HP Notebook - 14-dq0017ca

Hello friends, Recently I upgraded my laptop's RAM and SSD. when I opened the back cover, first thing I realised was there is no FAN. how could be possible? I bougt it brand new from bestbuy couple of years ago . I always feel it's getting hot abit more than I expected but really surprized when I noticed there is no fan anywere . I wonder is there anybody with the same experience ?
If yes , is it normal?  do I need to add a fan to the system.

Hi:

 

Yes, it is normal for the notebooks with Intel Pentium and Celeron processors to have no fans.

 

All brand notebooks have this design that come with Pentium or Celeron processors.

 

Intel developed these processors to be low wattage.

 

It's been that way for several years now.

 

You cannot add a fan to your system.

 

I agree with you that these notebooks feel very warm to the touch because I have an 11" HP model with an Intel Celeron N3450 quad core processor, and I can use it as a lap warmer.

 

I've had it for several years now and it has not had any issues such as thermal shutdown errors and whatnot.

 

I would have kept the fan and heat sink system used for the Intel Core processor notebooks, but I am not a hardware engineer.
