Every summer, crash and shutdown reports spike. The hardware did not fail — the heat exposed cooling that was already marginal.
A chip running 81°C in a 21°C room sits near 88°C in a 28°C July room — closer to throttling, with less margin under load.
On a clean machine the margin is plenty. On a dusty one with old thermal paste, summer is what finally pushes it past the line.
Removing dust and replacing dried paste drops load temps 15-25°C — the headroom summer heat eats into. Watch the trend, fix before the shutdown.
