What dust does to a fan
The more dust builds up, the faster the fan spins to compensate, without managing to cool. Here, in orders of magnitude, is what happens when a laptop is never opened.

Why it’s worth it
Why repair rather than replace
Dust insulates the heatsink fins and slows the fan down; the thermal paste dries out and conducts heat less well. A service every 12 to 18 months keeps the device quiet and fast, and extends its life.
Who it’s for
- Laptops more than a year old that blow hard
- Consoles sitting near the floor or a pet
- Gaming PCs used several hours a day

Frequently asked questions
Every 12 to 18 months for a laptop, more often with pets, smoke or a lot of gaming. Fan noise is a good indicator.
A thin layer between the chip and the heatsink that carries the heat away. As it dries, it conducts less well: temperatures rise.
No: it pushes the dust deeper into the fins, can damage the fan bearing and doesn’t replace dried paste.
On a dusty laptop, gaining 15 to 30 °C under load is common. We give you the temperatures before and after.
