It would if the vents were full of fluff - we are talking about two seperate issues here, that may or may not be related.
100% cpu = cpu hot = fan kicks in.
blocked vents = fan cant get cool air to cpu = cpu gets hot = fan ups it a gear
one real, one imaginary.
This only information given (so far), useful for diagnosis:
I tend to play browser based games
The browser based games are becoming a bit sluggish and I notice that Firefox and Chrome both contribute to the CPU running at 100% with the fan constantly going crazy.Don't you dare criticise what you cannot understand0 -
With respect you are a fool if you think that having dust and fluff block the fan vents won't make the processor run hot.
Think about it for a sec, why have vents if them being blocked is of no consequence.
And something isn't imaginary because you haven't witnessed it.
