My laptop is the ENVY Laptop 16-h0xxx, and when I use programs that fully utilize both the dGPU and CPU, the laptop is stable for a few seconds until it abruptly throttles to 400 MHz. After a few seconds, it goes back up to 3800 MHz, until it throttles again just a few seconds later. I am about 99.9% certain that this is all due to the fans not ramping up quickly enough or high enough. I have reinstalled Windows countless times and have looked for many solutions to get the fans to ramp up higher. Unfortunately, it seems that those options are minimal due to most of HP's software being extremely proprietary, and the only one that would actually work on this computer was HP CoolSense, which is, honestly, useless garbage (I did not notice a difference between having it on or off). Is there any other way to get the fans to ramp up higher?
