Overheating and thermal shutdown in summer
Why it happens here
Oak Forest summers push game rooms past 90 degrees, and mid-century homes often have small rooms with poor airflow. Dust builds up in the heatsink, thermal paste dries out and the console hits its thermal limit within 20 minutes of play.
Our approach
We clean the full cooling path, replace the thermal paste with a high-grade compound and test under a sustained load. We also tell you where to place the console so it gets real airflow instead of baking in a closed cabinet.
