Dell XPS Fan Curve

[Rhythm8503]

Hey guys so I got the Dell XPS 13 and they're thermal system sucks, like I watched this laptop hit 80-90C before actually ramping up the fans, is there any apps I could use to set the fan curve and CPU Wattage because its getting annoying, I mean Dell Power Manager helped but not a lot. Please help gotta squeeze more performance. 

 

Dell XPS 13 9380

i7 8565U

16GB 2133MHz

512GB

Even at 100% it's cooling solution will never be able to handle the i7.

About how my XPS 13 9360 with an i7-7500U operates but it works just fine otherwise. 

 

These things just do that, there is nothing the stock cooler is going to be able to do about it. I re-pasted mine and I think it did essentially nothing. 

 

This laptop though is a glorified YouTube machine for me, I don't do any real work on it.

Sadly I've never managed to get any of the 11th series intel based XPS's to not overheat.

 

there's a fundamental design flaw somewhere in the coolling solution and it even at 100% fan speed is insufficient to cool properly.

Well if there is anything to atleast put the fans on because on "Ultra Performance" the fans are like at 80% only at cool do they sound louder

It's on purpose to prevent wearing the fan out too much.

Fair but it prevents thermal stability, ramping it to 100% wouldn't wear the fans too much.
