Einleitung
When assessing whether to replace a laptop’s cooling fan, it is important to first assess the age and condition of the laptop. If the laptop is relatively new and in good condition, then it is probably not necessary to replace the cooling fan. Older laptops usually come equipped with high-quality fans that should last for a few years. However, if the laptop is a few years old and has been heavily used, then it may be beneficial to replace the fan. Over time, the fan can become clogged with dust and dirt, which reduces its efficiency and effectiveness. Replacing the fan can also be a good way to reduce the laptop’s noise level, as older fans tend to be louder than newer ones.
