Spectre x360 13-ap0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Hp Spectre 360 with intel i7 8565u tends to overheat badly even with Optimized settings from Hp command center.
When I run heavy applications it reaches temperatures around 95/98 degrees on all cores and the fan does't seem to kick in hard as it should. The power draw goes over 30W and I don't understand why it doesn't cut the TDP in order to keep the PC safe at lower temperatures.


I'm currently running BIOS version: AMI F.40 released on 29/11/2019 and I thought that maybe it's a problem related with the BIOS version?

 

All the values were recorded with Core Temp and my laptop version is the Spectre x360 13-ap0xxx without dedicated graphics and with 16gb of RAM

@AlessandroBr Click here for steps to resolve overheating issues, you could try reducing the visual effects to make a minor change, also, ensure you are using a cooling pad as well, to be on a safer side.

 

Here's how you change windows settings to reduce visual effects:

  • Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
  • Type performance > choose to Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
  • In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance.
  • click Apply and Ok...this should do the trick.

I must let you know that its normal for any PC to heat up to an extent, and with a CPU such as the one you have, there's nothing to worry about, for details on why you don't need to worry: Click here to go through the CPU specifications, look under Tjunction of the CPU, it supports up to 100°C.
