Hi @fegelein3290

Since you mentioned that the fan is running fast and noisy,

I would suggest you to do some stuffs.

  1. Consider opening up the laptop to clean up the heatsink and remove the dust stuck on the heatsink.
  2. If fan has worn out, take it out and order replacement, you can find replacement on ebay / aliexpress, etc
  3. re apply thermal paste
  4. if all has been done but it is still noisy, consider updating the laptop bios.
  5. check OS configuration, if certain app is causing it.
  6. if it has improved but would like to further cool the laptop, consider getting a laptop cooler pad, get reputable brands like coolermaster, etc.
