It's common to encounter this situation when using a laptop like that. The external vent on the side suddenly gives a whir, and you can feel the warm air when placing your hand near the exhaust vents. This is because the vents automatically speed up when the computer temperature is high. And we all know that a high temperature would cause inefficiency CPU, a computer of slow running speed or even cause a computer to freeze.
It's normal for laptops to be hot occasionally. But there will be a negative impact on the lifespan of the laptops when it happens a lot. Therefore, it's necessary to take measures to cool down the laptop in daily use. In this post, we'll walk you through several ways to cool down your laptop during usage and also the reason why a laptop is too hot.
We can solve problems easier if we figure out the reason which causes the high temperature of notebooks. The common reasons are listed as follows.
1. CPU has high usage. In a word, the CPU has been in a state of heavy work.
2. The heat dissipation of notebooks is not good, resulting in high temperatures.
3. The temperature of the environment is too high.
After knowing the reasons why the temperature of notebooks is high, we can find out targeted solutions to solve problems.
We can use Windows Task Manager to see which programs or services are running all the time and taking up a lot of CPU space. You can use Windows Task Manager in the way below:
Step 1. Enter taskmgr in the search box in the bottom left corner of the desktop and click Task Manager to open it. Then you can see the interface of Windows Task Manager.
Step 2. Choose the Processes tab, then you can know which app or program is using a lot of space of CPU.
Step 3. Right-click the process, choose End Process. If the process is a service, you need to stop the service run automatically at startup in windows, see How to Disable Startup Programs in Windows 10.
After you stop those programs that cause high usage of CPU, you will notice that your laptop becomes quiet and its vent is also not hot.
When there is too much dust accumulated in air intakes and vents, the laptop always has a poor heat dissipation efficiency. It's also the common reason why a laptop has bad heat dissipation. The solution is to gently scrape the dust on air intakes and vents with a brush. Of course, it's better to open the notebook and clean up the dust.
If the laptop is still too hot after cleaning up the dust, we recommended elevating the laptop for better cooling. A notebook cooling pad is an effective tool for heat dissipation. It can elevate laptops for more space for heat dissipation but also has a fan to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation.
A place with a high temperature also causes the temperature of notebooks to be overheated. In daily life, it is easy to find that when we work with laptops in a high-temperature place, laptops heating up faster and their heat dissipation is slower than before.
The effective solution is to reduce the temperature of the places, improve ventilation and heat dissipation. For example, you can turn on fans or air conditioners. Or directly changing a place with a lower temperature to use notebooks.
