The heating issue cropped up about two days back. I installed Solidworks 4 days ago and ANSYS student 3 days ago.
The laptop was bought in Sept 2019, specifications are:
Windows was also updated recently.
The CPU usage is low, about 6-10% all the time, Solidworks and ANSYS products are not running, and even when using the temperature remains constant at around 65-80 C. I am India and it is hot, about 35 C, but still the temperatures are too hot.
Dust accumulation on the fans below was visible but I clean it up using a tiny paint brush regularly.
What could be the problem?
Thermal paste?
Fans?
Thermal pads?
Please help, I don't want my laptop to die.
P.S. : My charger body got cracked about 5 months ago, but I don't think that should be a problem? It still charges fine.
Edit: And you know whats funny? If I play Minecraft or use Solidworks, the temperature drops.
Also HWmonitor is reporting rubbish powers, 450 Watts or so on the cpu.
Edit: The temperatures are really low on ubuntu, around 35 - 45 C even though the Nvidia driver power optimization is not so good in UBUNTU.
