The problem of laptops overheating has been around for years.
The cause behind this is rather simple. Laptop manufacturers have been trying a
lot to make their product handier and smaller. Consequently, in order to
accomplish their target, they must have started to make the parts, such as the
hard drive, motherboard and more, handier and smaller and. However, they also
have to set all these components and parts closer to each other. As we all know
that the microprocessor, hard drive, and motherboard all of these tend to
produce heat and the closer they are placed to each other, the more
concentrated the heat becomes. Although, we have the fans that are built into
our laptops to cool these components down, yet these fans also cannot work
efficiently in such tight quarters. Add to this the fact that it’s easier said
than done for the heat to escape, and you have overheating laptops. Whenever
your computer overheats, it is more likely to fail in doing the tasks it is
meant to. Here we have brought some tips for you that are going to help you
prevent your apple laptop from overheating.
- Avoid putting your
laptop on anything like a cushion especially when it is switched on. The
soft material of a cushion could get in the way of the airflow vents,
mainly the rear vents, which could be the cause for your laptop to
overheat.
- It is highly recommended
not to put anything over your keyboard when the laptop is operating in the
closed-lid mode. Doing so is expected to cause your computer to turn off
and on frequently. And this could generate great heat and could also drain
the laptop’s battery.
- Remember to shut down
your laptop overnight and do it daily to let it cool off. If you don’t use
it regularly during the day, then you can set it to go into standby mode
automatically when not in use. This is definitely going to save power and
also, condense heat output from the components of your laptop.
- Ensure that your laptop
is always switched off when it’s in your backpack. You should avoid
carrying the laptop in a bag when it’s on because doing so can block the
vents on the computer and cause it to overheat. Also, it reduces the life
of the components of your laptop or worse; can cause a fire. Thus, the
heat may also distress the battery life and can cause an explosion too.
- Always try to keep the
air vents clean. Dust accumulates on the vents of your laptop that can
obstruct them. This dust will stop your laptop from working efficiently. A
small electric cleaner can help you clean dust off the vents. Your laptops
can suck up lots of dust. However, it’s because everything in the computer
is packed together so tightly, it makes these specks of dust is even more
dangerous for your laptop. When the cooling fans are designed to run all
the time, it’s just a matter of time before the system starts overheating.
