Coolest Laptop Cooling Part 2

Ineffective laptop cooling is one of the top reasons for laptop hardware failures.  Anyone can keep their laptop running cooler in five (5) easy and low cost ways.  Many tops quickly overheat because the computer fan is blocked and stops critical cool air flow. Overheating can slow a laptop performance down to a crawl and stop it permanently from working.   Your laptop will last longer and run cooler, with less hardware failures, through these simple steps. 

 Easy Ways To Keep Your Laptop Cooler

1)   If you are like everyone else, sooner or later your laptop ends up on your lap.  Many laptop fans are located on the bottom side of the laptop case.  If your laptop is sitting on your lap, than you are blocking cool air flow from reaching  to inside of your case. This is not good.  Hardware overheating can happen quickly. Grab a thick small book and sit your laptop on it.  Be mindful not to block your bottom case fan with the book.  This will place cool air flow space between your case fan and your lap.  I also heard that an empty egg carton cut in half also works very well too.  This will help to keep your computer and your legs much cooler.

2)  A good portion of the planets population live in very hot temperature zones.  If you are outside on a hot day with your laptop, find some shade before using your laptop.  Never use your laptop out in the hot sun.  The temperature inside of a laptop in the hot sun can reach over 300 (°F) in less than a minute.  Laptop hardware failure is sure to happen.  So keep your laptop and yourself cool by sitting in the shade.  Even in the shade use your laptop for a limit time only on a hot summer day.

3) Think about investing in a laptop cooling pad.  Even a low cost one for less than $20.00 will provide a good amount of additional cooling for your laptop computer. They simply add extra cooling on top of your existing laptop cooling case fan, from externally attached laptop cooling pad fans.  An extra computer fan for your top will complement your existing cooling and reduce overheating issues.  More fans equals increase cooling and less long term heat damage.

4)  Keep your laptop case clean and dust free.  Try not to use your computer in a dusty or dirty air environment.  Dust and dirt will quickly build up on your case fan. This build up over a period of time will stop critical cool air flow from reaching your hardware.  Clean your case and your fan grill often.
