I have a Nitro 5-an515-54, works perfectly in regular use, but when I game, the fan never speeds up above 4000RPM for the CPU and GPU automatically. I have to manually set it to a higher speed to avoid the laptop from overheating. I have updated nitrosense and have BIOS 1.32, not sure what else I can do. Temperatures seems to be showing on nitrosense fine, I don't know if the BIOS is messing with the fan curve, and im not sure how to fix that.

    If i click the MAX buttom, both fans go to 6000 RPM just fine. If i leave it on automatic, both of them never go above 4000RPM, even with the laptop reaching above 90 degrees

    Hey @JhinBR That's right, if it is automatic, it doesn't go to 6k rpm, that's because the CPU never does give the command until you want it to because it draw a lot of power for the fan to constantly run at 6000rpm and/or to bring it upto 6000rpm when required. it doesn't actually unless you exhibit your computer to a super heavy work process. but, you can try some tricks to avoid overheating. Gaming computers can withstand heat, yes, but as a user you have the responsibility to take steps, I'm not sure if you do this, but, I would suggest investing in some Laptop coolers, or cheapest way, use an egg tray to mount your laptop on and that allows the laptop to vent the hot air through the notches or whatever they call on that egg tray.

    Try loading default settings on BIOS setup to see if it reduces overheat, try closing apps that you don't use.
