Over Heating
A laptop is an extensive investment that
requires a great care from your side so that it keeps on running for years.
Many laptops (almost 90%) face the problem of overheating. This overheating can
cause the laptop to show abnormal behaviour thereby causing the internal
machinery to fail. Today we will be discussing the techniques and methods that
are available today so that your laptop runs smoothly for many years to come.
1. Compressed Air:
While working with laptop in dusty condition
then there are chances that the dust gets deposited on the circulating and
cooling vents thereby choking them altogether. This can cause the fan to get
over worked as the head will not be dissipated as efficiently. Thus the fan
will work at dangerously high temperatures. So in order to avoid this situation
buy a can of compressed air from a nearby computer store and it will cost you
only some dollars. Take this can and spray it on the vents of your laptop. This
will remove all the dust and keep your laptop cool.
2. Power Setting:
When we work on the laptop that is on the
charging then we set the mode as “High Performance”. This setting will consume
the most power and will cause your laptop to overheat. A simple remedy to this
problem is to set the laptop in the balanced or power saver mode. This will
ensure that your laptop consumes only that amount of power that is required by
it. Thus a large amount of heat is saved from generating by avoiding the large
speeds of the processor. When the laptop is used for playing games then you
should set the mode of your laptop to “High Performance”.
3. Surface:
While we are working the laptop then it can
be quite comfortable when we place it on the pillow or blanket. But the fact is
these surfaces choke the vents of your laptop thereby causing it to overheat.
The soft nature of the surface will not allow the heat to escape and thus will
be reflected back into the internal machinery. The best surface on which you
should keep your laptop is the flat one such as a table. If you want to keep it
on some soft surface then you should keep it on some hard cover book or similar
surface. This will allow proper flow of air and heat to escape out of the
system properly.
4. Powering Off Your Laptop:
When you see that you might not be working
on your laptop then you must switch it off rather than keeping it on the
standby. We would not suggest you “hibernate” option as it will take a toll on
your RAM. Powering off your laptop will keep it cool and doesn’t eat away the
battery. It is as simple as that.
5. Cooling Pad:
You can invest some
money on your laptop then you can consider using a cooling pad for your laptop.
For about starting from Rs.600 to Rs.2000 you can get a cooling pad for your laptop
and believe me it is every worth of the penny you spend on it.
