Fan and overheating repair on the Alienware m15 R2
The Alienware m15 R2 is a high-performance gaming machine, so its fans and heatsink work hard and clog quickly. We clean the whole cooling path and replace the thermal paste, and the fan itself if it's worn.
Gaming laptops clog with dust quickly; a full cooling service brings temperatures and noise back down.
What we do
We strip the cooling system, clean the heatsink and fan, and replace the thermal paste on the processor and graphics chip. A worn or noisy fan is replaced.
Doing this early prevents the heat damage that leads to graphics chip and motherboard failures.
How long it takes. Usually done the same day.
Warranty
This Alienware m15 R2 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
