The following tips are general to notebook computers:
- Close out of applications that you are not using or do not need.
- Check Windows Task Manager for applications that continuously use processing power in the background and end task.
- Ensure your system is being operated on a hard, table-like surface with sufficient room for ventilation.
- Do not place the computer close to objects that can block the fan air outlet or inlet, such as a wall or a stack of books.
- Do not use a laptop keyboard cover, as the cover limits the airflow for the cooling fan.
- Clean the vents and inspect the fans as dust and debris can accumulate in and around the air vents over time, obstructing the airflow and causing the fans to work harder than normal to remove the heat.
- Monitor the temperature in the room. A lower room temperature increases the amount of CPU and GPU utilization at lower internal temperatures.
