Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material
The CFI-1200 model relies on liquid metal for heat transfer; over time, vertical orientation causes the metal to pool, leaving 'dry spots' on the APU. This thermal mismatch prevents the heatsink from absorbing heat, causing the system to trigger an overheating shutdown. Replacing/redistributing the liquid metal restores the 100% contact area required for the high-wattage SoC.

Internal Cooling Fan
Bearing wear or dust accumulation in the 1200 series fan can reduce CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) airflow. If the fan cannot reach targeted RPMs, the heatsink saturated with heat from the liquid metal cannot be cooled effectively.
