Spectre x360 15-df1450nd overheating

[PufferSpectre]

I got my laptop a few days ago, and when i started testing it i noticed the core temps are really high. HWiNFO noticed a max temp of 102 degrees celcius while it should be killed at 100 degrees, and it reached temps of around 95 degrees when the processor runs on 50% and 55-60 degrees when doing nothing. Some extra notes: The laptop is on a hard surface with none of the vents blocked, i hear the fans running and the laptop is brand new.

@PufferSpectre 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 & anything beyond that, you could reduce via a cooling pad.
