Overheating issue with the Dell Xps 15.
Hey there! I see you're dealing with a Dell Xps 15 from 2018 that has an i9 processor. The issue is that it's running at temperatures between 53-57°C when idle. The power manager is switching to cooling mode, but I'm not sure if this is normal or a problem. You mentioned attaching a picture of CPU usage and temperatures during idle time—would that help clarify the situation? Thanks for sharing!
Laptops get really hot, and XPS models often lack strong cooling systems or proper quality checks. If they overheat too much and slow down quickly, you might consider reapplying thermal paste.
Standard XPS temperatures vary widely—consider upgrading your device.
The XPS models struggle with the i9 processor. It's not surprising—the cooling system barely managed a 4c/8t CPU, and using the same setup for newer models clearly caused problems.
