Is your ROG or MSI laptop hitting 95C? It might be old thermal paste. Learn why deep cleaning and repasting is essential for gaming performance.
Gaming Laptop Overheating? It's Not Just Dust.
Every gamer knows the sound: fans spinning like jet engines while FPS drops. Why do expensive gaming laptops overheat after 1-2 years?
The Hidden Culprit: "Pump-Out" Effect
Gaming laptops experience extreme thermal cycles (Cold -> Hot -> Cold). This constant expansion and contraction pumps the factory liquid thermal paste out from the CPU die, leaving air gaps. Result: Your RM 8,000 laptop runs like a RM 2,000 one because it throttles to survive.
Why Blowing Air Is Dangerous
Many users use compressed air to blow vents. Don't do this blindly.
- You spin fans beyond rated RPM (can break bearings).
- You push solid dust bunnies deeper into the fan blades, jamming them.
