Hi, since a while I detect that the computer fan is spinning louder than it used to be. I have cleaned it, wasn’t very dirty, but now it is clean but that didn’t do it.
When I, for instance, use Spotify in the webbrowser kwin_wayland uses between 15 and 30% of the CPU and that is enough to pass the threshold for the fan to start spinning at a higher speed, making so much noise that I can hear it above the music I want to hear. Not desirable.
When I just use a “old-fashion” html website all is well, it’s always when something is running on the webpage.
I use Kinoite 44, upgraded one week ago, but even before that the fan was already noisy.
Here are the computer details:

Who has an idea what this could be? Can it be a codec I am missing for example?
If I need to send more info please let me know.
Thanks.
