My 2 years 6 months notebook pc is overheating. So I tried almost all possible solutions I can find for it. But still does overheat!
What I tried:
Cleaning the insides: Fan/Heatsink/Removing and reapplying the thermal compund
Disabling "Fan always on"
Reducing Maximum Processor state
I've always used a cooling pad beneath it
Greasing the cooling fan inside
(These seemed to have worked for a day or two then went back to overheating again and again)
So, Do I really need to buy a fan replacement? And what if this doesn't solve my problem, it will only waste my money and I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare. This machine was doing pretty great until this overheating problem occured, I used to multi-task using several programs while even playing online games. But suddenly everything changed, when the fire nation attacked. My laptop started turning itself off because it reaches 100c when I'm playing games or watching streaming videos! :catfrustrated:
