HP Envy 360 - very noisy
Does anyone have any tips for making a laptop quieter? My HP Envy 360's fan constantly runs when it's plugged in. Is that normal? On battery it can be silent sometimes, but can also sound like a jet engine taking off, but it's when it's plugged in that it is annoying me most. It just never stops.
