My CPU idles at around 60 degrees on startup, but then gradually hikes up to 70-80, even when doing nothing.
This is a laptop, by the way.
I can't feel much heat being ejected out of the vent - there used to be a lot.
Any ideas why?
Lots of dust in the vent?
At the bottom of the laptop, there's a few plates. Remove the largest one.
Make sure you don't lose any screws, and that you remove the battery.
When you've lifted off the plate, check for dust and such.
You can use the laptop while the plate is off, just don't touch the below of the laptop.
