Chosen Solution
Hi everyone.. my super slim’s fan goes wild when I play some high resolution games ex: dragon age inquisition , red dead. while when playing lighter games it doesn’t ex: don’t starve , urban trail freestyle. The loading of the game textures slows down and the movement of the characters slows down also when turning it off it takes a while Then it makes three peeps. also when I turn it back on the noise of the fan still happens until I unplug the cable from the console then the console goes back to normal. I have cleaned the console multiple times and it has good airflow also changed the thermal paste. any solution will be very much appreciate. i don’t know is the problem is with the cpu or something else. I am very frustrated .. please help I know it is very old but I still want to use it.
When you leave it off for a while (6 hours - 1 day) and then turn it on, does the fan still make a lot of noise ? If yes, probably the sensor is not working correctly anymore or the heatsink is not making (good) contact with the CPU/GPU. You replaced the thermal paste for both, right? And make sure you don’t use too much thermal paste, this will seriously increase heat, as it will isolate instead conduct.
