[SOLVED] My laptop heats a lot(Dell Latitude E6420) after fan replacement.

It boots with the temperatures of 54-62 C . Also keeps shutting down or gets really hot while playing games , the idle temperatures are 58-64 C . I have also replaced the fan and re pasted it .

ALSO CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS TEMP 5 AND TEMP 6 TEMPERATURE IN MY LAPTOP***

TEMPERATURES AFTER 15 MIN USING GOOGLE CHROME .

Are you sure the fan is working? Or maybe the replacement doesn't have the proper max speed?

It is working fine but i dont know what is making the temperatures so high.

That would leave contact or contact pressure with the CPU.
Did this use thermal paste or a thermal pad to transfer the heat?

I just noticed my fan is not blowing much air as it was blowing before when i re pasted it my self. Before re pasting it was blowing a decent amount of air and the temperature was bit high but now when i have re pasted it my self the fan is not blowing much air as it was before also my laptop is hitting 80-82 C in idle state. Looks like something is stuck in the fan and obstructing the air to flow out completely even though my fan is dust-free and the vents are also cleared . What could the possible reason making it to 80-82 C??

BTW I used thermal paste and looks like my thermal pad is not in a good condition. Should replacing it can help with the temperatures ??

it should. Thermal paste wont fill the gap like you thing and without it then heatsink probably wont sit right and make poor contact.

I would make a post in the laptop Tech support forum if you need recommendations for a new thermal pad.
