When you are engrossed in using a laptop, you often find the laptop getting hotter. What’s more, laptops become dirty and dusty more easily. However, often you just let this go.
In fact, there will be quite a large impact if this situation is not considered further. This incident if left alone can cause hardware to become more easily damaged. If that’s the case, then you have to replace the damaged hardware with new hardware.

What Causes Laptops to Heat Faster or Overheat?
Investigate a calibaration, it turns out that what causes your laptop to heat up easily is dust. Actually there is nothing wrong with dust, because dust is only small particles that are few in number and do not interfere.
However, this dust will be a reason for the laptop to become hot if the accumulated dust on the laptop is never cleaned. If this is the case, it will be easier for dust to enter the air vents because the fan is inhaled from the laptop.
If this is the case, the dust in the fan will accumulate from a small amount to more and can even clog the air vents. This is what makes the air circulation on the laptop not smooth and causes the laptop to heat up more easily.

Then, what are the risks that can occur due to accumulated dust?
No one knows when the nested dust will make the laptop you use damaged and problematic. Indeed, the presence of dust attached to the laptop cannot be detected easily. In fact, many people tend to be ignorant, especially those who do not understand computer components.
One risk is that if you let this dust get too much and lodge in the laptop, this will have an impact on the existence of the hardware you have. One of them is the occurrence of overheating which is too often one of the main symptoms of your laptop hardware problem.
If this is left continuously without any handling, then your laptop’s processor fan will not be able to work optimally. If it is so, believe me the temperature of the processor will heat up faster than before.
If this is allowed to continue, then the processor fan will send a signal to the system and turn off the function itself. If this is the case, then other laptop hardware will also experience other damage such as the RAM and hard disk.

If so, what is the solution?
There is one right solution and you can do it yourself to prevent other damage to the hardware, one of which is by cleaning the laptop. Unfortunately, cleaning this laptop is quite easy and difficult.
Why is that, cleaning a laptop will be easy if the laptop case is easy to open. However, cleaning a laptop will also be difficult if the case is permanent and easy to open.
For those of you who have a laptop with a casing that is easy to open, then this method of cleaning dust is very easy. You only need to open the casing, and clean the laptop using a dry cloth.
Meanwhile, to clean the fan, you can clean it using an air compressor. It should be noted when using this compressor to be careful. If it’s too tight, it can have an impact on the dynamo underneath.

Then, how to clean a laptop whose casing is difficult to remove?
Don’t worry, for those of you who have a laptop with a hard-to-remove case, there is a solution for cleaning your laptop without removing the case at all.
1. The First Way
The trick is to shoot air using compressed air or an air duster in the ventilation section on the side of the laptop. It aims to clean the dust that clogs the air vents. Unfortunately, you need extra air to clean this dust. Because, the available space on the ventilation is very narrow.
For those of you who are confused about where to find an air compressor, take it easy, you can find this tool easily at a hardware store or online store, just write Air Duster in the search column. Prices also vary from 50 thousand.
If there is no air compressor, then you can also use a motorized vehicle air compressor. Even though it is bigger, its function is almost the same. It’s just that, you need to be careful, because the air motor compressor will be much more risky when compared to an ordinary air compressor. And we really don’t recommend using a blower that uses electricity or is strong because it’s a pity that the components inside your laptop can be damaged.
2. With Hand Blower
If this second method is fairly cheap and only uses your hands, you can look for it in a camera shop or online shop, just write a Hand Blower, the price starts from 20 thousand, how to use it, just press and hold on to the laptop ventilation hole repeatedly so that the dust comes out. Weaknesses if using this tool hands can get tired.
If you have cleaned according to the instructions above, after that you check the temperature of your laptop, you can use the Speedfan or HWMonitor application
Check all temperatures to make sure they are normal, if they are idle or not open, the normal temperature is in the range of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius. The smaller the temperature number the better, don’t flip it.

Now you should not underestimate the dust that is on the laptop. Clean regularly so that the dust does not get inhaled by the laptop fan. This is also one way to clean the laptop so that it is always neat and looks shiny, once a month or once every 3 months so that the laptop’s performance is maintained.
