Product: HP pavilion 15 ab516tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have  HP pavilion 15 laptop. My laptop fans are running very slow due to which most of the time thermal shutdown occurs.  Is there any way that I can run my laptop's fan at max, at least while gaming, to keep the cores even cooler.

Hi! From my knowledge there is no way to control ur fan speed on a HP laptop at all. They built a mechanism which is supposed to control the speed afaik, 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. 

 

You can also check if you have the latest BIOS installed on ur laptop, if you google HP Bios update there's a short guide on how to do it 🙂

 

I have the same issue as you and wish I could control my fan speed somehow 😕
