Removing either did not solve the issue, but waking it up in the morning did for a while, so it has to be related to heat, and the fan. > Have you seen > Loud fan noise and high CPU usage occurs with the XPS 13 9370 | Dell Canada > <https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-ca/000143849/loud-fan-noise-and-high-cpu-usage-occurs-with-the-xps-13-9370> > ? > (could be only models sold in Canada, or there may be a similar article > for other countries).
