PC Cooling & Thermal Paste Repairs
Professional PC cooling diagnostics, thermal paste assessment, maintenance and repair assessment for desktop computers affected by overheating, high temperatures, fan problems, poor airflow, thermal throttling, cooler problems and other cooling-related faults.
PC Cooling & Thermal Paste Repair & Diagnostic Service
PC cooling depends on the correct combination of cooler contact, thermal interface material, heatsink or radiator performance, fan operation and case airflow. When one part of the cooling system is not working correctly, temperatures can rise, fans can become noisy, performance can fall and the computer may become unstable.
Our diagnostic process assesses the actual PC configuration and cooling arrangement before thermal paste replacement, cleaning, cooler replacement, fan replacement or other repair work is recommended.
CPU Cooling
Assessment of CPU coolers, heatsinks, fans, mounting, thermal contact and CPU temperature behaviour.
Thermal Paste
Assessment of thermal paste condition, application, cooler contact and whether thermal paste replacement is appropriate.
Airflow & Fans
Assessment of case fans, airflow, dust restriction, fan operation, fan noise and cooling performance.
Temperatures & Performance
Assessment of overheating, thermal throttling, shutdowns and thermal behaviour under normal and demanding workloads.

Our PC Cooling & Thermal Paste Repair Process
Identify
We establish the exact PC configuration, cooling arrangement, reported temperatures, symptoms and circumstances surrounding the fault.
Diagnose
We carry out appropriate diagnostic checks to identify the likely cause of the cooling or thermal problem.
Assess
We assess whether thermal paste replacement, cleaning, fan replacement, cooler replacement or another repair approach is appropriate.
Quote
Where additional parts or labour are required, the repair requirements and costs are explained before further work proceeds.
The exact cooling arrangement matters
Desktop PCs can use different combinations of air coolers, AIO liquid coolers, case fans and graphics-card cooling systems. Cooler compatibility, CPU socket, mounting hardware, heatsink clearance, radiator clearance, fan size, airflow and thermal interface material all need to be considered against the actual PC configuration.
