I've had my gaming laptop for over 1.5 years now, and it still runs pretty well. However, I'm worried about its efficiency and whether I need to do any maintenance. I don't know how to open it up to clean the vents or if I should just get it inspected by the place where I bought it. Is it worth getting a professional to check for dust in the fans and vents, or is there other maintenance I should consider?

Absolutely, it's a good idea to check for dust buildup in the fans. I’ve had my laptop for about 3.5 years, and it ran hot until I cleaned it out. I also thought about applying liquid metal for cooling but decided against it. Running benchmarks like Timespy can help you compare your performance with similar setups.
Thanks! Is there any software I can use to check the overall health of the hardware before and after usage?
