cleaning laptop cooler saves

[fotiselianos]

Hi there I saw the cleaning day post and given that I have already posted about high laptop temperatures I want to share with you an experience.

In my room I run a server resulting to have too much dust in the room so today was a cleaning day removing dust from server and my table. Then I saw my laptop and said hey lets clean it too. I took a spray of compressed air and blew air right on the laptop fan both from the rear holes and the bottom ones. A huuuuge amount of dust went off from inside.

So I said lets test it. The results.
Running cpu at its max for 5 minutes resulted to 85 degrees before cleaning. After cleaning I run toast a program for counting temperatures at full cpu loads and the temperature was at 55 after 15 minutes. Amazing 30 degrees less!

So my advice remove any dust from the fun especially if you use your laptop in dusty environments

Now my question what can I do so as to prevent dust entering the cooler is a filter or something

[TygerTyger]

Wow that's quite a difference. You can't really add a filter as anything that stops dust going in would also restrict air flow coming out. Or at least I imagine it would. As long as you don't leave it years before cleaning you should be fine :smileygrin:

Yeah TT's right, keep the working area clean.
Glad to hear you got it all sorted.

With this action you distributed most dust in the Notebook.

What a great idea.:smileydevil:






Excuse for my sarcasm.

You have a point there Seb, the dust is now within the chasis of the PC.

So whats the best thing to do, is a hoover too powerful?
I have seen these computer hoovers but they're a bit pathetic.

I think the best way is to open laptop and clean it and this would get rid of all the dust

idea

dont know if it is powerful but what about reversing the air on the hoover u know them ones and then see if it sucks it out dont know if it would work

I agree with Jay

A hoover is useless.

The dust between the lamellas is firm. The distance between the lamellas is too small
