CPU and GPU Cooling Fan Set
The G15 5520 relies on high-velocity airflow to clear heat from dense copper fins. Mechanical wear in the fan motor bearings or dust accumulation in the impeller blades reduces the actual RPM below the BIOS-commanded threshold, causing a rapid heat soak that triggers a protective thermal shutdown.

High-Performance Thermal Interface Material
The 'pump-out' effect occurs when the heatsink and silicon die expand and contract at different rates, physically pushing the thermal grease out of the contact zone. Replacing the factory material with a high-viscosity thermal compound restores the thermal bridge between the chip and the vapor chamber/heat pipes.

Thermal Heatsink Assembly
If the internal vacuum of the copper heat pipes is compromised due to a micro-fracture or manufacturing defect, the phase-change liquid cannot transport latent heat to the cooling fins. This results in a localized thermal 'dead zone' where the CPU reaches critical temperatures regardless of fan speed.
