High-Performance Thermal Interface Material
The factory thermal paste can undergo 'pump-out' or dry out over time, increasing the thermal resistance between the APU die and the heatsink. During high-load gaming, the silicon temperature exceeds safe operating limits, causing the System Management Controller to initiate an emergency hardware shutdown to prevent permanent damage. Re-pasting the SoC restores efficient heat transfer and prevents these thermal trips.

Internal Cooling Fan
Bearing wear or dust accumulation in the cooling fan can lead to a decrease in RPM or a complete stall. If the console's firmware detects that the fan speed is insufficient to dissipate the current Thermal Design Power (TDP) during a game, it will terminate power to the system. Replacing the fan ensures that the airflow remains within the required parameters for convective cooling.

Internal Power Supply Unit (1921)
The internal PSU must handle rapid fluctuations in current as the GPU and CPU ramp up during gameplay. Failing electrolytic capacitors within the PSU can lead to voltage instability or 'ripple' that exceeds the motherboard's tolerances under load. A replacement PSU ensures stable 12V delivery during peak power consumption phases.
