[QUOTE="Exterminator, post: 332686, member: 2930"] On a desktop you might have to apply new Thermal paste after many years but on a Laptop that might be quite a task.If your Laptop was heating up and shutting itself down then I would say it might be an issue. I always have a few cans of air so I can regularly blow out the dust,hair from pets etc.Temps will fluctuate depending on the workload placed on the CPU so as long as you are not getting frequent freezing and or sporadic shutdowns I would say there is no need to worry. Frequent cleaning with air is one of the easiest and most important maintenance things you can do for your PC.Dust & dirt can lead to similar problems. I have only adjusted the fan speed on my Video card in the past and have never adjusted the speed of my other fans. [/QUOTE]
