Reduce excess fan noise by cleaning out dust
Something that's not clear to me from the hint; is the vacuum used on the inside of the machine while it's powered down and unopened, or is the vacuum hose simply applied to the fan vents on the back of the machine while it's closed up?
Machine was plugged in.
The computer was cleaned while still plugged in, but powered off. I was working on an iMac flat panel 15 inch - the cute half sphere machine now discontinued. The vents are along the bottom rim and the exhaust is on the top. The iMac has a heat pipe extending from the CPU to the edge, according to photo's of the innards I've seen. I suspect that removal of dust from that spot was important in the improvement on my machine. |
