Should I clean Acer Predator triton 300 SE fan blades by myself?

Katsuelle

Hey, I have a question!
I bought an Acer Predator Triton 300 SE at the beginning of last year, and today I noticed the right side of the notebook does not have the same fan potency as the left side (looking at the notebook).
I did everything in my power to avoid using it on top of a bed or surfaces that might have a lot of dust and hair and all that, but I cannot avoid it completely (I have a lot of pets at home and they have access to the rooms where I use the notebook to play).
Also, I noticed that the CPU is getting very hot (between 80~90 degrees Celsius) in normal usage (google/explorer with some videos playing, or when I'm doing some research and have a reasonable amount of open tabs).
I haven't been able to find any tutorial on YouTube in this specific predator model, and I want to do my best to avoid damaging any components due to the heat, so I want to know if there are any tutorials or if someone can help me through the process of opening up the notebook to clean it up. I do know I will need special gloves and thermal paste to avoid any damage and to replace the old thermal paste, but I have never opened up a notebook (I only opened in the past a desktop computer and simply to get it dust free, without the need to even remove screws), so I really need the help.
My only store option to take it for this is a place I don't like very much because when they mess something up they delete everything in the SSDs and reset Windows with a pirated version (and charge the value of a real Windows version), which I want to avoid. I also don't trust any store with such an expensive device and believe it is best for me to do it, so if something happens, it's my fault alone, and I can deal with that, compared to someone else damaging it and trying to cover the damage.
Thanks in advance!

You can always ship your laptop to Acer Services in your country, even if the warranty already expired, they would clean the fans and heatsinks and reapply thermal paste for a small service charge. You can do the cleaning of the blades yourself carefully with a soft brush (used for cosmetics), laptop fan blades are very delicate so don't use compressed air (can) or a vacuum cleaner, but a rubber bladder sold at computer shops to blow the dust out of corners is OK (never try to lubricate fan bearings) I always advise to disconnect the battery cable plug from the motherboard socket to avoid damage in case you touch wires. Ideally you should remove the fans for proper cleaning but depending on your GPU, fans may be fixed to the heatsink and you then have to disassemble the whole cooling system (not recommended).

A high end laptop like your Predator Triton 300 needs its fans to be cleaned every 12months irrespective of what environment you use your laptop in, as dust particles are in the air and accumulate on the fan blades, leaving fans uncleaned for longer than 12 months will destroy them as the accumulated of dust around the base of the fan and on the fan blades, puts them out of balance and wrecks their bearings especially on a gaming laptop where the fans can reach high speeds.

Open your laptops back cover by removing its screws and pry the cover open, its a very easy thing to do, wear an anti-static wrist band, as its a good precaution against shorting and damaging your laptops circuitry components with high static that can form especially in dry conditions, then get a fine brush and a cotton bud and clean the fan blades from all residue dust and felt, also relace the paste on the cpu and gpu and only replace the pads once every 24 months. That is about what a basic maintenance that a computer savvy user should do on their PC but especially a laptop.
