## 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.**
1. You spin fans beyond rated RPM (can break bearings).
2. You push solid dust bunnies deeper into the fan blades, jamming them.
### The Techfix "Thermal Overhaul"
We don't just "clean dust." We perform a competition-grade service:
1. **Full Heatsink Removal**: Exposing the GPU/CPU dies.
2. **Old Paste Removal**: Cleaning dried, crusty factory paste.
3. **High-Performance Repaste**: We use Honeywell PTM7950 or Kryonaut (top-tier industrial phase-change material). These don't dry out.
4. **Thermal Pad Replacement**: Ensuring VRAM feels cool too.
