heat. Extra heat also radiates off the new component and adds to the temperature inside the case.
-
Over time, some cooling fans might slow down and wear out, as the laptop is getting hot, depending on the usage of the laptop.
-
High ambient room temperature.
Step 1: Removing dust and lint by cleaning vents
Step 2: Ensuring proper space for ventilation
Step 3: Updating the BIOS
Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology
Step 5: Placing the notebook in a cooler room
Step 6: Testing for hardware failure
If the hardware has failed, capture the failure ID and revert for further assistance.
If the Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly, PC is Warmer than Normal: Click here for more details.
