    Mod please change title to Dissemble of F6V to clean fan, or something like that. Im gonna do a guide on it.

    So this is my first time writing a guide, so please let me know if i did a good job at it or not! :D Also i hope this help some F6 owners out there!

    I recently got startled when i seen how dramatically my GPU temperature has raise since i got it when it was new and when it is now. When it was new the GPU temperature was 30's on idle and high 30's when on load. Few months later It went up to 40's and now its on 50's on idle and on load! So i decided i need to clean my fans ASAP!

    I do not take responsibility for you damaging your laptop by following my guide, so please if you are not sure what you are doing, please do not attempt this!

    What you will have to do is,
    1-Shut down laptop
    2-Unattached the battery
    3-Press the power button a few times
    4-Flip the laptop onto its back!
    5-Unscrew!
    6-Clean fan!

    Unscrew the screws that are highlight in RED CIRLCES

    Also unscrew the screws that are highlighted in the RED circle holding the fan in place.

    Now clean the fan with your choice of can aired, or microfiber cloth (I choose this because i did not have a can aired, which i recommend).

    Make sure to clean the inside of the fan bracket and the fan itself (highlighted in red).

    Please rate and comment! :D

    Thanks for the guide!

    I have renamed the thread to something more informative. I have added "F6Ve" to the title because the layout is exactly the same (I opened it up today, so I know :D).
