I work for an MSP that provides IT support, consulting, and network administration to around 1,000 medium to large businesses. Something you want to make sure you're not doing is Disk Defragmenting on the SSD, since that increases the write/read count wearing it out much faster.įinally, keeping extra programs from running, and uninstalling those you don't use will help. This will increase the longevity of the processor, but the tradeoff will be the noise. One thing you can do to keep your current performance, is inside of the BIOS on Asus laptops, you can generally set the fan speed curve, and I'd say keep the idle or low temps to about 60% or higher speed, but have a sharp curve to keep the fans high, even when it's not too hot. I'm glad to hear you've taken care of the system, it's good that you've had it cleaned and thermal paste reapplied! Undercoating may increase the lifespan of your laptop but to my knowledge the results will be negligible. Honestly the slowing down can be for many different reasons, but Windows defender does an excellent job these days protecting you from malicious software. Thank you for taking the time to respond. But, I’m afraid of screwing something up. I REALLY want to safely undervolt my cpu too. I’ve also heard 80-90C is practically cooking the cpu, albeit slowly and gently. Is it really normal/safe to have temps upwards of 90-100C on a laptop? I’ve heard laptop cpu chips are designed to operate at such temps regularly. Sometimes for no reason the temp jumps up to 80-90C and just sits there with the fans blasting on turbo. I have a cpu temp widget in my taskbar, and chrome keeps temps idling around 60-75C. Also, I always use my laptop on hard surfaces, no blankets or anything. I’ve had the fans cleaned & thermal paste replaced professionally. You know how any non-apple OS seems to grow more sluggish, and sort of just - become sloppy as time passes? I go to fair lengths to turn off start up programs, I keep an eye on the task manager, and still… temps run higher these days even while doing less demanding work on the laptop. So there’s very little risk of any destructive programs hiding, perhaps dormant, with all the other ‘saved data’ during a recovery? Pick, Assemble and Install: Video Guide.
