Hello everyone,
From time to time users mention that there laptops maybe getting louder or hotter and personally i find that when that is the case the majority of the time that this is a result of dust build up in the machine. Laptops in particular require a lot of cooling and the the fans at the bottom of the case suck up any dust and animal hairs etc lying underneath it and being in such a small case this can build up quite quickly. For example i have laminate floors, a dog and a cat who climbs over every surface including tables i put my laptop on.
I wanted to put together this quick guide so that other users could see how easy it is to clean out the guts of your laptop.
For this example i am using my Vortex 2 which i purchased just over 2 years ago. Different laptops will have different arrangements in side but using this guide and your PCS manual you should be able to achieve the same results. Pleas also note im sure that there are safer ways, different ways etc however this is the way i have been performing mine and if there are other tips i would appreciate them in the comments below for myself and other users.
