Overheating shutdowns during Houston summers
Why it happens here
Northside homes often have consoles in attic rooms, garage setups, or cabinets with poor airflow. When outside temperatures hit 95 degrees, internal temps climb fast and dried thermal paste stops doing its job. The console shuts down to protect itself.
Our approach
We clean the heatsink, replace the thermal paste with a high-conductivity compound, and test under load for a full hour. If the fan is weak, we replace it at the same time so you are not back in three months with the same problem.
