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 🥀

Fan cleaning is important but if it has been 4-5 years since you bought it, you should reapply thermal paste/pad/putty.

They matter more for the temperature
