Recently I observed that my Dell Inspiron laptop was running a bit slow. On observing the temperature using SpeedFan I found the following readings
1) CPU core temp 59 degrees centigrade at 100% CPU Load.
2) GPU temp 57 degrees centigrade at 50% CPU load.
3) HDD temp 47 degrees centigrade
Now from what I know the average temperature should remain in the range of 40-50 degrees centigrade. While the temperatures that I am seeing are all in excess of that. So here are my questions
1) My laptop is in excess of 7 years old. Is it time to change the thermal paste? Will I get some improvements and decrease in the temperature readings?
2) The Fan speed being reported in Speed Fan is a steady constant 922 RPM. Should I look at getting a new heat sink for the CPU and a new fan for the laptop?
3) Does it make sense to get a liquid cooler for a laptop? Basically I want to extend the life as much as possible of this laptop.
Any comments guys? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
