Laptop Thermal Upgrade

Cooler temps, quieter fans & better performance.

Modern laptops are powerful—but they generate a ton of heat.

And that heat doesn’t just make your lap uncomfortable. It can cause:

  • Random shutdowns
  • Long-term damage to internal components
  • Slower performance when multitasking or gaming

Our Laptop Thermal Upgrade uses a high-end phase-change thermal material to lower internal temperatures by 15–25 °C. That means smoother operation, quieter fans, and longer lifespan for your device.

Laptop Thermal Upgrade

Extend the Life of Your Laptop & Improve Performance

Modern laptops are powerful, compact machines—but their tight internal layouts make heat a constant challenge. Our Thermal Upgrade replaces your laptop’s aging thermal paste with advanced PTM 7950 phase-change thermal material, giving your device the same cooling technology used by elite manufacturers like NVIDIA and Lenovo.

This high-performance upgrade can reduce internal temperatures by up to 25 °C, helping your laptop run cooler, quieter, and more reliably.

Why It Matters

Heat is one of the top causes of:

  • System slowdowns
  • Loud fan noise
  • Random shutdowns
  • Permanent hardware damage

Our Thermal Upgrade solves this with:

    ☑️ Significant temperature drops (up to 25 °C)
    ☑️ Improved performance during gaming, editing, and multitasking
    ☑️ Reduced fan noise and minimized thermal throttling
    ☑️ Longer system lifespan and better long-term reliability

If your laptop runs hot, this is the fix.

What We Use: PTM 7950 Phase-Change Thermal Material

This isn’t your everyday thermal paste.

PTM 7950 is a phase-change thermal interface material trusted by top-tier tech brands. It stays solid when cool, then softens as your laptop heats up—creating a perfect seal between your processor and heatsink. It’s cleaner, more consistent, and longer-lasting than traditional pastes.

What’s Included

  • Full disassembly of your laptop by expert technicians

  • Safe removal of all old thermal materials

  • Precision application of PTM 7950 phase-change material

  • Careful reassembly and thermal testing to confirm improved temps and performance

Add It to a Repair & Save
