    My laptop's GPU temperature is higher than before. I would like to open my case to check for a broken fan? How do I open my Sager NP2096 case?

    Can I have the case open while my computer's running to see if the fan is broken or not?

    NO!
    what temps are you getting and what was you getting before?
    have you ever cleaned the fans and vents out before. this should be done roughly every 3 months as dust does get clogged up and causes higher temps. can of compressed air is needed.

    get the user manual HERE
    not sure if it shows what screws on the base to remove but its worth a look.

    thanks


    Thanks. That's very helpful. It solved my problem completely.
    I posted here cuz someone told me to, and the previous one hasn't been closed yet. And maybe instead of being nitpicky looking for trivial stuff, you could offer some helpful solutions? I'd close a thread if I could you know..
