So I decided to take apart my laptop today and give it a good blow job... get your mind out of the gutter! lol
Anywho, I got sick of hearing my fan run at high speeds while the system was basically idling. I decided to see what the temperatures on the CPU were in a before/after scenario.
Before
Average temp at idle: 75 *C
Average fan speed: 5000 rpm
Average temp at max load: 85 *C
Average fan speed: 6000 rpm
After
Average temp at idle: 67*C
Average fan speed: 3700 rpm
Average temp at max load: 75 *C
Average fan speed: 5000 rpm
Isn't it amazing what a little dust can do to your computer... This makes me want to go blow out my PS3 so it doesn't YLOD!
