RTX 5090 laptop rescue — botched thermal paste job (11 Jul 2026)
A customer took their RTX 5090 laptop to a shop in Birmingham to have high-end metallic thermal paste applied. It wasn't done properly — and afterwards the laptop no longer detected its RTX graphics at all. We repaired the damage and brought the GPU back to life.
Metallic paste is electrically conductive: one slip and it kills components. It's exactly why our standard thermal service uses non-conductive Arctic paste — all of the performance, none of the risk.

Failed AiO cooler on a serious build — Oct 2026
A diagnosis on overheating for a serious build still under warranty: ROG Strix board, TUF Gaming Radeon card and a case full of RGB fans. With all those fans, the problem was the all-in-one liquid cooler, which had failed.
We fitted a cheap provisional cooler while the customer handled the AiO warranty replacement with the company they bought the PC from.
Same-day GPU upgrade, support slider and re-paste — January 2026
A same-day job: a GPU upgrade, a GPU support slider fitted to take the weight of the card, and a thermal re-paste. The finished build: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on an MSI MPG Edge board with a Corsair AiO, in a be quiet! case.

Built and fully assembled in-house for a customer: Ryzen 7 9800X3D on AM5, 32GB DDR5, and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB — liquid-cooled, cable-managed and stress-tested before handover.
