    Uh...wow. It must suck having to take the whole computer apart just to clean the fan vent. :eek:

    EDIT: Is the CPU heatsink separate from the fan?

    Well that's a little better. Having to nearly dissassemble the whole computer just to take the fan out/access the GPU is not my idea of convenient.

    Yeah, for once the Studio 15 did something right! :p Just remove the access panel and unscrew the heatsink!
