I have an HP Envy 15. I bought a laptop cooler like a year ago due to overheating. Not going to lie, I used to abuse this thing by playing tons of games on it but have stopped for months. However CPU temps idle at 65-70C and go as high as 100C (at this point the fan pumps into overdrive). Usually Around 80-90C is the average. The laptop has never shut off on me but it can be VERY loud.
How can I lower these speeds. Is it possible to reseat the heatsink with new thermal paste and will that help? Or is that just a desktop thing? Should I look into replacing the fan or is that not a simple process?
Edit: I was using Speccy to check these temps and realized that the APU + GPU temps are pretty much combined. Using CoreTemp and SpeedFan and see I'm idleing around 30C. However the fan's still get pretty loud. Going to try to re-adjust fan speeds or something.
