CPU Seems Waaaay to Hot on HP Envy dv6-7218

I'm using the HP Envy dv6-7215 and its got an i7, but its at 100 C, which is not good. I don't know if mine is defective and the fans not working, but i KNOW that is far too hot. Can anyone help out here?

i can feel air coming out of the vent, but not that much... I'll try reinstalling the fan driver. The computer hasn't overheated (yet atleast) but thats still way to high of a temperature.

Ok i used to have a dv5 and i bet they havent changed much and i imagine you have a build up of fluff and dirt in the cpu/gpu heatsink fan. What i suggest is you strip it down and do a clean out of the exhaust fan, while you are there if the PC is over 1 year old it wouldnt hurt to redo the paste on the cpu and gpu

HOWEVER, watch a few guides 1st as they are a bugger to strip down!

I wish it was that simple, but i got it for christmas so its not even a month old :/

I think you might need to install Gentoo and redownload your fan drivers

Erm ok, wow blew me out of the water :P, check online to see if other people have similar temps and if not take it back and change it. But my DV5 run really hot

Well laptop CPU's are designed to run at much higher temperatures than desktop CPU's however 100C is at the very limit of what is OK. Ideally you want to stay under 75-80C.

I'd say that either the fan/cooling system is defective or there is a design flaw and you're going to need a laptop cooler for when you use it for demanding tasks.

Ugh, this sucks. However, that really did help, my fans were running at a low speed. The Cpu is down to 72 C.
