I've been having trouble with my computer because it gets too hot when I use it, so I replaced the old cooling fan with a new one called an MX-4. The temperature numbers are better now: before the change, idle temp was 67 degrees C and under load it climbed to 80 degrees C. After putting in the new part, both temps went down—idle is around 60 degrees C and under load it's about 75 degrees C. I have an Intel i7-9750h processor, a GTX 1650 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and the Max-Q cooling software installed with the new fan. What's causing this heat spike?
