Hello, I'm having a problem with my brand new laptop,
HP Spectre x360 - 16
First thing I noticed a very noisy cooling fan.
Its running noisy at very low use, just browswer or nothing running. Very annoying, much noisier than my old laptop.
Only way I could reduce was setting to set Silence in Command centre, but that reduces performance of processor .
For me is unaacpetable if premium model with i7 processor must run noisy fan at low task, and only option to reduce it is to reduce performance of processor

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Did you make any changes to the settings of your PC prior to the issue?
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
- 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 the fan: HP Notebook PCs - Fan Is Noisy and Spins Constantly
- 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 the noisy operation from occurring. For more information on how to update the BIOS, see Updating the BIOS.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
