Resolved CPU temperature

On advice (from Arie I think) in another thread) I used an air spray to clean my fan. And my idle temp is now between 59c-62c.Up to 70c after playing a game. Is that still too high.
I only removed the cpu casing to do the clean, can I remove the whole casing and actually take out the fan and if so are there pitfalls to be wary of.
Thanks

 

yes Steve, that the oen
Thanks

 

Generally, and unlike a PC, opening up the entire case on notebooks is something that should be left to an experienced repair person. Certainly, any door, compartment cover, or cavity/bay should be opened and carefully blasted out so I would recommend removing the battery, drives, cards, and other covers to clear out dust and dirt.

Understand that notebooks, in spite of what the some notebook makers claim, do not make good gaming machines. Notebook cases are simply incapable of meeting the cooling demands of such demanding tasks. I recommend you get a Notebook Cooling Pad w/ext. power supply.

 

Thanks

Thanks Bill, as it happens I was just looking at the idea of a cooling pad and I will take your advice

You are welcome. Note I recommend a pad with an external power supply. These tend to be harder to find as most get power from the notebook's USB port. They work, but since they consume power too, it just adds to the demands on a system already struggling with heat issues. That just seems counterproductive to me.
