Overheating shutdowns in high-rise apartments
Why it happens here
Uptown and Post Oak towers have small rooms, recirculated air and little ventilation. A console in that environment pulls in dust faster and runs hotter than one in a house with open space. Houston summers push it over the edge.
Our approach
We clean the heatsink, replace the thermal paste and test the fan curve under load. For tower residents we recommend a yearly service, which keeps the console quiet and out of the repair queue.
