A laptop is a gadget that is very convenient to use, because with a wireless Internet connection, you can work wherever it suits you. Also, the laptop is useful for people leading a "nomadic" lifestyle. And almost every laptop owner sooner or later faces the problem of overheating of the machine. This is very inconvenient, especially if you are using the laptop on your lap. How to lower the temperature of your laptop?
It is necessary
Compressed air can, brushes, thermal grease, ventilated stand, screwdrivers
Instructions
Step 1
The laptop system gets very hot during use. That is why a cooling system is installed in any computer. However, over time, the laptop begins to overheat and cause significant inconvenience. It is best to install a utility immediately after purchase, with which you can constantly monitor the temperature of the system. It's very lightweight and doesn't waste a lot of resources. If your laptop is overheating above normal, then there are several ways to fix this phenomenon.
Step 2
Try adjusting power saving mode. Remember that the laptop only gets hot when it is in use. Configure the system in the optimal way. Set the intervals after which the laptop will go into sleep mode. Note that the screen off also helps reduce heat build-up. Check how many resources are being used by programs running in the background. Leave only the ones you need working.
Step 3
Another way to lower the temperature is to raise the rear of the laptop slightly. The vents are usually located on the bottom or in the keyboard. Raising the laptop slightly will allow more air circulation and lower the temperature level of the system.
Step 4
Buy a ventilation pad. It is usually powered by a USB port. Its essence lies in the fact that it has additional cooling fans, which help to cool the case and provide additional air flow. It should be noted that it is advisable to use it only when the laptop is running on AC power, since such a stand consumes a lot of energy.
Step 5
Clean the cooling system regularly. Over time, a lot of airborne dust collects on the fan blades. This dust begins to interfere with normal operation, so the fans begin to cool the laptop worse and the temperature rises steadily. To clean it, you must remove the chassis parts covering the fans to gain access to the cooling system. Clean the entire system with brushes and a can of compressed air.
Step 6
It is also necessary to change the thermal paste over time. It is the link between the microprocessor and the cooling heatsink. If the thermal paste begins to lose its qualities, then it ceases to conduct heat. Replacing thermal paste is a simple process, so you can do it yourself at home. However, if your laptop is still under warranty, then you need to take it to a service center so that the warranty will not be canceled due to unauthorized interventions.
