Hello everyone, My laptop seems to be running hot. Core temps around 100c while just browsing the web. Laptop is not that hot to the touch. Fan is working fine. What should I do? Thanks

Most probably your temperature sensor is malfunctioning if laptop is not as hot as it shows.

What program are you using to view the temperatures? I would try a different one, I've seen some programs show completely wrong temps.

HWMonitor is garbage, dont use it for monitoring. Use HWInfo.

That makes sense. Would another software show a accurate temp? Thanks!
