Tips for Making a Hot Laptop Cooler


Ways to Keep a Laptop Cool

  1. Adjust your power settings from High Performance to a Balanced or Power Saver plan. This tweak will tell the system to only use the power required to run your applications, rather than always using the maximum processor speed. If you need to play games or other intensive work, you can switch back to the high-performance plan as needed.


  1. Use dust remover spray to clean the laptop's vents. Dust accumulates in the laptop's fan vents—a problem easily solved with a can of compressed air, usually less than $10. Turn off your laptop and spray the vent to remove the dust.
  2. Use a laptop cooling pad that has a fan or two. Laptop pads that have vents but no fans can also increase the airflow around your laptop but for stronger cooling needs, a fan is the best way to go. We've used the Belkin F5L055 (under $30) and been happy with it, but there are many other options in the market.



  1. Keep your working environment or computer room as comfortably cool as possible. Computers, like most people, work much better in air-conditioned environments. Most server rooms or data centers operate at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less, according to Server Fault, and that seems like an ideal temperature recommendation for home offices as well.




Check and Clean The Fans

Whenever you feel your laptop getting hot, place your hand just next to the fan vents. You will know whether the laptop’s fan is working properly if you feel hot air blowing out of the vents. If you feel very little or no air, then dust might have accumulated on the fan or it has broken down. You can open up the machine and blow out the dust with some relatively compressed air. If the fan has broken down, look for a new replacement. Note that if you are not comfortable opening up the laptop, get a professional to do it




Elevate Your Laptop

Overheating can be caused by lack of inadequate ventilation under the laptop. This can be solved by elevating your computer and putting a small book under the machine. Apart from using a book, it's even better to purchase a laptop cooling mat to provide enough standard ventilation under your machine. There are varieties of cooling mats available, and you can purchase one online.




Use A Lap Desk

Another method to provide enough ventilation is the use of a lap desk. The small rubber feet on the bottom provides standard elevation to enhance airflow underneath your laptop. However, some people place laptops on their laps when using them. This restricts airflow under the laptop and leads to overheating. A lap desk helps in maintaining constant airflow, keeping your laptop cool.




Controlling Fan Speeds

Constant airflow within your laptop prevents your fans from running at full speeds. When your fan is running at high speeds, it implies that the CPU is working hard and it may get hotter. You can control fan speeds by installing programs such as SpeedFan for Windows.




Avoid Using Intense Processes

Overheating in your laptop may be as a result of intense processes. You can keep your laptop cool by avoiding such processes on your machine. For instance, browsers with video Flash will subject the CPU to hard work. The CPU will start getting hotter and increase fan speeds. Therefore, it’s advisable to use a FlashBlock in your browser so that flash videos are only turned on whenever needed.



Keep Your Laptop Out Of The Heat

Lastly, overheating of your laptop may occur due to extreme exposure to direct hot sunlight, especially during summer. High temperatures may cause a computer to overheat due to an expansion of hard drive and battery damage. Therefore, you should keep your laptop in the shade whenever temperatures are high. When your laptop is shutting down and experiencing serious slowdowns as a result of overheating, it’s advisable to get it repaired as soon as possible.
