Hey! So basically my laptop for a few months now is running at this temperature, and I haven't experienced too many problems, however I'm feeling the urge to get it repaired.
I own a Alienware Area-51m with the specs:
RTX 2080
I9-9900k
32GB of RAM
Around 1.5TB of storage
The laptop is performing really well, BUT in some games it performs worse than my friend's PC with worse specs. However I'm mostly worried about the temperature, it is very high and I'm becoming really stressed at this point. Around 50-60 degrees while the PC is fully idle and nearly no apps running (meaning I'm AFK), 80-90 degrees while surfing the web and having discord on and around 95-100 degrees while gaming (e.g Fortnite). Additionally, while running a BIOS scan the system found 1 error: "1 or more thermal sensors out of range". The fans on the BACK of the laptop seem to not really work as I don't feel any air coming out of it - basically there is only one fan running, and that's on the bottom.
Obviously, this is very very high and I'm really worried - looking to schedule a trip to Dell to fix this. Until then, any tips on how to make it better? Should I even be turning on my PC until the fix? Please help.
