Introdução

If your Dell XPS 13 9370 is overheating or producing unusually high fan noise, you may want to replace the fans and cooling assembly to reduce noise and increase the lifespan of the CPU. If the device is overheating, you may want to temporarily remove the cooling assembly to access the CPU and replace thermal paste on the device. Thermal paste acts as a medium that transfers heat from the CPU to the cooling system. Over time, however, thermal paste degrades and loses its effectiveness and usually needs replacing every 3-7 years.
