Game Console Thermal Upgrade
Game consoles run hot—like, super hot. 🔥🔥
That heat isn’t just annoying—it causes:
-
Sudden shutdowns
-
Long-term damage to internal parts
-
Mid-game meltdowns (literally and emotionally)
Our Thermal Upgrade includes a Phase-Change Thermal Material that can lower internal temps by 15–25 °C—boosting cooling performance and helping your console run smoother, quieter, and longer.

How it Works
We’ll give you a call to schedule a time to drop off your device at our Sacramento or Redding location. You can also opt to mail your device in.
This upgrade is typically done in a few hours as we need to do a full teardown to install the material properly.
Once your device is back to normal, you’re not on your own. Ask about our Service Plan to get discounts for future repairs for this and other devices.

Reduced fan noise and cooler operation

Longer console lifespan
If your console runs hot, this is the fix.

Commonly Asked Thermal Upgrade Questions
Nerds on Call Game Console Thermal Phase Change FAQs
Unlike traditional paste, PTM 7950 is a phase-change thermal material. It stays solid until your console heats up, then softens to perfectly fill the gap between the chip and heatsink. It’s cleaner, more consistent, and doesn’t dry out over time like paste can.
Absolutely. Our technicians are trained to install the material precisely and safely. PTM 7950 is non-conductive and designed for long-term use in high-performance electronics—so your console is in good hands.
We offer Thermal Upgrades for most major systems, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam Deck, and other compact gaming consoles.
