What lubricants can be safely added to a laptop fan or cpu fan

Procedures:
1. The center of your fan has a sticker. Remove the sticker. When removing the sticker, be sure to be extra careful. You want to place the sticker back on the fan later, so it needs to remain intact.

2. Underneath the sticker is a little rubber 'plug'. Under the plug is a little metal cylinder (most of which you can't see). This metal cylinder is made of a porous metal.

3. Drop one and only one drop of oil on the visible part of the cylinder.

4. Put the plug back in place.

5. Put the sticker back in place.

6. After you turn the computer back on and the fan whirls into life, it might take a little bit of time for the oil to distribute.


Desktop fans are replaced easily enough (they're all pretty cheap), but if this is a laptop - which often have unique/hard-to-find components - a replacement might not be feasible. So sewing machine oil might be your best bet.

How to SOLVE High GPU power usage when IDLE

How to SOLVE High GPU power usage when IDLE 

All you have to do is download Nvidia inspector and do the following:

#1. Download NVIDIA Inspector and run it.
#2. Right click on the button that says "Show overclocking" and select "Multi Display Power Saver"
#3. Under the Target GPUs section check mark both GPUs.
#4. Check mark run multi display power saver at startup.
#5. Check mark activate full 3d by gpu usage and adjust the threshold to 20%.
#6. Close NVIDIA Inspector. 
#7. Reboot PC.
#8. Check to see if clocks are running at lower speeds. 

Also, you may get a framerate issues when gaming, because the software will limit the power consumption, to avoid this, go to Nvidia control panel and then to Manage 3D settings, then change the power management mode to maximum performance, this will not impact your Idle power consumption but your games will run fine!


Hope this fixes your issue!
