Performance Issues and Overheating on HP Spectre x360 16 During Heavy Workloads, But Some Web Apps Run Smoothly I’m using an HP Spectre x360 16 with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD for Python development, Jupyter Notebook projects, audio processing, and data analysis. Lately, I’ve noticed that during heavier workloads, the laptop heats up significantly and experiences noticeable performance lag. Browser-based apps, online games, and even lightweight websites sometimes freeze or slow down when the temperature rises.Interestingly, some sites run without any lag at all—for example, the Rice Purity Test for Couples works perfectly even when other apps are struggling.The overheating and lag usually appear when:Running Python libraries or processing large datasets Multitasking with multiple browsers and development tools Using resource-intensive web appsCPU usage spikes quickly, fans get loud, and performance still drops after a while. I’m trying to figure out whether this is mainly due to:Thermal or cooling limitations CPU throttling from heat Aging thermal paste or dust buildup Windows power or performance s
