This easy to follow Asus laptop maintenance guide will help you to open up the computer and clean the cooling module witch included heatsink and CPU fan. This guide was created for an Asus v6000 series laptops but will work for some other Asus models too.

Due to the size constraints, notebook fans are usually small and come in small amounts, usually one or two depending on the size of the notebook. It may not sound like much, but the fan is a vital part of a notebook, and can make a difference whether or not the notebook will function well and at times, the lifespan of the notebook.

If you maintain your laptop often and clean the cooling module on a regular basis you will avoid all heat related issues:
1. Loud fan
2. Very hot laptop base and keyboard
3. Unpredictable laptop shut downs
4. Slow processing speed (because when CPU is hot it slows down)

Maintenance may seem like a hassle, but to improve notebook temperatures and a healthy lifespan, it’s well needed. Like a vehicle, regular changes are necessary, and this notebook is humming away happily.

Also, if you’ve been using your notebook for a few years, replacing thermal compound between the heatsink and processor will help to keep your laptop cooler too.
