    Hi there! So I've been really stressed out over this issue on that my laptop doesn't decrease it's fan speeds after running a heavy application, it'll be running completely fine on idle but right after running a game the the cpu fan doesn't seem to decrease bback to its normal value for what seems hours despite 30 celsius cpu temp, moreover even after a restart the cpu fans will run at max. It's only when i leave it off for 2 days or more it returns back to it's normal rpm. the laptop is a Dell inspiron 15 3576

  2. Laptop fan spins up to max for no obvious reason

    As stated above.

    In viewing task manager I tend to see nothing obvious that could be the cause though occassionally something like below occurs.

    Once the fan gets going it doesn't appear as if it will stop until I shut my laptop down fully.

    Checked my fan physically and no dust.

    Replaced thermal compound between cpu and heat sink.

    Scanned with windows defender and malwarebytes to find nothing.

    Appears to ramp up randomly. Played an intensive game without issue.

    I figured it might be related to using my browser - Mozilla. Deleted all history/cookies etc, switched to edge.

    Tried to eliminate as many programs to find anything to the point of resetting win10.

    Not sure what to do now. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Suggested so far…

    Disconnecting from internet = no change

    Process explorer = 97-99% idle

    Checking BIOS version = most up to date

    Sent in support ticket - Awaiting response

    Acquired SpeedFan - Unable to add any fan controller

    Acquired NoteBook FanControl - Able to target fan speed in steps of 25%. Will spin up to max at any stepping other than 0%. Appears as if tilting my laptop can set the fan off to max. Currently using 0% target fan to bring it back down.

  3. laptop running at 70 degress at idle

    i thought this was due to a faulty fan so i got my fan replaced and thermal compound

    when the laptop starts , the fan runs at max speed for a few seconds and then slows down

    after that no matter how hot my laptop gets,whatever work i do it,the fan is always running at a very slow speed

    i am out of options,i cant control fan speed on my laptop

    thanks in advance

    my laptop- hp pavalion g6 1201tx

    processor-i5 2430m

    gpu-radeon hd6470m(currently disabled completely and catalyst control center uninstalled as it was ruining my boot-up time)

    currently running on intel hd 3000
