4 Effective Tips for Caring for a Laptop to Keep Speeding

1. Clean the Fan / Fan

The first effective tip is to clean your laptop fan or fan, it is not uncommon for a laptop that you use for a long time to store a lot of dust in it.

To overcome this, you should be able to clean your laptop fan regularly.

But remember, don't blow your fan from the outside in, when your laptop is not disassembled. Because of what? yes because it's useless, the dust that you blow will still be inside the laptop.

You can clean your fans thoroughly by disassembling your laptop, but if you're not confident doing this yourself, you can ask someone who is an expert or who is used to doing this for help.

Also make sure you clean all the parts inside your laptop, Vicigers, it's not uncommon for your motherboard to be covered in dust, if you often use your laptop outdoors, especially while smoking!

2. Replace Thermal Paste/Pasta

The next tip for caring for a laptop is to replace the thermal paste.

After cleaning the laptop fan, do you feel responsible if you don't replace the thermal paste/paste?

Because this requires special skills, so if you don't have the courage to do it yourself, we suggest that you can go to a service center or to someone who understands and is used to doing this.

It's important for you, don't use fake thermal paste, besides not being good enough, fake thermal paste also can't transfer heat from the processor/GPU to the heatsink perfectly.

Instead of taking care of the laptop, later on, after just a week or 2 weeks of using your laptop, it's already hot again.

Replace your processor and GPU paste with the best thermal paste suitable for your laptop specifications.

Several brands of thermal paste that you can buy, such as DeepCool, Cooler Master, Thermal Grizzly, Arctic, Noctua, and many others.

The price you have to pay to buy thermal paste starts from 30 thousand to hundreds of thousands of rupiah.

Services for cleaning/maintaining laptops and changing thermal paste vary, starting from 50 thousand rupiahs to hundreds of thousands of rupiahs, depending on who provides the paste, and the difficulty level of disassembling your laptop.

3. Use a Vacuum Cooler

If you have a gaming laptop, or you have a laptop that even though the thermal paste has been replaced, the laptop still feels a bit hot.

Using a vacuum cooler is one solution. The brand most often used for vacuum coolers is taffware.

Taffware itself is a Palugada brand (do you want me to exist) from China, which really sells anything they can sell, it seems that Taffware is indeed creating an ecosystem of all their products, like Xiaomi.

The price of the vacuum cooler itself varies, from 50 thousand rupiahs to hundreds of thousands of rupiahs, depending on the brand and the suction power of the vacuum itself.

4. Use a Cooling Pad

Actually, if you are already using a vacuum cooler, you don't need to use a cooling pad as an addition, but some of you are definitely uncomfortable with a flat laptop position when working or playing games.

Working or playing games with a laptop is most comfortable when your keyboard position is slightly tilted up slightly from its default position.

So to outsmart this, you can use a cooling pad as a solution, besides being able to make the position of the laptop more comfortable, the cooling pad can also make your laptop have a more maintained temperature.

Two of our recommended cooling pad brands are DeepCool and CoolerMaster.

There are many cooling pad models that you can choose from from these two brands, and the prices also vary, starting from just 100 thousand to one million.
