I want to clean my laptop's fan with a can of compressed air because it's loud and the computer often overheats.. if I do so, am I supposed to take the entire lower case of the laptop off to access the fan? I'm afraid that if I do that I'll break the computer somehow.. is there an easier way to clean it?

Unfortunately not, all laptops have a sequence for taking them apart, if you can find an online step by guide step it should be easy enough

Thanks, I tried dismantling it, but didn't really reach the fan, and when I put it back together I somehow ended up with three spare screws and a random metallic part..

I downloaded a program called SpeedFan, and when I play a game it shows the Core temperatures as almost 100 degrees celsius! That can't be right, can it? Wouldn't the computer be destroyed at that temperature?

Yeah, that's the point where I gave up, I couldn't remove the keyboard.. idk why.
but, it doesn't matter, I just won't play games on this laptop, they're a waste of time anyway..
