Overheat problem / Fans not turning fast enough

[Gringuy]

Hello,

So i got this laptop since bit less than two years now and it started overheating lately GPU reaching 98° and CPU reaching 95°.

And somehow, the fan's don't go "full speed" as they used to do.

Few weeks ago, when reaching these temperatures, fan would start making lot of noise, rotating fast, (I definitly don't care about noise), now they don't.

Downvolting CPU made it go a few degrees under, to something like 92° but it's still quite hot and doesn't change anything about the 98° GPU.

Can we somehow "force control" fan to go faster ?

Thanks for your answer.

@Gringuy Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are facing the overheating issue.

There is no way to control the fan speed. They built a mechanism which is supposed to control the speed, and don't want customers to change the speed as it can lead to overheating issues.

What I know you can do is to go to "power options" -> "change advanced power settings" -> "processor power management" -> "maximum processor state" and lower it to avoid overheating. 

Please uninstall the graphics drivers and update the BIOS.

Thanks for the answer.

Sadly, changing this setting didn't changed anything to CPU and GPU temperature.

However, i've conducted a few test in order to isolate the problem, and it appears that overhating only happen when battery is charging.

I ran multiple stress test (99% of CPU use for 10 minutes) on battery : No overheat (was around 85° degrees)

Any task (even using only 50% of CPU for 10 minutes) while charging : Almost immediate overheat (97° celsius reached in 3 minutes...)

Do you want me to accept your previous solution and run a new post for this specific problem ?
