    Yes, you should try cleaning it periodically. You may also try replacing the thermal grease (using ICDiamond helps a lot!)

    the problem isnt that the laptop gets hot. the temps are normal and the cooler runs at normal speed.. but its loud.. like when you touch the cooler with a peace of paper while it rotates

    @edit: without doing anything it seems to be fixed now :eek:
