For ASUS A52J notebook, should I reapply themo paste after 3 years.

Only lately I feel my notebook is very hot! I open up the fan look not dusty.

However Speedfan recorded below temperature :
Core1 : 73c
Core0 : 73c

When I play game it shot up to 80c ....

It worry me alot..... Is these normal?

Same goes to my sister Toshiba NB305. It get even hotter!!!!
Should get the themo paste changed?

I just using a normal laptop cooling fan but that don't seem to help much.
Maybe planing to try buy U3.

Here today temperature.

Yipee, finally after see this guide :

You Tube in Russian


I learn how to pull out my a52J asus notebook internal fan.
(Good job ASUS, design it for easy maintenance without pull all the rest of the parts in order to clean the fan).

Wow so many dusk there!!! Clean it with a usb vacum for cleaning pc. Less than RM20 type or those that come with free gift when you buy your notebook.

Manage to bring the temperature down by 10C

Guess won't change the themol paste yet.

Perhaps will consider trying U3 cooling pad!
