Heat is one of the worst enemies of laptops. Laptop batteries age more quickly when they’re hot for a long period of time, and\u00a0<\/span>overheating can destroy other hardware parts, causing system freezing and worse problems. Whether or not you’re experiencing the\u00a0<\/span>warning signs and dangers of your laptop overheating, take the simple and inexpensive protective measures below to keep your laptop cool and make it work more reliably.<\/p>\n

Easy Tips for Making a Hot Laptop Cooler<\/h3>\n

\n1. Use a laptop cooling pad that has a fan or two.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Laptop pads that have vents but no fans can also increase the airflow around your laptop and they’re very portable, but for stronger cooling needs, a fan is the best way to go.<\/p>\n

2. Use dust remover spray to clean out of the laptop’s vents.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Dust can accumulate in and block the laptop’s fan vents — a problem easily solved with a\u00a0<\/span>can of compressed gas. Turn off your laptop and spray the vent to remove the dust.<\/p>\n

3. Keep your working environment or computer room as comfortably cool as possible. <\/span><\/strong>Laptop c<\/span>omputers, like most people, work much better in air conditioned environments. Most server rooms or data logger<\/a> centers operate at 70 degrees or below, according to\u00a0<\/span>Server Fault, and that seems like an ideal temperature recommendation for\u00a0<\/span>home offices\u00a0<\/span>as well.<\/p>\n

4. Adjust your power settings from “high performance” to a more “balanced” or “power saver” plan.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>This will tell the system to only use the Dell latitude e6400 battery power<\/a> required to run your applications, rather than always using the maximum processor speed; if you need to play games or other intensive work, you can switch back to the high performance plan as necessary.<\/p>\n

5. Shut down your laptop computer when not in use, and especially when you are not at home.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The last thing you need when you get home is to find out your laptop was a fire hazard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
