    OK. My friend have a problem with it. The CPU is overheated.
    He already undervolt the CPU and have about 10C lower than usual.
    However, currently, it seems the temperature raise up again and is very unusual. When normal browsing the internet or do minor stuffs, the CPU temperature bump up to 65-80C or even more.

    Would it due to FAN problem(spoiled)? or something else?
    If it's FAN problem, how to replace it? I mean where can I buy the FAN that fit HP HDX16 well.

    Thanks in advance.

    Common stuff: Clean out the fans/dust/etc.

    And if you want to be complete about cleaning it, might as well crack the HDX16 open, and if the fan seems dead, replace it.

    Before this, the Laptop already been cleaned up(a few days ago).
    So, dust shouldn't be a problem. This problem only appear yesterday. Probably, the FAN died? Where can I get the Replacement for this FAN? Is Laptop FAN rare?
