My Dell XPS 15 7590 was throttling a lot under heavy load, especially due to the high temperature. So here are the three steps I took to reduce it. 1. Under-volt You can under-volt your CPU to reduce the generated heat. Download the Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility from this link if you have an Intel processor. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29183/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU- 2. A better cooling pad I bought this amazing cooling pad/fan which gives a lot of cool air to the laptop ventilation system. Buy from Amazon DE: https://amzn.to/3biah40 3. Re-apply thermal paste WARNING ⚠ : Do this at your own risk! Buy Arctic MX-4 Amazon DE: https://amzn.to/3bi6UtU Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3bqYjVS Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2RMqbMk Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/3anuoN4 These three steps to help my laptop to cool down a lot! If nothing works, there are two options. 1. Reset the laptop (Windows) or re-install Windows. This will fix any software issues or malware trouble if there were any. 2. Get rid of it :D Just sell your desktop and buy a better one ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🔥Subscribe to my channel for more videos like this. http://www.youtube.com/c/GnomezGrave?sub_confirmation=1 📸Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/praneethpeiris/ 🌐Visit my website for more updates: https://gnomezgrave.com/
