Keep Your Asus Laptop Cool with a Genuine Thermal Fan

Critical Cooling Component for CPU and GPU Protection

The Asus thermal fan is a vital part of your laptop's cooling system. It circulates air across the heatsink, dispersing heat generated by the CPU and GPU to maintain a safe internal temperature. If your fan runs loudly, stops spinning, or fails under load, it’s time for a replacement to avoid damage from overheating or system shutdowns.
Common signs include grinding noises, constant high-speed spinning, inconsistent airflow, or thermal warning messages. A faulty fan can cause system lag, shutdowns, or heat buildup near the vents, compromising your laptop’s performance and longevity.
