Asus laptop CPU running hot and turnes off
Asus K52f
CPU is running extremely hot and laptop shuts down eventually. Fan is working fine. A times accelerates when im loading a large video. Heatsink connected to CPU very tightly. But very hot to touch. So it hearsink pipes that connected to the fan.
So is my CPU dying or a cooling controller chip?

I would just say it's doing what it normally does.
In my experience these laptops tend to overheat often.
Try cleaning out the fan fairly well with some CO2 spray (do not turn your computer on for at least 30 mins afterwards and let your machine be cool before you use the spray also)

I reapplied the thermal compound. So far so good for last hour. Lets see what happens. Before its shut down within an hour. Now its quiet so far.
Theres no antifreeze in those heatsink pipes right?

Are there any laptops liquid cooled? I doubt and i doubt this one is.

Thanks for the assist. Also you can buy those laptop tables that have vents and normally hook to your usb ports and have a fan built in. They are pretty good :-)
Thread is more than 2 years old, but maybe my experience could help somebody.
Happened to me yesterday - the heatpipe cracked. The K52F is cooled through a heatpipe, when it opens due to a crack or somesthing then the cooling liquid will escape and the heatpipe will stop working. The pipe is quiet long but overal there is not enough copper so the heatpipe cannot act as a passive cooler - before the heat will reach the fan, the CPU is already overheated.
Replace the heatpipe assembly, that's the only solution

Or on something soft (like your lap), that is (at least partially) blocking the Intake Vent?
Did you check if the vent itself is clogged with dust?
