HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion x360
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

It has been less than a week since I got my HP Pavilion x360 (14 inch). The model I have has an i7 8th gen. Right after starting it for the first time i noticed it was heating up insanely (CPU temp as high as 90 C) while on idle, so I went around the settings and discovered that the Intel graphics options were to blame, they were set to max. So I reduced the power setting and got my laptop cooled (~ 47 C). However, later i used it while on charging and again the laptop was heating up (CPU temp as high as 96 C!), so I checked the Intel graphics setting and it were set max for 'on battery'. I reduced them but the laptop is still heating up, CPU temp goes as high as 80 C while watching video on VLC and nothing else.

 

What can be the problem? I am thinking that it might be windows causing the issue and wanting to install Ubuntu.
