Hi all. I recently bought this HP Pavilion 17 refurbished by the Geek Squad at best buy. the laptop is nice except for the processor. its a AMD A8-4500M, and it either is overheating, or the fan is just overkill. all i have to do s open chrome, and the fan gets audibly annoying. im not one to get annoyed by fans since my desktop is always on, but the laptop is LOUDER than all the fans on my desktop. CPUID HW Moniter says the CPU is running at 57 degress Celsius! thats not even a hot temp for this laptop. can someone help? free to give more info if needed.
