The problem
Dust, blocked airflow and dried thermal material can raise temperatures and cause throttling.
Recommended approach
Clean the cooling path, verify fan operation and monitor temperatures before assuming a component is failing.
Step-by-step checklist
- Inspect vents and fans.
- Clean dust safely.
- Confirm fan operation.
- Monitor temperatures under a repeatable load.
- Replace thermal material or a failed fan when evidence supports it.
