Mine are:

Think less about complicated software related settings and:

Just use a can of compressed aerosol. Clean dust from outside to inside=
.

Be done with it.

Laptop consistently stays below 86 degrees celsius, even while playing=20=

PlaneShift or Morrowind with OpenMW.

No replacement of cooling fluid or fan needed in my case.

It also cools down more in idle state. Had 56-58 degrees celsius before=
, now=20
about 48 to 50. Despite almost 30 degrees and lots of humidity in room.=


I take back any rants about build quality. The laptop is fine. Its was =
just=20
dusted. I didn=B4t see the dust, but apparently it was there.

Ciao,
