Hi - is it normal for the fan the run hard even under light use and light gaming such as Roblox?

Is there a way to check that the fan operation is optimised or is it automatic?

Thanks
Phil

What temperatures are you seeing, take a look in the control center and see what temperatures and fan speeds are

Can't find any temperature or fan data via control panel. Can't find anything called control centre, do I need to install?
Yes, it's a master driver. It won't be in control panel or programs, it will be in the running programs in the taskbar:

Yours will look different to mine, just hover over the icons to see what they are.

Ah - thank you and thank @Martinr36 .... it wasn't in game mode. It is now and the fan has slowed. I'll check after school when our youngest is playing. :)
Out of curiosity I looked at my other kids pc specialist laptop that arrived his week. I has no Gaming CenterU or similar. Not listed in programs either. His fan seems okay but do I need Gaming CenterU or si

Depends what chassis it is. GamingCenterU is just on TongFang chassis.

Here you go. As far as I know it's running fine I was just unsure why there was no Gaming CenterU but @SpyderTracks answered that.
