cleaning laptop cooler saves

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
