Solution


It's automatic, often times can't be easily disabled on laptops, and that's not what's overheating. It's OP's 2nd GPU.

@SAADHERO You need to determine what's causing such high temperatures. Chances are that the laptop needs cleaned, at least, and possibly the thermal compound needs reapplied.

You're not using the laptop on a bed or anything other than a flat surface, are you?

4/5 times that we get a laptop in for service due to thermal problems are a result of heatsinks and fans being caked with dust (and then some). Though compound usually takes awhile to degrade, it can happen with some of the cheaper options, and if the application was bad from factory (happens a lot), that can also cause overheating.

So be sure to either check the fans, heatsinks, and compound yourself, or have it taken care of by Dell or a professional. As long as you're not playing with clocks (overclocking) or voltage (overvolting), then it shouldn't be overheating for any other reason.
