Hi

Well i also get some serious temperature issues and i think the laptop needs to be cleaned from dust. I really searched a lot however didn't find any instructions how to open up the 5750. Actually i have an Aspire 5755G but i think they are the same.

@skycrawler: As I saw from your postings you opened up the laptop. Is it really necessary to remove the whole chase to be able to clean the fan and the cooler fins? Where did you find the instructions how to do it or did you just try it out yourself? Could you maybe then post some links or some instructions? It would really help a lot!

Thank you already

Greetins, marks

Yup , to reach the fan and vents u have to remove everything (except monitor) including motherboard . I just try it myself . For the guidelines I cant make it now coz Im quite busy this semester . Maybe during my semester break

It there suppose to get constant overheat for this i7 2630QM? =.=
i got my 5755G last year July
Always overheat =.= got to under clock it to prevent that sht from happening

Added on March 18, 2012, 4:51 pmbut i think nevermind already
since i dun wan to open up my laptop where it still covered by warranty (unless warranty is out)

So i bought a Evercool Fairy Ideal Cooler
I able to stay below 80 degree even with max load stress test / benchmarking
If i do not use it, i am 100% sure the temperature going to hit 100 degree (i get 100 degree even not on max load last time)

Put the new paste on CPU and GPU.

Yup , both on intel gpu and nvidia . I removed the thermal tape on intel gpu

Thermal tape, sometimes its needed, to fill the gap cause by height difference, so don't recklessly throw it away too soon..

ok boss..will try it later..
wan to make my lappy cooler~~
