I don't know what to do. It gets super hot and uncomfortable to type. I already can't use it on my lap because I would literally burn my thighs. It also gets super loud (fan) if I try to add a game to the mix and everything starts stuttering till I just shut it down.

    When you use canned air on your computer, do not let the fans spin. It can be tempting to use the canned air to make the fan blades spin really fast, it is fun and it makes a funny sound. However, spinning the fan blades can damage the bearings or worse spinning the motor can generate electricity that damages your computer.

      Seconding this. Always secure your fans. Have clean hands cuz if you leave greasy fingertips future dust is gonna stick to that oil.

      Oh and never smoke indoors with a computer. Gunks up the fans real good. I was a big dummy in my 20s and found out the hard way and burned my gpu out
