I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-15L running on windows 8. Currently, I have yet to take it apart and clean the fan but I am going to try and do that tomorrow. My laptop gets really hot and I haven't cleaned it since I have had it which is nearly a year. Usually I have a cooling pad on it, but without it on my laptop reaches in excess of 60 degrees celsius core temperature and 40 degrees celsius for the HDD an sometimes with it on it still reaches 40 on the HDD and 50-55 on the core temperature.
My problem most likely is dust in the fans which is hindering performance, but can I upgrade the fan and heatsink? Maybe have a faster spinning fan in place? Also can I set my fan to spin at full speed 100% of the time, and if so how?
