For several days I have been gathering information on how to lower temps on my Asus N56J laptop.
There are not that many options, except disassembling the whole thing, clean the fan and (most important) replace the white/silver grease joining hot parts and heatsink.
To start with I wonder if there's some way to put a proper heatsink there, as space is minimum. Having the heat sucked away doesn't look very effective to me. Apparently the air flow comes through the keyboard, and I wonder if that's really happening.
Average temp on my, when "cool", is around 50 C. Apparently it's 10 degrees higher than the default temp. Maybe that's related to where I live (Brasil), even if my average inside temp in summer is around 30 C.
If someone here does have this Asus model, please do comment.
The next problem is my desktop, which I hadn't really watched CPU temps of, and now I realize it climbs to 90-100 degrees when processing video. BTW: it also goes up when using Firefox/Cyberfox with several windows open.
This should be easier to solve, as I can use a better heatsink than the standard Intel I'm using now. I do not overclock or anything, so maybe I can get faster processing times with better cooling.
I do not like liquid cooling, so if possible I will stick to simpler coolers. I do not want to spend too much and I want silence.
Some suggestions should be welcome.
