My fan has been running a lot lately. Never used to do that when closer to being new.
I cleaned the fan and inside really well with the vacuum. I even ordered some new paste for the heat sink and put that on. The old paste wasn't in that bad a condition IMO, but I put on the new stuff just the same. I went so far as to download the Core Temp ap so I can monitor temps.
Today, while looking at BaT and a photo site I post on, the fan was running wild kind of. I'd see temps flashing orange in the ap window which I have running on part of the screen.
I went into Task manager and saw that Creative Cloud Desktop was sucking up a lot of CPU usage, so I killed it, or rather ended the task.
Now the fan has settled down.
Is someone using my computer without me knowing it or what?
I typically leave it on all day as it doesn't go to sleep and wake up very well without a reboot. I figure it doesn't use that much energy and I'm usually on it (I have a very comfortable chair, what can I say?).
Any advise would be helpful.
Is getting rid of Creative Cloud desktop possible?
TIA. Hope you all are having a nice day, we finally got some SUN today.
