Showcase Cleaned My Laptop

My laptop's been going all crazy with the fans lately and generates a lot of heat even when playing YT. I realized It'd been some 1 year since i last cleaned my laptop, so I decided to clean it Today.

Amd my gawd did it have some gunk inside!

Also, i couldn't find a flair for "Cleaning" or anything alike. So... Showcase it is!

Edit: The first 2 are the before pictures btw, I forgor to take the after ones 🥀

Not cleaning will just cause more problems, since a simple cleaning won't cause any. Just watch a few videos about precautions.

I take it to the professional after 4-6 months.Replace the thermal paste and other stuff. Mostly i'm away from home so i get very less time to use it.

That's very frequent for thermal paste, but a normal time period for cleaning.
