Very hot laptop CPU (AMD K15)

[v1p3rbc]

Hello all,
so my laptop (Lenovo Z50-75) which has the CPU (AMD K15) has been hitting around 100 degress C, both HWMonitor and Speccy have given this result. I have taken the backboard out and cleaned out as much dust as I can, I bought a cooling stand and it hasnt done much to help. Everything else seems normal in terms of temperatures. Any help or insight on the topic will be appreciated, Thanks in advance

Hi,

I would suggest opening the laptop again then make sure there are no dust inside the fan and apply new thermal paste as well onto the CPU that would help a lot in cooling it down.

Here's a complete guide on how to completely disassemble the laptop.

Hi there, thanks for the response I dont think im confident enough to open this up and not screw it up however, any easier fixes or should I take this to a shop to get them to do it? Also is it risky to just leave it

The easiest thing you can do is to clean the heatsink by blowing air into it, but the dust has to come out through somewhere.

If you can take it to a repair shop that would be nice. Make sure you specify them to clean the heatsink internally (take the fan off and remove all the dust form inside) and change the thermal paste.
