I began noticing a few months ago that my Envy x360 has been getting very hot consistently, especially while charging and in situations where it really shouldn't be.
Right now as I type, the laptop is on my desk, the vents are unobstructed and have been cleaned, the charger is in, the only application I have open is google Chrome... and the temperature of the CPU is still 55C. And that is on the low end of average temperatures. I left my laptop on my bed while I went to get a drink, with the lid down, on charge and came back to of 84C, which is frankly terrifying and ridiculous.
For reference here are my temps, while idling, according to CPUID: View: https://imgur.com/a/0dW4apj
I have updated my BIOS, I have installed Coolsense (which as far as I can tell does literally nothing), and as I have stated the ventilation ports are clear and clean.
As of yet it has never shut off or failed to boot due to overheating, but given the excessive temperature I am concerned the components will soon become damaged.
I've posted this on the HP Help forums as well because I'm desperate to find a fix for this. This is my work laptop, I don't use it for gaming or even anything graphically intensive, but as it is I'm worried it'll burn itself out or the house down at the rate its going.
