Typical performance improvement: Most gaming laptops see a 10–20°C temperature drop after a thermal service.
Throttling typically begins at 90°C+ — after a repaste, most systems stay within 70–80°C under sustained gaming load, restoring full CPU and GPU clock speeds.
Frequently asked questions
- How often should I get a thermal service?
- Every 1–2 years for daily gaming use, or sooner if you notice thermal throttling, unexpected shutdowns, or loud fans at idle.
- Does opening my laptop void the warranty?
- Opening does not void the warranty under UK consumer law (Consumer Rights Act 2015). However, manufacturer warranties may differ — if your laptop is still in manufacturer warranty, we recommend checking with them first.
- What thermal paste do you use?
- We use premium pastes including Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Arctic MX-6, selected depending on the thermal requirements of your specific CPU and GPU.
- Can you also upgrade my gaming laptop while it's open?
- Yes — we can combine a thermal service with an SSD or RAM upgrade in the same session at a reduced combined labour rate. Let us know at booking and we will quote accordingly.
