All computers generate heat while they’re in use. Despite the precautionary measures manufacturer’s take, such as fans, vents, and heatsinks, these don’t always operate at their fullest capacity. As a result, you may notice that your laptop or PC shows signs of overheating and in need of an overheated computer repair service.ROWCOLUMN
What are the Signs of Overheating?
Even when not operating adequately, there are a couple of things your computer will do in an attempt to prevent the machine from overheating:
- The fans will run high and may become noisy, alerting you to the sound and the heat coming from the computer.
- The system will slow down if the heat gets too high. The ‘thermal throttle’ forces processors to run at slower speeds, generating less heat.
Of course, one of the most obvious signs of your machine overheating is that the unit itself will get very, very hot, sometimes too hot to touch if cooling mechanisms aren’t working. This overheating can cause severe damage to your unit. Monitoring your computer’s temperature while operating is a good idea. The temperature of your CPU should be 60°C at the most, but try to keep it around 35-45°C to be on the safe side.
Heat Damage
If your computer is regularly running hot, not only is this going to affect performance (slowing down considerably, shutting off unexpectedly) but it can also affect the hardware of your machine. Poorly-cooled computers can experience damage to the motherboard, melting components, and even smoking from the parts.
