CPU fan
Hi, I have recently bought a Dell Inspiron 5521.
The problem with the fan is that it only pushes air out from the marked area in image.
Is it regular?
it also takes more time than other Laptops to cool down the PC after running a game. I think this is also because that fan problem.
If that is not regular in fan what is the solution to it?

Let me add that during playing a game the PC becomes warm and the area around the fan get hot. is it because of the air which doesn't come out from all holes?

Hi Seyar,
The system fans usually spin at a high speed when there is a temperature rise in the laptop. If the fans are not spinning normally or spinning high more frequently than normal, I would suggest you to update the latest BIOS for the system. Please follow the below mentioned steps:
Also, refer this link for troubleshooting the fans and air vents: http://dell.to/101noJK
Please check the functionality of the fan and post the results.

Fan is likely clogged and needs to have cat hair removed. This is a replaceable part.

Thanks for you replys.
@DELL_2D00_Nikhil-D:
I have already updated BIOS and there is no problem with spinning of the fan.
@SpeedStep:
It is a new PC I bought it recently. How it could be clogged?

SpeedStep I have done what you have mentioned above but everything looks fine. Heatsink is clean and the fan is normal. But I don't know why is this problem? also the temperature of my CPU in idle mode is 47-56. While running games it becomes 60-66. is it normal?
