Hello guys, I have a very old Compaq Presario 2500 from 2001, it is not my main system, I just have it for Word Office works and from the end of July, it suddenly became too slow, so much that it is unuseable, I felt that it is overheating and I said that it is throttling, but I have changed the thermal paste and the fans are also clean with no dust, anyway, went to Acronis Drive Monitor while laptop was as hot as you couldn't keep it in your hands for too long, and it said that my hdd was 53oC, and it is not normal, I have photo that it reports throttling in the hdd, now it is not throttling a lot, it is 41oC, when it gets hot, all of 3 fans (2 for Pentium 4 and one for Gpu) gets at full speed and it is getting slower, my question is how to make this laptop stop throttling in the summer

Work in a cooler environment. place a pen under the back of the laptop so it can take in more air, if it is a bottom feeder.

 

Get a notebook cooler (a small stand with fans) 

 

Else you can't do a thing, perhaps get a disk that likes it hot. 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.
