Hi,
I have a Dell XPS 17 L701X. Bought august 2012.
Only modification is an SSD. Problem didn't start after the installation of it.
Problem:
Fan speed is most of the times at max speed. Fan even spins when system is idle after start up.
Even when just browsing with a few tabs open the fan is at max speed.
On battery power, with net power (with and without battery) gives the same result.
Already done:
-Cleaned out the insides
-Changed thermal paste
-Complete system reinstall
-Shut of background programs
What else is possible to do? The noise is irritating. The temperature of the CPU is still +75°C according to Speccy.
Thank you,
Axel
