Laptops have always been popular high-tech products, mainly because their portability is unparalleled by desktop computers. Their small size and convenience in transportation and use have become definite advantages. However, laptops have many drawbacks, especially gaming laptops, which can experience severe overheating during use. This is due to the limited indoor space of laptops. In fact, poor heat dissipation is a common problem with laptops, and we cannot disassemble the heat exchange tubes and radiators of laptops. As summer approaches, with the rise in natural temperatures and the full load of mobile games, the heat generated on the computer increases. Prolonged use will cause the computer to become increasingly slow and may even lead to system crashes and blue screens. Today, I will give you several tips to solve the problem of laptop lag.

1. High working temperature

Too high working temperature will cause the laptop heat dissipation efficiency to be low.

Especially in the hot summer, the CPU, discrete graphics card, and other heat-generating parts inside the laptop are very prone to insufficient heat dissipation. This is because the external temperature is too high, causing the heat dissipation efficiency to decrease. If there is central air conditioning, it is recommended to turn it on to reduce the room temperature.

2. Regularly clean dust and replace thermal paste

In addition to new laptops, it is recommended to disassemble the laptop to remove dust. Excessive dust accumulation will seriously affect the heat dissipation characteristics of the laptop, especially when the ventilation holes are blocked by dust.

When cleaning the dust of the laptop, it is recommended to replace the thermal paste on the CPU and discrete graphics card to prevent the thermal paste from hardening. Check whether the fan is running again.

If there is dust accumulation, it will seriously affect the heat dissipation characteristics of the laptop. If the fan is damaged, please replace it immediately. If you cannot disassemble it, you can clean it at the after-sales service or repair location.

Remember when I was studying, due to too much dust on the computer, the startup noise was very loud, but I didn’t have a can of air, so I chose to blow with my mouth, which indeed had a certain effect. Later, I used an electric hair dryer, and it worked, but I don’t recommend doing it this way.

We can use a can of air, or if there is no can of air, we can use an electric hair dryer to blow into the fan port of the laptop to remove some dust. Remember when I was studying, I used to blow with my mouth because there was no electric hair dryer.

3. Add external cooling devices

Laptops cannot remove the internal heat pipe cooler, but they can be cooled down by external cooling devices, and there are many cooling devices for laptops on the Internet.

Once the temperature of the laptop is too high, the internal CPU and discrete graphics card will automatically reduce the frame rate, which is why the computer is very slow when the temperature is high.

4. Turn off unnecessary programs

Many mobile software on the computer are set to start automatically, which undoubtedly increases the pressure on the computer. We can turn off these mobile software to reduce CPU pressure, and we should also get into the habit of turning off some background management software.

The key reason for the serious overheating of laptops is the accumulation of dust, therefore, it is crucial to regularly clean the internal dust of laptops, and another solution is to connect an external laptop cooling device.
