OMEN Laptop - 15-dh1067tx
Linux

Hi,

This model has 24 GB RAM, Intel© Core™ i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz × 6 processor, and a NVIDIA Corporation TU106M [GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile / Max-Q Refresh] graphics card, with a 300Hz refresh rate.

 

About a year ago the laptop started acting up, overheating with a loud fan noise. 

I serviced the laptop and got the battery replaced.

A few months after that, the performance ran fine. But after a while, the same issues persisted, and the battery consumption rate had actually increased. I needed to keep my laptop charged at all times because after 20-30 minutes of use it would already be running low. And while charging, it would always stall at a certain percentage - like at 1% or 17% - before shooting up to 100%.

 

I don't really use this laptop for heavy gaming, I mostly play Minecraft and Roblox. When I had first bought the laptop it ran pretty well, I could get ~60 fps for Minecraft on a Windows OS. But as of right now, I only get around ~30 fps.

So I switched my OS from Windows to Linux and the fps actually increased. I could run MInecraft at ~120 fps. However if I set my frame rate to unlimited, I get a really inconsistent frame rate and it shows that the GPU is running at 100% for much longer of a time. Would this be related?

When I start up my laptop it has a temperature of ~35 C. When I run MInecraft it can spike to 65 C. The highest it has ever reached was ~75 C. Is this normal with laptops of this age? Or is this a software/hardware issue?
