Product: HP Pavilion Power 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

To keep things short, I have nothing to complain about this laptop, I love it, except that it gets too hot, too fast and unnecessary.

 

I own this laptop since March and the only thing I always notice is that it gets hot pretty fast. When I'm doing things like surfing on the web it remains pretty 'cold' but when I start editing it gets hot within 5-10 minutes, and the fan gets sometimes loud too.

 

The heaviest things I do is video editing. I know video editing can be a heavy task for laptops/pc but the way this laptop gets hot is too fast. I can understand that if you do 'crazy' things during video editing like adding a lot of effects, edit with 4K footage etc your laptop will struggle, but I do not do these things. Yesterday I edited a video of 720p, only did some cutting and pasting things and my laptop went from cold to hot in 5-10 minutes.

 

If I have video edit sessions like this for 1-2 hours, that can't be good for my laptop! I don't want to destroy it. So, what to do? I noticed that other people had/have this hot problem with the HP Pavilion 15, but is there a way to fix this?

 

Thank you.

 

(This is maybe irrelevant but my previous laptop had only a 920m nvidea card and other 'bad' specs but that laptop didn't get this hot when I edited videos)
