    My d620 runs extremely hot. I ran a cpu/ram stress test with Orthos for 10 minutes and my CPU reached 97 degrees each, while GPU reached 99 degrees..

    I suspect the root of this problem stems from a uncleaned fan. But I have trouble disassemble the machine.. According to dell, I need to remove harddrive, memory card, hinge cover, keyboard, palm est, display, speaker and blah blah.

    I don't think I will be able to do all that smoothly. So is there an alternative for me to clean my fans or vents?

    So I just blow the air into the vents? Doesn't that make the dust go further into the laptop? Or is that just how it is supposed to work?

    there is obviously dust clogged, blowing air in can help the stuck dust be blown out
