So, where should i start?

it all began in the late 2014 when i finally knew that my old desktop was completely dead due to diferrent black screens and stuff.

But as i needed a pc , i finally succeded in convincing my sister to buy a new one and give hers to me.

it isn't fast, only a pentium duo at 1,88 Ghz and 4 GB of ram but it is enough for what i have to do, internet and really old games that don't require any gpu horsepower at all :)

so, i got it and immediately noticed how easily hot it actually got...

i thought that it was due to the fact that pentiums in general overheat soo much ( i had a pentium4 that got so damn hot)

Now it had started getting so hot that even keeping it an inch from the table didn't help ( nearly 75 celsius un the two cores and the M gpu)... i finally resolved to desperately build a cooling pad extremely powerful ( the cardbord made it so strong ahhaha ), completely sealed and super effective with the fan of another laptop to make more pressure and push more air on the goddamn heat dissipator

here are the fotos:

but that was not the maximum of comfort as it sounded kinda like a jet plane ahha...

after shutting down another time due to overheating i finally resolved to open the pc clean everything and close it again, there i found a monstrous amount of pressurized dust...

Now after cleaning and replacing the shitty thermal paste i got a decent 40 degrees under load and 35 with my ghetto cooler, not bad huh

 the moral of the story is: always clean your notebook's innternals , at least do it as soon as the warranty is over ;)
