@@adityachaudhary8456 your power limit is low or you did undervolting too much. Your laptop is not getting enough power. Can be the charging adapter too which cant provide enough power. You can fix temporarily by limiting CPU or GPU to 80% or something. If undervolted, reduce undervolt by 10mV and try try again. If power limit is controllable, reset it to 0 default. Other than that, the adapter can be the culprit.
Exactly, there are some *cough cough* HP whos laptops are a nightmare to open, you need to take apart the keyboard, rear case, and the case just to upgrade the RAM or clean the fan.
Charlie, how long should these fans get a thorough cleaning? I had my laptop PC for 3 years & only did a light dusting off when I installed an LTE WWAN card & replaced the HDD with SSD. I don't have heat/throttling detection software installed for monitoring this kind of activity, please tell me what are you using & where to download one? Cheers.
Hey Wilson, That depends on how much you use the laptop, if it's used daily for gaming purposes then clean it yearly, if general purpose use and occasional use then 2 years! This is the first time I've cleaned mine out after I bought it in early 2016 :D For in-game temperature monitoring I use MSI afterburner: www.msi.com/page/afterburner HW-Monitor for monitoring temperature www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Great video, thank you! I'm thinking I should do the same on my laptop. Sometimes the temperature goes as high as 90-100, but then at other times it stays down around 50 degrees. It is about 2 years old. Do you think I should clean it like you did?
Wondering how much you can drop temps and fan noise further by repasting the machine with quality paste such as mx-4. Maybe even the overclock the gpu a bit? That would be nice if you could keep the temps in check in the process!
@@TechGuyCharlie all the more reason to do! Extract every bit of it as you can. Also suggest putting small aluminum or copper heatsinks on the gpu ram modules to help dissipate heat when you overclock! Chances are you might be able to push the memory harder before getting to instability due to heat build up which is nice!
i have acer e5 573g and after watch you i decided to clean fan,it seems eazy ,if i can not comment to this comment,know that my pc dead :D i hope i can get rid of it
Thanks for this. I have an Acer Spin 5. Apart from not having an optical drive/drive slot, will the Spin 5 have the same main components and structure as your Aspire? I really need to clean the fan, I think, as the computer has been running hotter and hotter, and I can no longer hear the fan working.
I'm telling you that cooling system is inadequate for a laptop with an i5 and dedicated graphics, just a single heat pipe and thin heatsink. My old Core 2 Duo notebook without dedicated graphics has a bigger fan and heatsink than this..COSTCUTTING!
I know this is an old post but for anyone else thinking the same- let's start with the facts shall we? The cpu has a 15w TDP (temp boost to 25w for 25seconds) and the gpu core that is being actively cooled has a 25w TDP. The cooler is build to dissipate about 50w worth of heat. simple math will tell you this cooling system will have very few issues dissipating the heat of both the cpu and gpu at max tilt provided the thermal paste if of good quality. The cooling system of this laptop is hence declared perfectly adequate. 👍
@@kiyoponnn friend's dad is a QC engineer in Taiwan for Acer. Apparently all mainstream laptop manufacturers do this. Take the cpu and gpu TDP (+ 50% dynamic TDP) then add about 10-20% of thermal headroom to account for inefficiencies such as thermal paste and what not(thermal headroom % is then again dependent on the spec of components - lower tdp laptops will have a lower thermal headroom compared to a state of the art gaming laptop with about 150w worth of heat to dissipate) . It's not an exact number but based on the spec of this machine the cooling system is more or less capable of dealing with about 50w of waste heat at an ambient of about 25c (that is the decided base ambient temp taken to estimate these numbers) . Eg:- slightly more if the ambient is cooler and vice versa. Sorry if this doesn't help you :/
If the fan isn't running, you'll have to replace it, no other option, or else the laptop will overheat and might get damaged. Before replacing you should open it and see if there is anything stuck between the fan blades or if the wire is loose. A fix be as simple as that.
@@TechGuyCharlie I've followed your video last year buti couldn't clean my fan thoroughly. it was still making a grinding sound and vibrating really bad but this time it stopped working. I'll try to clean it again but it looks like i have to replace it
This is actually quite a common thing, the bearings go bad on these tiny fans. Just give it to Acer service centre and they will clean and replace the fan with a new one.
Thank you so much! my laptop overheats especially in summer and the fan makes some noisy sounds but after following your video the heat decreased and my laptop is working very well now. There's still a sound but it's very quite compared to the noisy sound I used to hear lol
after doing this to my acer r15 ( withiut deatching from motherboard , coz i dont have screw driver for that ) , it started to run for 1 or 2 second and then stops and continue this process ,its hard to make it constantly running , please give me solution ( i cleaned fan because it was making noise from few weeks _+)
What will happen if the liquid hit the system? Im sorry i dont have any knownlenge and the fan in my laptop will turn on when i open it and it is so loud and the screen is blue.

That's because whenever you connect to the Internet Windows and Internet connected apps start doing background tasks like updates and stuff, just clean your laptops heatsink and you'll be fine.
Did you do it by yourself? I'm considering to clean mine but its a 2014 laptop and the fan is connected with the motherboard. Means i have to unscrew the whole part to get only the fan cleaned, lol talk about anxious
@@malfuriouz7717 Did it by myself! The ony tricky part I had was attaching the back cover (see 10:40) but overall it's fine, just follow the instructions. Give it a shot! half of my fan was covered by huge dirt and found the reason my laptop was overheating lol
that was what i would like to know as well because i have one acer aspire v15 nitro laptop and i have opened it 2-3 times but by removing the upper part (keyboard) and never from below

6-9 months or u can do it every 3 months if u really want

Yeah of course, just don't let the fan spin, otherwise the bearings can get damaged.
