envy 15-j104sl
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good evening. I bought an HP ENVY 15-j104sl from a friend. I cleaned it and changed the thermal paste on CPU and on GPU.
I have also updated the BIOS and disable the option "fan always on" but i'm having problems with the fan.
Or it is at 0 rpm or it is at 2300 rpm. Can the fan runs between 0 and 2300?

Thanks.

Hi @bonat98,

 

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums.

As I understand the computer fan is making noise. Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

 

Symptoms of heat issues and causes of excessive heat

 

 

The following list describes some of the issues caused by overheating in the notebook:

* Games stop responding during play.

* Windows stops responding during use.

* Fans inside the notebook become louder because they are spinning faster as the laptop gets hot, to remove the heat.

* When starting the laptop, it sometimes stops at a black screen and does not open into Windows. Windows usually stop responding when it does open.

 

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

Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology

Step 5: Placing the notebook in a cooler room

Step 6: Testing for hardware failure If the hardware has failed, either replace the bad component or contact HP for further assistance
