So. I bought a can of compressed air, I blowed thoroughly in the input vent, it definitely made some dust go out the output vent (= between the keyboard keys), but the cpu still overheats even when idle.
The fan appears to be able to spin at reasonable speeds, since it reports 3900 RPM at some times. Based on previous experience, if the fan sensor is as accurate as before, this report should be taken as exact. However, this fan speed is only reported for a very short amount of time, as if the cooling policy specified to turn the fan to full speed only between 60 and 62°.
Question is not so much if it doesn't overheat anymore but if it takes longer. I'm not using the compressed air as I find it's pretty much impossible to really clean the parts properly with it. It just doesn't generate enough force. Especially in spaces that are enclosed a lot. It's just easier to take it apart. You can find service manuals that guide your step by step through the disassembly on the notebook's manufacturer's web pages. - -- Jan Matějka | QA Engineer for Maintenance SUSE LINUX s.r.o. | https://www.suse.com/ GPG: A33E F5BC A9F6 DAFD 2021 6FB6 3EBF D45B EEB6 CA8B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJVQMpTAAoJEIN+7RD5ejahD+8IAJRF/7uIwhmhvAIrsysTfBwW A6aFWT3UeduQO8aiWNCpLCCy15x6f0aiqr7BVWPkjBkzgNicaVYnJgqaIzcHid0f CrkwUMVLZdxqS+bVeVfq2DTc0ZufLn9dAOMi3JMBaaXZnLJOLuiX0HAQcdmi/PYy UiRuIu6R+gqkrNzAsRsJyZaW2Ivko8lQmF6wuk5BK5pJuKe/a1ybflebhP35FOOq jmt1X5yEb7JOHOkMnc1zTtB2VBeAKFQixQCsvxD+z5VIwIyJOLw0eCBQmsSUCoL4 tgM9r+0RDwDhcJg62aZz1+dsLWJz8rATqeJoF12FBK1x36gFu5lKhrrkstgZXM8= =S0/r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- N�����r��y隊Z)z{.���r�+�맲��r��z�^�ˬz��N�(�֜��^� ޭ隊Z)z{.���r�+��0�����Ǩ�
