This might be more of a hardware question, so I'll cross post to the appropriate group. I've noticed my laptops, one ASUS the other Lenovo, that when they sleep or hibernate the core temps seem to go up. Or at least that's what HWMonitor is telling me. It's as if fan control turns off. Is that something Windows would have control over? What makes it odd is that the laptops are sitting on cooling pads, good ones, so even if the CPU fans turn off, they are still getting air flow.

Maybe the temp sensors aren't reporting properly because Windows is sleeping? it doesn't seem to be hurting anything so I'm not too worried, but I am curious to figure out the cause.

Both laptops are running updated versions of Win 11.
