Most laptops (laptops) become too hot because the fan under the base is blocked, causing the hard drive to quickly weaken. By using one (or all) of the methods below, your laptop will be cooler and running smoothly.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Ventilation

1. 

   Millet higher laptop. Place a book or something (like an iPod docking station) under the laptop's battery when it's on a table. This slight tilt allows more air to circulate underneath and keeps the temperature of the unit significantly lower. Be sure to check carefully not to let the book block the vents below.
   • If the book blocks the wind a lot, you can use a less flat object. Try sticking the four boxes in the egg tray onto the four corners of the laptop. You can stick with adhesive tape / protective tape, or use duct-coated zinc for easy bends.

Method 2 of 3: Keep the machine cool

1. 

   
   
   Buy a heat sink / laptop cooler. There are many brands to choose from (Thermaltake, Xion, Targus), you can find them on Lazada, Shopee, etc. You can even buy a lift table or computer stand with ventilation.
   • If you can't find, or can't afford to buy, a heatsink, put something hard under your laptop instead of soft material. For example, you can use a plastic box, a folding table or even a piece of wood to create a hard, flat and more breathable surface.
   • Do not use the laptop on a soft surface such as a sofa, carpet, folding blanket or pillow. The ventilation hole below the laptop will be blocked, limiting the circulation of air, so the machine heats up. Even if it is too hot it can catch fire and cause a fire.

2. 

   
   
   Keep the surroundings cool. You should use the laptop in an air-conditioned or cool environment to make it cooler, not too hot.

3. 

   Consider using a radiator. Use a thin steel bar instead of a removable cooler. The mechanism of action is that the laptop must transfer enough heat to the metal block for the machine to become too hot. This means that the larger the steel bar, the longer it will heat up. But this only works if your laptop case is metal and feels hot to the touch. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Install on computer

1. 

   
   
   Set temperature monitoring program. You can find it online.

2. 

   Stop overclocking. If you overclock, your computer will get hotter than usual. If you do not do that, you do not need to lower the clock because this will make your computer slow.

3. 

   Reduce maximum processor state. Note that this only works on Windows. You can also do this on a Mac, but it's more complicated than it is with Windows. Click on the battery and select “more power options” (more power options). Click “Change plan settings” immediately the state you are currently using, then click “Advanced power settings”. Click on “processor power management” then “maximum processor states”. Set both sources to 70-90% (80% is recommended).

4. 

   Reduce brightness. This way is also very effective! advertisement

Advice

• Use a spray of compressed air to blow on the radiator once a month to remove dust or debris and help the fan operate more smoothly. Using a vacuum cleaner can cause electrostatic discharge and damage laptop components.
• Occasionally, you have to clean your laptop thoroughly so that dirt does not get into every corner of the machine.
• If you have been using a laptop for a long time, you should consider replacing the battery.
• You can prop your computer with the spare metal grill of an oven or microwave, both balanced and ventilated.
• SMC fan control allows you to set different fan modes according to the behavior of your Mac computer; The program will maintain the machine's temperature at about 40 degrees, you can consider using this method to cool the laptop.
• You should try to limit the time you use your laptop.
• If you can't find the heatsink, try turning the baking tray upside down on top of the frozen vegetables and then wrap everything up with a towel.
• Although the word laptop has the word "lap" (English means "thigh"), you should not put the device on your lap for a long time because the fabric will block the air flow, and dust and feathers can be absorbed by the fan The machine heats up.
• If your laptop has been used for a long time (about 3 years or more), you should consider replacing thermal or silicon compounds under the heat pipe where components such as the CPU and GPU are located in your computer.

Warning

• Never block the laptop's cooling fan.
• Do not use duct tape to tape the ventilation hole under the laptop again.
• Do not place the laptop on your lap when it is hot.
