Please let me know in the comments if this worked for you. → (If you want the maximum performance and don’t mind the extra heat and noise, select “ ultra performance”) you are not doing demanding tasks) you can select quiet. I recommend setting it to optimized but if you value quietness at the expense of performance (e.g.Open it and navigate to “Thermal Management”.Enable Intel Turbo Boost Technology to “off” → (Do not do this if you want to make use of the turbo-boost functionality and would like your CPU to be able to squeeze out that extra juice when working on demanding tasks.).Restart your laptop and when the dell logo displays, repeatedly press F2 to enter the BIOS. Scroll down to the system BIOS section, click the arrow to see more and click “older versions”.Hover over the support tab and click “product support” find your device by typing in the dell service tag (or it may find it for you automatically).This should work on a lot of Dell laptops, especially the XPS range, if you are facing similar issues not just my specific model. I believe the most important step was rolling back the BIOS version, though the other steps should also prevent overheating and excess battery use! I will show you how to do it all, and it should take you less than 5 minutes to do. Solution: With four simple steps I was able to completely solve this issue the laptop remains cool during normal usage and has an excellent battery life. However, I have included some additional steps I took which should also help prevent overheating and improve battery life. The CPU is consistently using more power than it needed. Through my research and testing, I believe the main culprit is the newest BIOS version (1.14). Problem: While Dell’s laptops are best in class hardware wise and excellent value for money, their software can be… well - dopey to say the least.

This didn’t make any sense to me the laptop should have been handling these light tasks with ease. I also noticed the battery draining faster than expected. How to prevent overheating & excessive fan noise on ANY Dell XPSīackground: I bought a new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390) laptop (I7 processor) and on non-demanding tasks it would become hot and the fans would turn on.
