Question

Lap Top cleaning

Which Lap tops are easiest to open and clean the vents, fans and heat sinks? It seems this is a critical issue with Lap Tops since they all are prone to over heating.

Why open it?

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jun 7, 2016 8:40AM PDT

My son has this 2010 Asus ROG gaming laptop. In 6 years we never opened it but followed my advice of 1st of the month vent cleaning. Along the way we changed out the HDD to SSD and it was very clean inside. Considering that we would forget an occasional 1st of the month cleaning I think it was spotless.

It was used almost solely on a passive laptop cooling stand too.
