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

Good point.

BTW TT, my old case had filters.

Filters, good idea.


I have no Filters in my Notebook.

They got covered in much though Seb, as they were the intake fans on a Lian Li case.
The PC60 was nice, but the CPU fan I had was just deafening!

Yeah, I think cases from LianLi are the best you get for money.

any link for opening vaio A series???
Is it dangerous such an action?

If it's in warranty and you're new to notebooks I would get VAIO Link to do it.

[fotiselianos]

yes but soon comes a time where I want have the warranty and I have to clean it periodically so if there is a safe way to do it I would be glad seb21 link was perfect but not for my model

well u should only do this if u hav experiance as if u mak a mistake u will regret opening it. Plus i agree with wht Kee-Lo said

yes but soon comes a time where I want  have the warranty and I have to clean it periodically so if there is a safe way to do it I would be glad  seb21 link was perfect but not for my model

Sorry, I can't GOOGLEling a better link for other VAIOs.

Sorry to be a pain Seb, but it's "I can't find a better link on Google."
