Recently my laptop has been overheating.
Mainly because of insufficient airflow (planning to buy a cooling pad for this problem.)
And me forcing it to game on high settings.
Symptoms include automatic shutdown due to heat.
And the graphics card throttling down its performance due to heat.
And lately, I noticed that the fan doesnt seem to be running on start-up.
Sometimes I have to literally spin it manually before it can go by itself.
The GPU even reached 96*C before shutting down at one point when the fan wasn't spinning.
According to the disassembly manual, the fan assembly looks like this:
My questions are:
Are replacement CPU Fans for notebooks easily available?
(i.e. I don't need the specific model X fan for a certain laptop Y)
Are replacement fans interchangable?
(i.e. I want to install a fan with the same size but higher RPM)
And what permanent damage can overheating do to the laptop and the GPU?
Thanks in advanced.
