Senseless fan curve on Envy x360 15-ee0000 in tablet mode

[wavvve]

In normal laptop mode, the fan works appropriately and is off at low loads. During tablet mode, even if the CPU is 35-40c, the fan turns on. Why does the fan need to be on when the CPU is drawing ~3w and below 40c? There needs to be some fan curve tuning on the BIOS level. I am on the latest F15 bios.

Hi@wavvve, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Request you the following list describes some causes of excessive heat,

• Dust inside the laptop.  
• A new component, such as a hard drive, is added. The extra component causes the power supply to work harder and generate more heat. Extra heat also radiates off the new component and adds to the temperature inside the case.  
• Over time, some cooling fans might slow down and wear out, as the laptop is getting hot, depending on the usage of the laptop.  
• High ambient room temperature.  

Step 1: Removing dust and lint by cleaning vents  

Step 2: Ensuring proper space for ventilation  

Step 3: Updating the BIOS  ( Make sure Power adaptor connected to notebook )

Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology  

Step  5: Update the Windows 

Step  6:Update Drivers from HP Support Assistance
