The setup is complete now. Then the fan will run as needed instead of running all the time.

Method 2: Clean the laptop fan

If your system cooling policy has been changed to passive and you have not run large software and the laptop fan constantly running all the time, you may need to clean the laptop fan because the fan and heat sink are dusty and its heat dissipation performance is reduced.

At this point, you will need to remove the bottom cover of the laptop, remove the laptop fan and heat sink, use a brush to clean the dust on the fan and heatsink fins. You need to remove the old thermal grease from CPU, GPU and heatsink, then apply the new thermal grease to the CPU and GPU to improve thermal conductivity.
