Ineffective case cooling is one of the top reasons for laptop hardware failures. Anyone can keep their computer running cooler in four (4) easy and low cost ways. Many tops quickly overheat because the case fan is blocked and stops critical cool air flow. Overheating can slow computer performance down to a crawl and stop it permanently from working. Your notebook will last longer and run cooler, with less hardware failures, through these simple steps.
Easy Ways To Stay Cool
1) If you are like everyone else, sooner or later your laptop ends up on your lap. Many case fans are located on the bottom side of the case. If your computer is sitting on your legs, than you are blocking cool air flow from reaching to inside of your case. This is not good. Overheating can happen quickly.
To keep it cooler, grab a thick small book and sit your case on it. Be mindful not to block your bottom case fan with the book. This will place cool air flow space between your case fan and your legs. An empty egg carton cut in half, also works very well too. This will help to keep your computer and your legs much cooler.
2) A good portion of our planets population live in very hot temperature zones. If you are outside on a hot day with your top, find some shade before using it. Never use it out in the hot sun. The temperature inside of a computer case in the hot sun can reach over 300 (°F) in less than a minute. Hardware failure of your LCD screen, CPU, hard drive or motherboard is sure to happen. So keep your notebook and yourself cool by sitting in the shade. Even in the shade use it for limit Time just a hot summer day.
3) to invest in a cooling pad, cooling fans, or stand on. Even a low-cost less than $ 20.00 will be a good amount of additional cooling. This is enough to add extra cooling to your existing case fan cooling fan cooling pad connected externally. An additional fan complements your existing computer cooling and reduce overheating problems. Other supporters ofincrease cooling and less long term heat damage.
4) Keep your LCD screen, keyboard and fan grill clean and dust free. Try not to use your laptop in a dusty or dirty environment. Dust and dirt will quickly build up on your case fan. This build up over a short period of time will stop critical cool air flow from reaching your CPU, hard drive or motherboard inside of your case. Clean your case and your fan grill often.
