I got the laptop 3 days ago, and it's overheating to temperatures up to 96 c, mind you this is the CPU heat.
So what should I do, the fans are running on max, I can hear them from a mile.
HP cool sense is on.
I even put it on balanced mode.
When I try to enter a game such as Watch Dogs 1, the CPU just goes on fire to 100c, and this supposed to be a gaming laptop.
So what should I do?
