Hi, when I opened my 2 year old laptop earlier, I was completely astonished, EVERYTHING full of dust, really everything, even in places where no dust should actually get…
How does that come about? Should I remove the dust regularly?
This is because the ventilation system draws the dust into the Ghäus with the air flow. Wherever the air flow becomes turbulent, the dust is deposited.
It does no harm to remove it (very carefully). But I've also seen a lot of dusty computers from the inside.
This is due to the air circulation - once active, but also passively. The air circulation must be there, because everything was assembled in a very compressed way, especially with a laptop, but the heat generated must still be dissipated.
This is normal, this comes through the ventilation that blows a lot of air through to cool your laptop. Over time, a lot gets stuck.
If you remove them, it may even be a little faster (because the processor can then be cooled better). Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it.
You can remove the dust regularly, but it is not a must. On my ps4, I only remove the dust when the fan gets noticeably louder. Respectively. I then clean the fan. This works very well with a compressed air spray.
Since the ventilation on most laptops is not particularly shielded, the dust that is drawn in may be distributed throughout the housing. But that is not a problem as long as the laptop is not louder or warmer than usual. If that is the case, just clean the fan. And the rest of the same with the opportunity.
