Dust and CPU Temperature correlation
Hi all,
Well to be honest i am not a good maintainer of my laptop and you would find lots of smudge marks and stuff on my laptop unless i don't feel lazy enough to clean it all lol.
So my laptop was getting heated a bit even while playing this latest HTML game on IE9 Cut the Rope and CPU usage was nearing to almost 30%-40 %.Even playing low graphic intensive games which take a bit of CPU usage was making my laptop get heated and core temp were nearing 70 ˚C-80 ˚C.I analysed for few days and noticed high usage RAM applications didn't heat up my laptop only high CPU usage applications heated temp up.I mean normally if i browsing with chrome and 5-6 tabs are open plus few other apps,RAM usage was almost 35%-40 % and CPU usage hovered around 5-10 %.
Well what i mean to say is yesterday i got this instantaneous idea and decided to blow some air around the fan vents on bottom and side of my laptop and voila the temperature now hardly exceeds 40-50 ˚C when using low CPU usage apps and never goes beyond 60-65 ˚C while using high CPU usage apps.
The question i want to ask is how much correlation is there between dust accumulation inside the laptop and higher core temperature??and is there any safe way to open laptop back case and clean all dust?
My laptop is almost one year old and i use it extensively.
Thanks all
