    Alienware M15 constantly fan runs on high


    I'm having a problem with my Alienware laptop where the fan is constantly running near top speed. I've checked the Task Manager, and this happens even when my machine is using less than 10% of the CPU. I've tried contacting Dell tech support, but they were completely unhelpful. I have never manually set any fan curves.

    I am running Win 10 v. 1903 build 18362.1016.

    :)

    i'm planing on upgrading my pre built alienware m15

    Hi XxG3TR3KTxX591

    You can use either 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM or 16GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM, here is the Crucial page for that RAM, but there are many, many other manufacturers:

    https://eu.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/a...

    The graphics on that laptop is not upgradable, it is soldered to the motherboard, the only option (other than to buy a new laptop) is to grab the Alienware Graphics Amplifier and buy a desktop GPU for it

    CPU Fan runs constantly

    Hi,

    We would like to know the following information to assist you better regarding CPU fan issue.

    • Does the fan runs constantly fast or do you hear any noise?
    • Have you tried updating all the drivers of your computer?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps before posting this concern? If yes, what are those?
    • What is the memory/disk usage in task manager?

      You may check this by typing Task Manager in the search box

    Fan runs constantly

    Hi,

    The fan in the laptop is constantly running to cool down the cpu and it is normal for it to increase it's speed, your fan should run quietly even it increases the rpm. But if you hear a loud noise in the fan, there may the issue with CPU utilization which
    increases the temperature in the system.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
