Laptops are amazing devices \u2014 they\u2019re compact, portable, and can do just about anything. With so many tasks to complete, they tend to heat up. There are fans built into laptops for that very reason, so usually this is not a problem. However, if you\u2019re not taking care of your laptop properly, it can overheat. Overheating can easily damage your laptop and cause hardware failure; this is the main reason laptops stop functioning properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this issue can affect tablets and smartphones, too. If your device is overheated, use DFNDR\u2019s CPU Cooler to cool your device by eliminating background apps and lag time. Click here to stop your device from overheating now:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deeplink_cool_device_down\"<\/a><\/center>As a laptop owner, it is important to be mindful of how your device is working, and whether its temperature is at a safe level. Here are four ways to make sure your laptop doesn\u2019t overheat:<\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Use your laptop on flat, hard surfaces.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Despite its name, a laptop should not be regularly used on your lap, or any soft surface. When you place your laptop on a soft, uneven surface, air from the internal fans gets blocked, and your device isn\u2019t able to regulate its temperature properly. You should use your laptop on a surface that allows for air to exit. If you can\u2019t give up those Netflix binge sessions in bed, you can buy a laptop stand. Also note that while the floor is a flat and hard surface, it\u2019s not ideal for laptops because of the dust that\u2019s likely to be there.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make sure your laptop is not collecting dust. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If dust is collecting inside your laptop, it will build up and hinder the built-in fans or block the vents, making it more likely for the device to overheat. An easy fix to this problem is buying a can of compressed air, which you can spray into the laptop\u2019s vents. If your laptop can be opened, you can also clean it out more thoroughly. Make sure you follow your laptop\u2019s manual to properly open and clean it. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it yourself, take it to an electronics store.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Install an internal temperature monitoring program. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There<\/span> are an array of programs out there that will monitor your laptop\u2019s internal temperature for you, letting you know if the device is getting too hot.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Buy a cooling pad. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you\u2019re worried that your laptop has begun to heat up too much, or if you notice that the fan has been running more often than usual, consider buying a cooling pad. This not only provides a hard, flat surface, but also increases airflow and helps manage heat.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
