    I got my MSI-1651 in September and it has been running fine since then, though I noticed recently the temperatures occasionally run a bit high when not playing games or doing extremely heavy workloads (60C-65C). I was wondering if anyone had cleaned out their fans and if so, how much this helped and what method they found the best for doing this. Thanks.

    Do you use stock paste? Better change it with AS5 (this is my favorite :)). Also you can use this guide to open it: Click

    @ Genna, your Part 2 didn't download for me today. Instead it displays a screenful of gibberish...

    @AlanP what browser you are usung? - Opera? Opera do this when you directly click on a link that points *.rar file. I found a sollution before, but I don't remenber how to disable this now. Just do it the old fashioned way - "Save Target As" :)

    Thanks for the guide, I will see what I can do, was able to undervolt to lower the temps, going to try and clean the fan and see how that helps. Anyone know if you can undervolt the gpu?
