Pavilion 15 cs
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have recently purchased a brand new HP Pavilion 15t 3DY10AV_1 with 16GB RAM and 128GB SSD+2TB HDD. However, the laptop's fan makes an annoying noise. This is not an indication of a hardware problem but unnecessary increase and decrease of fan speed. My question is how come a brand new laptop with this amount of RAM and such a powerful processor( Core i7 1.5-4.2 GHz  8th gen)needs this much fan work and consequently the noise even in the idle mode.

I have already updated the BIOS to the latest version but it hasn't made any improvement. 

I am seriously annoyed by the noise and it'd be really great if you could help me.

@zachw63 Powerful computers usually require more fan speed to keep the device cool, among other things to run efficiently,

That said, welcome to HP Forums!

 

Also, If the fan noise is unbearable, its an issue, if it's just a normal sound, it could be normal,

If it is annoying as you've mentioned, here's what you need to do:

 

To resolve issues such as Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly:

  • Updating your Notebook computer BIOS
  • Keeping notebook air vents clear and clean
  • Increasing the efficiency of the notebook to reduce heat
  • Using Windows Task Manager to identify corrupt processes
  • Selecting power save settings to shut off your computer when it is not in use

Thank you for your answers.

However, the laptop's fan is constantly working even when I am using a fan pad and I am only using Chrome for Internet browsing.
