1. Open the laptop case to access the CPU fan and the heatsink. Sometimes, you can access the heatsink through the latch on the bottom of the laptop. In some cases, you have to open the laptop case down.

2. You must remove the fan by carefully disconnecting the fan cables on the system board. We recommend replacing the fan if it makes an unusual sound, such as a grinding sound when it spins.

3. With the help of compressed air, clean the fan and the heatsink.

4. We recommend applying new grease for better heat conductivity by removing the old thermal fat from the CPU.

You can also use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the Dust accumulated on the fan and the heat sink. We would also recommend you use a powerful air compressor instead of a vacuum cleaner.
