Laptop overheating caused by fan not speeding up.
Hi!
Recently my ASUS N61J laptop's been acting up. It's been overheating lately so I decided to change the Thermal Paste for the first time in 5 years which helped it a bit not a complete fix. Of course I cleaned the fan and vents. After all those it started cooling again like it was brand new! Or so I thought...
A couple of hours later it started heating up again which I monitored and saw that my fan wasn't spinning as fast as it should.
Proper speed reaches 2800 RPM to 3500 RPM:
A few hours later with the CPU temperature rising the fan starts to screw up:
Things I've already tried:
- I can't use Speed Fan to control the fan speed since it doesn't even detect my fan.
- Directly changing RPM in HWMonitor didn't work
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
