Fan and overheating repair on the Alienware 17 R5

The Alienware 17 R5 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.

This Alienware 17 R5 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
