Common issues with Aftershock desktops
- Liquid cooling pump failure — Ultracore and Explorer models use custom liquid loops; pump failure causes rapid CPU overheating
- GPU overheating — sustained gaming loads push high-end GPUs hard; thermal paste and fan servicing helps
- PSU failure — power fluctuations in older builds can damage power supply units
- Dust in open-air chassis — the Explorer’s open design attracts dust faster than traditional towers
Common issues with Aftershock laptops
- Battery drain — gaming laptops consume battery quickly; swollen or fast-draining batteries are common after 2–3 years
- Overheating — fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement typically restores stable performance
- Screen faults — high-refresh-rate IPS and QHD panels can develop dead zones or backlight issues after physical stress
