I have an XPS 9560, I7 1080p full battery variant, and I love how quiet it can be unless under load, which helps a lot when I work or record music.
But two USB ports are few, as I have external keyboard, audio card and other devices, and had no luck finding a usb 3.0 hub which could power an external hard drive.
So I went for a usb-C hub. It works fine, but pretty much as soon as I plug it in, the fans will start spinning and never stop until I unplug it. When I unplug it, they will stop almost immediately.
This happens even with no devices connected to the hub, the computer is running no applications beyond Win 10, the load is under 2%, and throttlestop shows very low temperatures (38C).
It might be a driver problem, or perhaps a consequence of motherboard design from Dell.
This is the hub giving me problems: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0772GJ25R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was wondering if anybody could point me to a usb-c hub, perhaps on amazon, which you have used and know not to cause this problem. At least not when using low power usb dongles such as controllers wifi and such.
