Overheating and shutdowns in summer
Why it happens here
Willowbrook summers are hot and humid. Consoles in carpeted rooms or media cabinets cannot breathe. Dust mixes with humidity and clogs the heatsink. The console shuts down to protect itself, but repeated overheating damages the CPU and GPU over time.
Our approach
We disassemble, clean the heatsink with compressed air, replace the thermal paste, and test the fan curve. If the fan is worn, we replace it. We also give you tips on placement to prevent it from happening again.
