Plus, a computer that runs way too hot is likely to become a big concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why you need to figure out how to keep your laptop cool. Most of the fixes below are effective in keeping your laptop running at an acceptable temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modern-Apple-MacBook-and-Coffee-Cup-On-the-Table-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Modern Apple MacBook and Coffee Cup On the Table\" class=\"wp-image-7862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modern-Apple-MacBook-and-Coffee-Cup-On-the-Table.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modern-Apple-MacBook-and-Coffee-Cup-On-the-Table-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modern-Apple-MacBook-and-Coffee-Cup-On-the-Table-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_Your_Laptop_on_a_Flat_Surface\"><\/span>1. Use Your Laptop on a Flat Surface<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your laptop cools by sucking cool air from the outside world into the laptop's case. The air is pulled in by the fan over the heat sink of your CPU (and sometimes GPU). This cool air picks up heat from the heat sink and gets blown out as warm air. The cycle continues to keep your laptop cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The location of the air vents on your laptop depends on the model that you have, but most laptops have the intake vents on the bottom of the system, while the exhaust vent is usually at the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use your laptop on a soft surface like your bed, the intake vents can end up being covered up. This makes it harder for your fans to pull in cool air and this can make your laptop's temperature go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why the best place to use your laptop is a flat surface. The rubber feet will lift it off the surface high enough so that there can be air flow to the intake vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, I understand that sometimes you want to be comfortable and use your computer while on your bed. In this case, a laptop stand <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BNN2GWZL?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"like this one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B0BNN2GWZL\" data-aawp-product-title=\"SOUNDANCE Laptop Stand for Desk Metal Computer Riser Heavy Stable PC Holder Ergonomic Laptops Elevator for 12 to 17.3 Inches Notebook Computer Silver\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">like this one<\/a> can be all you need. Basically, just make sure that air can always get into the fan intakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Clean_Your_Laptop_Fans\"><\/span>2. Clean Your Laptop Fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you filter every last bit of air that enters your room, any fans you have will pick up dust. This is especially true of your laptop's fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more dust that accumulates on the blades of a fan, the less air that fan will be able to push or pull with a single rotation. Plus, a lot of that dust can get caked in the heat sink, preventing hot air from being pushed out like it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why you've got to clean your laptop fans every so often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do this is to open up the laptop case, but every laptop uses a different set of steps and it might be too technical for some users, plus it might void your warranty. Fortunately, you can use compressed air as an alternative to clean your laptop from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a can of compressed air and using short bursts, blow it into the intake vent of your laptop. If there's a lot of dust, you'll almost always see it blow out of the exhaust. Do this until you can\u2019t notice any more dust coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can manage to open your computer's case, you should. This way, you can clean all the dust that has built up around the fans and the laptop's components. Make sure you unplug the computer and remove the battery when doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a soft toothbrush to dislodge the dust, and then use canned air to blow it away. You can use a microfiber cloth and 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean any more stubborn dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Internal-Parts-of-Laptop-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Internal Parts of Laptop\" class=\"wp-image-7860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Internal-Parts-of-Laptop.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Internal-Parts-of-Laptop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Internal-Parts-of-Laptop-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Buy_a_Laptop_Cooling_Pad\"><\/span>3. Buy a Laptop Cooling Pad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way that you can definitely make your laptop run cooler is by throwing more fans at it. The only real way to do this is by using a laptop cooling pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cooling pad is basically a laptop stand with an array of fans on its surface. When you place your laptop on one of these, it basically keeps a constant flow of air going to the underside of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only can laptop cooling pads bring down the temperature of your computer's case, but it can also provide an ample supply of air for the fans to suck in. If you have a dedicated GPU, this can help a lot when gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laptop cooling pads come in various forms. You can get models with <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B005C31HC0?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"one fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B005C31HC0\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim Ultra-Slim Laptop Cooling Pad with 160mm Fan  R9-NBC-XSLI-GP ,Black X-Slim\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">one fan<\/a>, <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00J0NZYOK?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"two fans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B00J0NZYOK\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Thermaltake Massive TM Aluminum Panel Dual 120mm Fans Adjustable Temperature Sensor 10 -17  Laptop Notebook Cooling Pad CL-N002-PL12BL-A,Black\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">two fans<\/a>, and even <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00NNMB3KS?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"three fans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B00NNMB3KS\" data-aawp-product-title=\"havit HV-F2056 15.6 -17  Laptop Cooler Cooling Pad - Slim Portable USB Powered  3 Fans  Black\/Blue\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">three fans<\/a>. Keep in mind that the number of fans doesn't necessarily correlate to how well it will cool. The size, speed, and positioning of the fans are more important factors to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Replace_Thermal_Paste\"><\/span>4. Replace Thermal Paste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The structure of a laptop is very different from that of a desktop, but there are still many similarities. Most laptops have the CPU and GPU soldered to the motherboard, but there's still a heat sink and heat pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means there has to be thermal paste to transfer heat effectively from the processor to the metal. In some cases, laptops use thermal pads instead of regular paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, in an older laptop, this thermal compound can dry up and that will prevent it from being able to transfer heat as effectively. This means that more heat builds up in the processor and eventually leads to thermal throttling and other overheating issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, it is time to get your overheating laptop opened up to replace the thermal paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How you crack open your laptop depends on the model, so make sure to search your laptop model and find a disassembly video or manual. You'll need to remove a lot of things to get access to the CPU and GPU in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, before you start, make sure that you have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Thermal paste, such as <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07L9BDY3T?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"this\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07L9BDY3T\" data-aawp-product-title=\"ARCTIC MX-4  4 g  - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors  CPU GPU - PC  Very high Thermal Conductivity Long Durability Safe Application Non-Conductive CPU Thermal Paste\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">this<\/a>; or a thermal pad like <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09X1YTXJP?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"this one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B09X1YTXJP\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Kritical Thermal Pads - Extreme Conductivity  20 W\/mK  - Designed specifically for GPU CPU and Other microelectronic  2.25 mm\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">this one<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Isopropyl alcohol (preferably 99%, anything lower means you will need to wait longer for it to dry)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper towels, microfiber cloths, or coffee filters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The necessary screwdrivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Replacing-Thermal-Paste-on-a-Laptop-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Replacing Thermal Paste on a Laptop\" class=\"wp-image-7863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Replacing-Thermal-Paste-on-a-Laptop.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Replacing-Thermal-Paste-on-a-Laptop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Replacing-Thermal-Paste-on-a-Laptop-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now that you've gotten everything, it is time to start the actual process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If your laptop has an internal battery, make sure to remove it. If it uses an external battery, you likely had to remove it to even open it up.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure that you have removed the heatsink from on top of the CPU. In some cases, you may need to unplug the fans. Gaming laptops usually have dedicated graphics cards, so these may share the same heatsink or have a separate one. It's a good idea to replace the thermal compound for both though.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once exposed, use your paper towel, microfiber, or coffee filter, damp with some isopropyl alcohol, to wipe all of the dried thermal paste off the CPU. Make sure that there's absolutely no residue left when you're done. Cotton swabs can help you get any residue in tight spots. Repeat the same process to remove the dried paste on the underside of the heatsink as well.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once both are completely clean, you can apply your thermal paste or thermal pad. A thermal pad is easier. You can get a product like this one, cut it to the exact size of the shiny metal part on the CPU, remove the foil or plastic sheet on both sides and then place it on the CPU.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With thermal paste, apply a pea-sized bit of it to the center of the CPU's metal part. Now, here's where things are different from applying it to a desktop CPU. Instead of letting the CPU cooler's baseplate spread the paste, we will manually do that using a plastic spatula. Make sure that it covers the entire IHS of the processor in a thin layer. Here's a video showing this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Asus ROG Strix Gaming Laptop Thermal Paste Replacement\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ljfRI6qL87M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Replace the heatsink. Make sure to lower it carefully from directly above. When it is time to screw it in, tighten each screw a bit and then move to the next one. Continue this cycle until it is fully tightened.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put your battery back in and close up your computer, and that's it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your computer has a dedicated GPU, you can follow steps 3 to 6 to get its thermal compound replaced too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Replace_Faulty_Fans\"><\/span>5. Replace Faulty Fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a new laptop, a faulty fan is unlikely to be a problem, but for a laptop that you have had for years, it can happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tell a faulty fan since it might move a lot slower than it normally does, or it might not work at all, which will definitely push your laptop's temperature up. It may also make abnormal sounds when spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the case, you can buy a replacement, open up your laptop, and replace it yourself. If this is too much for you though, you can just take it to a repair service to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Benefits_of_Keeping_Your_Laptop_Cooler\"><\/span>What Are the Benefits of Keeping Your Laptop Cooler?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are major benefits when you prevent overheating in your laptop. Keeping your laptop cool can make your laptop so much more of a joy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Laptops run much better when their temperatures are low. This is because when a processor gets too hot, your laptop can start doing what is known as thermal throttling. This is when it drops its performance to bring the heat level down. This can definitely get in the way of using your laptop in peace. If you experience random shutdowns, it could be another sign your laptop is overheating. This is because the laptop will switch off immediately when it gets into a temperature \"danger zone\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laptops are more comfortable to use when they are cooler. A hot laptop is annoying. It's too hot to put on your lap (and can potentially even burn you) and your hands will also get warm and sweaty when using it. On top of that, your laptop fan will constantly be at full blast to try and make the laptop cooler.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laptops are less likely to face any damage to the hardware when they are cooled well. Constant exposure to high temperatures is bound to have an effect on the hardware in your laptop. You want to make sure that you make your overheating laptop cooler to avoid shortening its lifespan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Laptop-on-the-Stand-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Laptop on the Stand\" class=\"wp-image-7861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Laptop-on-the-Stand.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Laptop-on-the-Stand-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Laptop-on-the-Stand-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more resources<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reduce the temperature of overheating laptops in many ways.
