- Just a short and sweet video on cleaning my laptop's fans. This could make a huge difference if your machine is overheating!
If you enjoy the content it would help the channel out if you left a like and a sub! Thank you for stopping by!
I don't know about the 2021 model but if it's anything like the 2020 model, there's a small gap at the back of the enclosure of the fan. If you aim your compressed air into that gap, you can blow out a lot more dust. There was so much built up in mine that it was impeding the fans from spinning.
Can I ask if you took any precautionary steps when doing this? I have rhe 2020 model as well and my fans have gotten quite dirty. I’m just worried about damaging my laptop during the backplate removal and cleaning process
@@l------l dont be lol just be careful to not strip the screws with excessive force, and obviously get the appropriate precision screwdriver and air compressor/ compressed air can, be careful and read the instructions on the can.
I myself have a Blade 15, if you have problems with the batery life, just put it into the Optimus graphic mode and go to the windows mobility scaner, there is a power saving option that gave me 3h more.
My buddy works on this stuff and he took it apart to repaste and add new pads. Between the fan and the heat sync, that little chamber had 3 times more dust than the fans themselves. Could not remember if it was easy to just remove the fans off as well or not. Thank you for the video.
Watched this to learn more about how to clean out the air intakes on my blade. Laptop's currently on its way to Razer to get it fixed for, you guessed it, battery bloat. Its hilarious you mentioned it here, and how its such a huge problem online and razer never fuckin mentions it. Great video!
Sorry to hear that! it is very unfortunate that happened to you. Hope your replacement has no issues!
Bro.. Please please please dont let the fan turn when you blow air on it. It will act like a generator and sent power to its port and damage it. Just hold it when you spray it.
I definitely learned quite a few things since making this video, next time I am taking the fans out and cleaning them with a q tip.
When the duster almost blew all the screws away, my anxiety skyrocketed.😂
I recommend unscrew fans and clean it with soft new tooth brush, it cleans it much better than air duster that you used, gently brus the fans and thats all, but make sure to buy very soft tooth brush
Yeah I have since learned that is definitely the safer way to go for your components 😅
How easy is it to remove the fans and reinstall? I’m a total novice to taking apart any computer/laptop but my razer 15’s fan blades are quite dirty and I’d like to clean them
Nice video! When you are blowing air at your fans, hold it a bit with your finger, so it doesn't over-rev. I broke one fan on my laptop like this. Also, you can buy electric air blower instead of air can, it's more expensive up front, but cheaper in long run, especially if you clean your laptop often, because air cans get empty pretty fast. Also cans contain greenhouse gases which are bad for environment.
Awesome advice! The air can also gets me a little worried because once it gets cold it sometimes shoots out a cold liquid and I don't want to have that on my laptop haha. I will have to look into an air compressor thats a great idea.
You think a hairdryer set on cold could be a substitute?
@@mitchellcruz8729 depends on the PSI of the hair dryer honestly. What compressed air gives you is a lot of force in a focused area
What if I use them to recreationally inhale
Gonna have to clean my laptop out one of these days, almost two years of using my Razer Blade 15 Base and I haven't cleaned the fans out properly (especially considering the heavy abuse my laptop has gone through using rendering programmes/occasional gaming for hours on weekends). Also, regarding the battery, if I remove mine (I believe it's bloating, the track pad isn't clicking like it's supposed to) will I still be able to use my laptop normally as long as I have my charger plugged in? I always use my laptop when the charger is plugged in, I never really use my laptop without my charger.
You should definitely open your laptop and clean your fans lol. You can use your laptop while plugged in with no battery and leaving a bloated battery in your laptop may be a safety hazard
@emmxttv you will notice that it literally is blowing up like little balloons when you open it lol. Severe cases alter the chassis
@@StevenMakesVids just got my laptop back from repair service for a bloated battery x.x Do you have any tips to prevent bloated battery? I have done some research, some said it's the heat, and some said it's overcharging, but they contradict each other out. What's your opinion on this?
@@kazuko8766 most likely heat, I suggest undervolting the cpu, it works wonders and there are a bazillion different videos.
Just make sure you watch one with the same cpu that your machine has.
Changing thermal pads and thermal paste every 3 years is also a good idea.
@@DAN_CLERGYMAN Almost all battery bloat is caused by leaving your laptop plugged into power overnight or when it's already at 100%. Same for your cell phones.
I don't think you need to unscrew it in a way that relieves tension evenly. Good video tho I'm about to replace my fans in my 15 from 2021 that failed and want to see the bits before I undertake this project so this is very useful
Probably not, it's just a habit of mine! Good luck on your fan swap!
@@StevenMakesVids good timing and thanks!. I just did the operation and she runs like new!
so you can replace the fans in them?? is it easy?
Just blowing the fans is not enough, for long term use u need to take the fans out and blow the remaining dust that stuck inside the exit of the fans which is only reachable by taking the fans out ;)
I have seen that through some of these comments. Just got the heebie jeebies from taking the fans out myself to be honest haha
I have the 2020 advance model , and its a pain in the azz to clean it
I just ordered the blade 15 2020 I’m super happy for it
It's an awesome machine!
Been using mine for almost year now. Still a brilliant laptop!
@@cadedotexe hey man just wondering how much battery life you’re getting with regular use etc browsing
I bought the advanced one today. So far I'm impressed.
Just got mine yesterday. So far so good.
just pop the fans out. its really easy and you can clean it better.
I have the same laptop, it is good, but it is really hot (I mean the device is the same as the keyboard and sides..) not the processor or the graphics card.. but I will try to clean the fans now I think they are not clean I did not find such a spray, is there any other spray that you recommend ? Thank you so much
Cleaning out your fans will help out a bunch but the laptop will definitely still be a little toasty. You can get "dust off" at Walmart or Amazon!
I have a 2060 gtx blade 15 mid 2020, my fans are pretty dirty and its intimidating to open her up. I have some high temps on cod and haven't done any mods to it, I have a cooling pad and try to have optimum air flow. But what do you guys suggest for lower temps? I get around 85 C and I have to play with the settings literally every update and sometimes reinstall. But its also cod and its cancer with these updates. I have to leave games and let it cool a lot, NVidia suggests all the settings to be on high but I'm confused with my unusual high temps, I've played on the lowest settings and I break 85 sometimes.
i highly suggest you open up your laptop and clean the fans frequently as that will drastically effect your temps. 80C is usually what you are going to get in this laptop playing games like warzone. Sadly it is just poorly optimized.
Probably a bit late now but when I was upgrading the M2 drives to a 1tb 970 evo boot + 2TB 970 evo plus game drive + 32gb hyper x impact ram. I pulled the hestsinks off to find the thermal paste semi dry (brand new laptop) replaced the thermal paste with Arctic silver 5 and dropped 2-4°C. I've also got a air purifier in my room which blows air up and no word of a lie I can drop 10-12°C by sitting the laptop on top, the case doesn't even get hot to touch
My laptop is terribly overheating just 2 months of light usage…. Returning
Would you suggest running down the battery before opening it up?
You should be fine even if it’s fully charged.
How long have you been using this machine ? Asked since i own a razer blade 2021 and waiting for my battery bloat for me its been 4 months & i see reddit forum filled with battery bloat warning , so it would be helpful if you can tell how long its been under ur use without the bloat
I have had this blade for almost a year now and everything is fine for me. Definitely something to keep an eye on though!
Got my blade in June 2021 and literally just the other day my battery bloated. Currently on its way to the repair center to get it fixed. From what I can tell, its inevitable. I would expect it after a year and a half - 2 years. Razers got a pretty good limited warranty on the batteries tho so i wouldnt stress. Hilarious how they still do not address the issue
I got mine in October 2019 and have not experienced any bloat.
Bro, im not very laptop adept…….. i have had so many issues with my 15 advanced edition from more recent frame drops to the side of it bending open and a giant lump under my trackpad……… i assumed my big ass just bent the frame leaning on it……….. meanwhile through this video i now know my battery is bloated, and i’ve been playing with it bloated for almost a year now 😂 good god time to do some maintenance. Thanks a lot!!
Take that battery out ASAP it is quite literally a ticking time bomb and fire hazard. Follow my instructions to remove the panel then unplug the battery and place it somewhere safe outside. In the meantime you can use your laptop plugged in. Hope everything goes well and stay safe!
Is the 2019 model a suck or blow fan vent? Asking due to wanting to use my cooling pad
It sucks lol
Will cleaning void the warranty
?
There’s a law against voiding warranties over maintenance and upgrades. Look into it I don’t know enough about it.
lol, you blow the dust down deeper into the fan. Bro you gotta disamble it.
I’m thinkin about doin this do this stickers go back on the screws after or are they pads of some sort?
That's blowing the dust into the device :/
How often do yo clean your razer blade?
Once every other month
@@StevenMakesVids bruh havent cleant it in half a year
hey people! i have a temp sensor display and my gpu runs around 79, i need to clean....curious what temp your razers run at? i feel like in cold weather this machine would
keeps your hands warm...
bruh mine runs at 84 I’m cleaning this thing when I get home
@@Droconiann 86 it turns from green to red sounds alil to hot to me...thanks for the feedback I stand mines like a triangle when playing warzone to keep it at 79
@@Droconiann yeah 84-86 and I got a bloated battery from this
@@cfterminator thanks for the warning!
@@Droconiann got it open right now. 5 month old an dusty af. The battery is not bloated it gets bloated because my fans are shut. I'm feeling so lucky for my battery not being bad and just need to clean it more often.
How do you deal with the oveeheating issue?
The biggest thing you can do for overheating is to use a laptop stand while gaming!
@@StevenMakesVids im not even gaming
@@AriVovp check razer synapse. What are your fans set to?
@@StevenMakesVids i can only set up the fan speed if the laptop is plugged in ( typically on the highest fan speed available) . Otherwise the fan does not turn on at all.
@@AriVovp renew your thermal paste
What screw drivers did u use? Can i get it from amazon? Thanks
He said it was a T5 screw driver, im pretty sure that you can get one cheap on Amazon
Not sure if i can add a link here, but ifixit mako driver kit is at 34.99 and go cheaper when there are sales. Bestbuy and microcenter is my go to.

T5 screwdriver?
Yes, I'm referring to the bit.
