Monitor CPU Spikes and Adjust GPU Settings

CPU SIDE-

Step 1: Open Task Manager

• Access Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc or right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.

Step 2: Set Task Manager to Always on Top

• Keep Task Manager Visible: Click on Options in the menu bar and select Always on Top. This allows you to monitor processes while using other applications.

Step 3: Monitor CPU Usage

• View Process Usage: In the Processes tab, click the CPU column header to sort processes by CPU usage. Identify any processes that are causing spikes.
• Now use you laptop nornally and check what causing spikes or more usage.

GPU SIDE-

Step 1: Check Dedicated GPU Usage

• DGPU Activity: Your dedicated GPU (dGPU) shows 0% usage but is not idle, ensure that it is configured correctly for your applications.

Step 2: Adjust NVIDIA GPU Settings

• Open NVIDIA Control Panel:
  • Right-click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
• Set Integrated GPU as Default:
  • Navigate to Manage 3D settings in the left sidebar.
  • Under the Global Settings tab, set the integrated GPU (iGPU) as the default processor. (Global)
• Assign dGPU for Specific Games:
  • Still in the Manage 3D settings, switch to the Program Settings tab.
  • Select the specific game from the dropdown menu and set it to use the dedicated NVIDIA GPU.

By following these steps, you can effectively monitor CPU spikes and ensure that your graphics settings are optimized for performance. Which will sure decrease GPU fan speed and monitoring what process causing spike and optimize it or disable it.

Alternatively, Ensure laptop getting proper air flow-

Prop the laptop up with books around the sides to reduce heat

Grab stack of 2-4 books that are equally thick. Slide the spine of a book 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) under the right side of the laptop. Do the same on the left side of the laptop.

[You can also Buy good cooling pad in which stands are inbuilt, its better than books]
