Inspiron 15 5000 Temperature Issues

Hello,

I recently bought an Inspiron 15 5000 5593 laptop and for some reason the CPU and GPU idle temperatures at between 51-61 degrees and if I use anything as simple as a YouTube tab, the temperature spikes to 65+ degrees on both CPU and GPU and the fans go insane. 

Haven't had an issue with overheating, i.e. forced shutdown, but the constant high fan speed is really annoying.

I examined the fan vents (externally) and there seems to be no kind of blockage. I even have the laptop propped up on a cooling rack, but the high temperatures persist. It is very weird for a brand new (less than a week old) laptop to be overheating and producing so much noise.

 

I'm running the latest BIOS as of the time I'm writing this (1.20) and I even tried turning off the Turbo Boost technology from the BIOS in hopes it was just amping the cores too much for some reason, but to no avail.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

    If it is unacceptable to you, you have only 30 days for full refund.

    try this .....
    I have an intel core i7 which runs at a faster 1.5 ghz base speed. i got a intel core i5 for my wife , which is a 1.2 ghz base speed, and quiet most of the time. The fan noise was driving me crazy. I wanted to post that this dell 5593 and most dells are great laptops. dell is so great that they offer a utility to tweak the fan settings, and i chose the quiet option and the fan is so much quieter that i do not hear it as often any more. i was so close to giving up and living with the noisy fan. the fan is new and not broken, but i just prefer silence. ty so much to the poster that solved my annoying problem with the post of :
    Search for "Dell Power Management" in Start
    Open and go to the "Thermal Management"
    Select the Option "Quiet"
    The laptop will become Quiet instantly.
    The default setting is set to optimize the laptop.
    If you don't have Dell Power Management I think you have to install it
