[RTX 3070 I7 11800h]

Hi, Im playing call of duty and check my insane temps 90c on gpu and 93c on cpu I exit the game cause I'm scared that im gonna damage it and anyway it was throttling to 0.8ghz on cpu and throttling to 800mhz on gpu too so I couldn't play. I look underneath my laptop so much dust in the vents, I want a free soloution cause im a cheap gamer. (even though I have a dell g5 5500 with a RTX 2070m) and I dont want to wait a week without cod lol. any soloutions.

 

Edit: My old soloution was using a bulldog clip take out one of the arms and slowling softly scrape the dirt out, than blow all the vents with my rocket blower lens cleaner. Yes I came up with that somehow

Not a laptop expert, but I can tell you from my very very limited experience it will be much easier if you just open up the laptop.

Using compressed air from the outside is just going to blow the dust into the computer. It might help, but it'll get clogged up again pretty quickly. You should just take the bottom panel off and clean it out - it's not terribly hard on most computers.

I have a rocket blower which is harder but does it do the job?

What do you mean? That's extremely easy to open for a laptop. Remove the screws, pop the bottom panel off and there you go. That's how they're designed to be opened.

I know. But I have never worked on  the inside of a computer before not even open one the closest I've done to something hardware is reinstalling drivers.

Cleaning out a laptop (especially one that's as easy to open as that - seriously, that one is easy) is nothing dangerous. You'd just be doing yourself a favor as opposed to blowing the dust into the computer.

Not if you've made a decision to be helpless.

Youre "decision" is gonna be whether you want to clean it or not. Doing anything outside will just blow more dust in lol
