  • This is my daughters gaming laptop. This laptop is about 1.5 years old, and due for a good cleaning. This method should work with most laptops, all though the tear down will be different. Plus, this can help with cooling fan replacements if needed.

    in that spot on my laptop, there is just a hollow plastic thing that doesn't seem to have any purpose.

    Does only one fan work while browsing or using the laptop for light work ?
    I found that only one fan is spinning while browsing but both of them work while gaming,does your laptop do the same or my fan is malfunctioning?
    Also fan speed software lable the nonspining fan as CPU fan, aren't both them for both the CPU and the GPU ?

    • @MrDarkcore

      I believe so, mine did this also. That’s why I cleaned it thinking the fan was clogged. In my laptop the cpu and gpu use the same heat sink, so for light work it’s uses one and gaming it uses both.

      Does it have any other issues like crashes or high temp under load? My first guess would be if it maybe a fan blade broke or something got sucked into the fan if it’s a constant noise.

    Please help me! Its been a few days since my hp gaming laptop makes this weird throttling sound. I have a similar laptop like yours and it turns out that the left fan did this loud sound. I compared both fan movement and it seems like the left fan have something in it that reduces the speed of the fan while the right fan works normally fine. Tried putting just the tip of my finger to the left fan and suddenly the speed of the left fan went to normal. But when i let go of my finger it makes the stupid loud sound again and it also seems like the fan vibrates way too much when i no longer touching it. I dont know what is going on with this thing but can you please help me? Thank you 😢

    • @MrDarkcore

      That’s normal for the fans run like that while gaming since depending on the game it puts a lot of demand on the cpu/gpu so things get hot.

    Hey. I have a asus tuf gaming laptop and it's been very loud. I would like to clean it out. Is there any way this cleaning process could go wrong and damage the laptop? Because it's very expensive and I don't want to damage it 😂

    • @MrDarkcore

      Well, that’s the risk with cleaning them. You could always try canned air/air duster to blow out the dust through the vents in the laptop.

    Just checking is this method perfectly safe as I got this exact laptop for Christmas and am really cautious about it. It looks fine but just want to check as I bought it for a lot of money I probably wont get again for a long long time.

      This past Christmas? I wouldn't worry about cleaning it just yet. Unless you're having cooling issues. Also sorry, your comment was held for review. idk why lol

    if you can see my questions probanly not but why is my laptop hot when i play more an hour

    • @MrDarkcore
      @MrDarkcore  Před 2 lety

      Well normally they get decently hot around 95 degrees (35 C). Also games put a lot of load on the cpu/gpu so it will get hot, I would only be concerned if it’s older laptop, and hasn’t be cleaned or thermal paste hasn’t be replace done.

    I think I did something wrong😊 I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it’s not turning on anymore

    • @MrDarkcore
      @MrDarkcore  Před 2 měsíci

      I would first try holding the power button down for 15 to 30 seconds. Make sure the laptop isn’t plugged into the wall as well. If this doesn’t work let me know.
