Hi,

 

I have been using this laptop for 2.5 years, and recently it has seemed to get hotter.  I checked a diagnostic tool to see if my fans were running(speedfan 4.2), and it reports that one of my fans run at 190 RPM.  At max it has achieved 240 RPM whereas the other hand stability holds 2000 RPM and adjusts based on the temperature.  Is it possible that my fan has died / is malfunctioning?  I feel that at 190RPM, the fan isnt really functioning properly as that is about 3 rotations per second.  

 

I found a video for fan replacements, but I just wanted to confirm that a fan running at 190RPM when the temperatures are around 40-50C is abnormal.

 

Thanks,

Neel

I reviewed your post and I understand that one of the fans is running at a very low speed.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

The GPU fan usually runs slower compared to the CPU fan. However, I recommend you update the BIOS from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
