Hi,
So I was running a CPU stress test using AIDA64, and I realized there is some thermal throttling (max at 18%) when temperatures reach around 95C.
I was definitely quite scared when I saw that temperature so I thought maybe adjusting the fan curve can solve the problem. But the problem is, I don't know how to do that.
Can someone please help me.

Thank you

Can you see your fan speed in BIOS?

Unfortunately popular utilities such as Speedfan don't work with most laptops.

Have you made sure your laptop's fan is set to Active instead of passive? http://smallbusiness.chron.com/increase-fan-speed-laptop-55841.html

When is the last time it was cleaned? Those fins can get clogged. Is this something new? I mean did you check your temps. when you received the laptop? This could be the manufacturer's responsibility.

What about investing in a laptop cooling pad like one of these https://www.amazon.com/Cooling-Pads-External-Fans-Silhouette-Goods/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A2243862011%2Cp_6%3AA3V8NEXTD5CTYT?

Dell's proprietary prerogative might not be agreeable to those changes.

Can the CPU be undervolted?
