I don't understand when they say the airflow is from the front and out the back. I don't see any air inakes in the front. And from what I can see, the air gets sucked inn from the keyboard(the top).
I have read around and I have the feeling that there is a big problems when it comes to cleaning the fans. You need to disassemble the pc to get to them.
First of all this is a problem, since you need to have/aquire skills to disassemble it without destroying/damaging it.
It also takes a good amount of time doing this.
Second. You viod the warranty when doing this.
I live in a dusty environment and the pc sure gets clogged up quickly
Why is it not made easyer to clean the filters? And why are there not dustfilters, that can be easy cleaned?
It sure will make the pc much more durable and will stay cooler longer
Deluxius, if you actively keep your environment dust free by cleaning it, actively filter the dust from the air you breath, your laptop will will breath cleanly too.
🙂If your laptop is forced to run in a dusty environment you need to filter the air entering the laptop. Fortunately the newer laptops, like the G750 have a sealed design that only draws in air through the bottom vents - the keyboard on the G750 is a sealed unit that does not allow air in / out.
I haven't seen an internal view of the top side of the G751 yet, but I am assuming as Asus has been moving toward sealed cases - with input / output vents being the only air flow points, the keyboard is also sealed in the G751.
Putting fine mesh screens over the vents will stop most of the dust entering the laptop. Here is a company that makes custom sizes - if you tell them the laptop you have they might have already fashioned the right size, otherwise you can specify the dimensions. If you describe the dust environment you have they can select the right sized mesh to stop the dust
Laptop Dust Filters
http://www.demcifilter.com/c218/Laptop-Dust-Filters.aspxFor deskside/top computers I install filters on the air intakes, and only purchase cases that are well sealed and won't draw in air / dust from unintended / unfiltered holes. I always replace the port covers on any hole and cover the rest as needed if there are any leaks.
If the keyboard isn't sealed in the G751 then the environmental enclosure may be the only solution if you want complete eradication of dust coming in to the laptop.
If you are in an environment that is truly a danger to the laptop from particulates, there is full body protection to completely enclose the laptop in addition to the vent dust screen:
Laptop Enclosure DS170
http://www.dustshield.com/shop/enclosure/laptop-enclosure.aspxFor environments in my control, I don't have dust issues, and have looked in my fan vents after 3 months, 6 months, years, and the blades are clean. So I have never had to take apart my ROG / other laptops to clean out dust.
Asus has already optimized the air flow in the ROG laptops for us.
I don't recommend poking wires into the fan vents, using compressed air alone in short bursts will be safe.
So far no amount of restrained compressed air bursts has hurt any fans in my care, or the care of conscientious technical support technicians. You have a much higher chance to mess something up by poking wires into the vents than any short burst of compressed air could hope to accomplish.
After working in this industry for many years, seeing hundreds of laptops pulled apart for service, and asking technicians what the percentage of laptop dust and other abuses there are, 99.9% are totally without a dust issue.
That other .1% is shockingly disgusting and it is amazing that the humans living in that environment were able to breath - you wonder how their lungs look - yuck.
Unless you have a known problem with thick dust in your environment, and using some kind of room filter to remove the dust from the environment isn't possible (this works amazingly well), I wouldn't worry about dust in your G751.
If you have a cat hair problem, the mesh screen filters work really well. And, an environmental filter can be used to clean the air as well - it isn't healthy for us to breath in the hair, dander, and litter box feces / urea dust either.
If you are worried about all the dust collecting in your computers, remember you are breathing that same air too!
Actively keep your environment clean and dust free, filter the dust from the air you breath, and your laptop will will breath cleanly too.
