Yes, but the damage is usually gradual and reversible if caught early. Bonnington laptops we see with overheating typically have: clogged dust-filled fans (the #1 cause), thermal paste that's dried into chalk after 3+ years, or heat pads that have hardened and stopped contacting the board. Done before damage sets in, a strip-and-clean reverses everything. Left for years, you can lose the GPU or the CPU outright.
Full strip, clean, and re-paste. For Bonnington laptops the process is: remove keyboard or bottom panel, take out the heatsink assembly, vacuum the fan blades and the heat exchanger fins (this is where the dust packs solid), clean off old thermal compound from CPU and GPU dies, apply fresh compound, replace any old heat pads. Reassemble and bench-test. Typical effect: 10–20°C cooler, near-silent under light load.
Yes — gaming PCs especially. Higher TDP parts plus high case airflow means more dust ingress and more thermal stress. For Bonnington gaming rig owners we recommend a clean and re-paste every 12–18 months. Our gaming-PC service includes: dust extraction throughout the case, fan and radiator cleaning, CPU/GPU thermal paste refresh, AIO/pump check, and cable airflow tidy. Result: noticeably quieter operation and better sustained boost clocks under load.
