CPU temperatures reaching 98 degrees

[Rronin]

Product: OMEN by HP Laptop 15-dc1xxx

Operating System: Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit

My CPU gets very hot and i am sure this isn't normal for this model of laptop.

Firstly i was playing Forza horizon 4 and the CPU temperature reached 98 degrees Celsius, while the GPU was around 65 degrees,

I am sure this isn't normal as it seems very high, on these occasions there was nothing wrong with the airflow, and there weren't any obstructions to the vents, i know that the CPU's max temp is 100 degrees, and it gets very close to this constantly under load, so i think there might be something wrong with the CPU or the cooler.

also its been 4 months since the date of purchase,

do you suggest cleaning the fans by opening the base at home or will it void warranty , because there seems to be a lot of dust on the grills.

@Rronin
Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  
use the following steps:

• Shut down the computer, and then inspect and clean the exterior vents to remove dust buildup by blowing air through the vent openings. Dust can accumulate inside the vent openings and around internal cooling components, preventing the removal of heat.

For more information on reducing heat inside your computer, see Reducing Heat Inside the PC.

• After you remove the dust, turn on the computer. If the error message persists, continue with these steps.
• Perform a hard reset. Performing a hard reset can reset recorded thermal values in memory and enable you to use the computer again, even if only for a short time to access and save any important files before service.

For more information on performing a hard reset, see Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues.

• In some cases, updating the BIOS might help prevent this error from occurring. For more information on how to update the BIOS, see Updating the BIOS.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
