M4400 hiccups when GPU temp hits 75-80

Thanks for the update.

Try to avoid using the computer on any soft surfaces - that's where a lot of the muck comes from.

However, if the heatsink was not well fitted to the CPU / GPU then they would heat up and cause the fan to run fast. And a fast fan makes a much better vacuum cleaner than a slow one.

I suggest that you also investigate undervolting the CPU. You should get a cooler and quieter notebook without any loss of performance.

Just actually posted a few questions about undervolting.
