The problem would seem to be that HP only provides a passive cooling policy for this laptop, presumably to keep fan noise to a minimum. Given the example of the Dell XPS 13, the i7-8565u seems capable of operating safely for extended periods with a TDP of 25watts, provided it has an adequate cooling system & policy, With a large heat sink & 2 fans, it looks like the Spectre x360 should be capable of providing similar cooling. I have NOT used Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility, and my Spectre x360 is performing fine, though slower on CPU intensive tasks taking more than a few seconds, than a Dell XPS 13 with the same CPU that I was able to compare it against, hence my question in the first place. Hi Riddle_Decipher, if you read my original posting, you will notice that I was asking if any other people had used Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility to raise TDP on their Spectre x360 & if so, what were their results.
