Has your Dell XPS started running louder or heating up more than before? Even in the slim, premium XPS chassis, the cooling system needs servicing over time. Repair typically takes 1–3 working days.
In brief: The Dell XPS is a premium laptop with a slim, metal chassis where disassembly is more difficult than in other models. We measure temperatures, carefully disassemble and clean the XPS cooling system, and always replace the thermal paste — in Dells we do this slightly more often because the paste in this brand dries out faster.
Our experience with Dell XPS
We’ve cleaned the cooling system in 4 Dell XPS laptops. This is Dell’s premium series — slim, metal chassis, often with high-resolution and touchscreens, which means there’s less space inside for airflow.
XPS — premium construction with more difficult disassembly
The XPS stands out with its slim, metal chassis, which makes disassembly more difficult here than in most other laptops — in some models, accessing the fan requires taking apart a larger portion of the construction. Thermal paste in Dells, including XPS models, dries out faster than in other brands, so despite the more difficult disassembly, regular cleaning is particularly worthwhile in this series.

Why Apenfix
Frequently asked questions
Why is disassembling an XPS more difficult?
The slim metal casing and densely packed components mean that accessing the fan requires greater precision than in other laptops.
How often should you clean the cooling system in a Dell XPS?
With typical use, we recommend an inspection every one to two years.
Is blowing with compressed air enough?
Not fully — it only removes some of the dust from the outside. A complete cleaning requires disassembly and thermal paste replacement.
How do you know it’s definitely the cooling system?
During the free inspection, we measure temperatures — this clearly shows the source of the problem.
How long does cooling system cleaning take in an XPS?
Usually 1–3 working days.
The exact cost of cooling system cleaning in a Dell XPS is determined individually after a free inspection. You’ll find the current price list under the button above.
