Laptop fan problem.

[1carazy675]

Just recently whilst playing games on my laptop i found that the games goes much slower when the fan comes on. I dont think its because of overheating because when it comes on its only slightly warm. Do you think it would help buying a laptop cooling pad or is it just a problem with my laptop? Can it be fixed?

Do you use your laptop on a solid surface?

It needs to draw air in, and if you use it on your lap or a cushion or other soft surface you are blocking the air vents to the fan.

Do you clean your fan? You should do this every six months or so

I use it on a solid surface and my laptop will get to about 77 degrees and then my fan will come on and then after about 5 mins it will happen again im thinking i should jus tbuy a laptop cooling pad. Could someone link me to one?

I'm not convinced by those pads, but here you are:
