Hi all
I have been using my 3 yrs old lap top on my knees and over the last 1 year i had noticed the fan was on more i have 2 and also at a higher speed!!! :o
lap top out of warranty so i asked our IT tech at work and she said all loptops should have a back off and case clean and fan clean with electrical no residue cleaner and dried with can of air total cost about £4.00 each small cans needed.every year!!!
this I did today total time 1.00 hr and the amount of dust hidden on the inside of the vents and on the fan hidden under the keyboard was a lot.
My lap top has never been in a real dusty environment but the best part is the temperatures at idle are down from 56 to 62 deg cent to 42 to 46 deg cent.Taken over several days and same ambient temp.
But i can hear my taps on the keyboard since the clean ;D fan so so quiet.
Our IT tech said so many laptops overheat because of simple and tiny amounts of fluff and dust and many laptops have a hidden fan often under the keyboard. >:( out of sight!!!
Also have a look at free software called PC wizard 2007 and fan speed.
well worth down loading.
and please post your lap top temperatures most newish chips have sensors to shut down the lap top before they go to lap top hell :
Please note most cpu chips have a maximum temp and mine is just over 73 deg c and before the clean resting temp was 62 deg c. not much in reserve :-[
;D Hope the above is good info for anyone
OH by the way avast rocks had a zlob 32 ???

Nice information, Jay, and thanks for posting it. Hopefully, this will help those who use laptops.
