A few days ago I replaced my laptop's original HDD for a new fast SSD (Samsung EVO 850) along with a fresh Windows install. The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5740G. Everything was running well, things ran super fast and the laptop had a new life and all, until I decided to check my temperatures.
Simple tasks on the desktop can often go over 70 ºC, installing programs or doing anything remotely intensive pumps the temperatures to 80-90 ºC. It hasn't shutdown yet, however. This laptop has always been to the warmer side, which was usually fixed by launching RW Everything and manually setting the fan controller speeds to 100%. However, not even that is enough to leave it at an adequate temperature right now, in fact there is barely a difference in temperatures when the fans are at 40% or 100% right now. Yes the fans are working (the noise is almost unbearable when the fans are at full speed).
I triple checked any possible drivers on this new Windows installation (chipset, power management, graphics card etc).
Any ideas what could be causing this? Possibly the heatsink failing? Or would the SSD for some reason cause it to overheat?
