Hello all,
I have had my laptop for a few months now and nothing i can do has fixed the problem.
Right now i am getting 65 degrees (under volted by 80mv) when idle CPU temps which seems like complete crap considering the cpu is only using about 1.5 Watts.
I really would like to get the high cpu temps sorted out as the fan is quite annoying as it is quite loud especially when i start doing anything on the laptop eg watch a youtube video or check emails when the cpu temp gets to 70 degrees the fan ramps up stupid loud. i have contacted the seller of the laptop (Pc Specialist) and all they say is 65 is normal for a laptop, which is obviously bs when my college who has the exact same laptop (Cpu, ram, screen and gpu) gets better temps in game then i do at idle:( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIKE74OQzWk).

also something to note i am taking my idle temps on a clean install of windows after all updates have finished.

System Spec:
Laptop Model No: Clevo W230SS
CPU: i7 4710MQ
GPU: GTX 860M
RAM: 12Gb 1600Mhz Kingston
Display: QHD+ 3200x1800

Any Help is very appreciated
Thanks :)

I assume that all the software that you have on your machine is needed, i.e. you have no junk software that was installed by mistake as part of another program.

If this is the case, first check for the start up programs. If you see any programs that are not either not needed or start up when they shouldn't then disable them.

Second, make sure you have all the latest drivers

Third, something I have learned for experience, get rid of geforce experience. For some reason this uses the cpu a lot in the background and causes the temps to rise very easily

Fourth, this will depend on the version of windows you have. If you have win 8 or 8.1, use the local account rather than the Microsoft account. For some reason, the temps are lower and...

Fifth, get rid of onedrive.

Sixth, clean the fans and any other components that have dust.
