What’s Causing Your Laptop to Overheat?
In Singapore’s tropical climate (28–35°C year-round), laptop cooling systems wear out faster than in cooler countries. There are three hardware causes, and each has a specific fix. On older laptops it’s often more than one.
1. Dust-Clogged Heatsink
The most common cause. Dust packs into the heatsink fins over 12–18 months and blocks airflow. The fan keeps spinning, often loudly, but heat can’t escape. Fix: Laptop cleaning from $40
2. Dried Thermal Paste
The paste between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink dries out after 2–3 years in Singapore’s heat. Heat transfer breaks down, and temperatures climb 15–25°C above normal, even on a clean laptop. Fix: Thermal paste replacement from $40, or PTM7950 from $55 / liquid metal from $80 for longer-lasting results.
3. Failing Fan
A grinding, rattling or silent fan can’t move enough air, and the laptop overheats within minutes of heavy use. Fix: Fan replacement from $60, which includes a clean and fresh thermal paste.
Dust and dried paste together? Our cleaning + repaste combo is from $60. It’s the most common fix for laptops over 2 years old.
⚠️ If your laptop shuts itself down from heat: Do not keep restarting it. Repeated heat shutdowns can damage the processor and the board.

Laptop Overheating Repair – FAQ
How much does laptop overheating repair cost?
Cleaning or thermal paste replacement from $40 each, both together from $60, and fan replacement from $60 (including clean and repaste). Diagnosis is free.
How do I know if it’s the fan, dust or thermal paste?
Grinding or a silent fan points to the fan. A loud but smooth fan usually means dust. A clean laptop over 2–3 years old that still runs hot usually needs new paste. Our free diagnosis confirms which.
How long does the repair take?
Most overheating repairs take 30–90 minutes. MacBooks and gaming laptops can take up to 2 hours. Same-day service for most laptops.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during opening hours, or WhatsApp us your laptop model first for a quote.
Will the repair void my warranty?
Opening a laptop can void the manufacturer’s warranty if there are warranty seals. For out-of-warranty laptops this isn’t a concern, and all our work has a 90-day BreakFixNow warranty.
My laptop still overheats after cleaning. What’s next?
Dried thermal paste is almost always the next cause, especially on laptops over 3 years old. We diagnose before charging anything.
