It\u2019s also fairly robust, and so any gaming PC maintenance needn\u2019t consume too much time and energy. Having said that, it\u2019s still crucial that you take the time to look after your system with these gaming PC care tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Dusting the Interior<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-759 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/source-300x226.gif\" alt=\"Marge Simpson dusting\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/source-300x226.gif 300w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/source-400x300.gif 400w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/source-200x150.gif 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve frequently mentioned on these pages, the number-one enemy of your PC is<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">excess heat<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but fortunately, cases come with plenty of fans to ensure that air flows nicely over the motherboard. These fans all face in one direction: air enters in one end and exits at the other, distributing the excess heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One unfortunate side effect of this process is that the air being brought into your machine will inevitably bring tiny particles that settle on the motherboard and between the fins of your heatsinks. Dust doesn\u2019t just look unsightly: it also inhibits the performance of your radiators, as air will be unable to penetrate the gaps between the fins. This results in higher temperatures and a shorter lifespan, especially if you\u2019re<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overclocking<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Proper computer care means getting rid of this dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can I use to dust my PC?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The traditional cleaning option is a can of compressed air, although there are electric alternatives that may work out cheaper in the long run. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner on electronics \u2013 electrostatic discharge (ESD) can brick your computer in an instant. If you\u2019re handling electronics, use an anti-static strap.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Keep your Gaming PC in Mint Condition with the Cyberpower Cleaning Package<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/category\/gear-store\/\"><button class=\"btn btn-info\" type=\"button\">Check it out in our Gear Store<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step-By-Step Dusting<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s run through the process. Take your machine somewhere that you don\u2019t mind getting dusty. If it\u2019s sunny, then go outdoors. If it isn\u2019t, a garage or a utility room will do nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Before getting started, it\u2019s worth considering a few safety points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to unplug the machine entirely.<\/li>\n<li>Use a face mask if you don\u2019t want to inhale a cloud of dust.<\/li>\n<li>Compressed air can do severe damage to the human eye. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to wear goggles, but it does mean that small children and pets should be kept at bay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you need to disassemble a PC to clean it? The answer\u2019s probably no. You can easily remove video cards, storage drives and RAM, giving you access to sections of the motherboard you might otherwise have neglected.<br \/>\nKeep everything you remove somewhere safe. Removing other components, like the CPU heatsink, carries an inherent risk which cleaning might not justify \u2013 unless you\u2019re confident enough in what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<h3>Dusting the PSU<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your power supply unit will have sucked dust into the interior. <\/span><b>DO NOT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> disassemble your PSU for cleaning purposes; there are serious capacitors in there, instead, spray compressed air through the grille and consider it job done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dusting the Area<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the point in cleaning your PC case if you aren\u2019t going to clean the space around your PC? It\u2019ll just suck all of that dust straight back into the case! Take the opportunity to break out the vacuum cleaner and go around the back of the area. Do it right, and you won\u2019t have to worry about doing it again for a good long while.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Replacing the Thermal Compound<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-766 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-300x300.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-300x300.gif 300w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-150x150.gif 150w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-400x400.gif 400w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-200x200.gif 200w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-4-50x50.gif 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thermal compounds don\u2019t last forever! If you run a stress test and notice that your core temperatures under load have risen since the last time you checked (because you are organised enough to do this at regular intervals), it might be time to swap out the compound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When removing the heatsink, be careful not to use too much force. You don\u2019t want to apply any stress to the CPU itself. It\u2019s often a good idea to run<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mersenne.org\/download\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime95<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you get started. This will get the compound to way above room temperature, even after you\u2019ve taken five or 10 minutes to unplug everything and open up to the case. Pull back the lever and open up the heatsink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re going to be using 99% IPA to clean both the heatsink and the surface of the CPU. No, not that IPA, we\u2019re talking about Isopropyl Alcohol. There are alternative cleaning solutions, including the fancy ones that come with some upmarket heatsinks, but IPA 99% remains the gold standard. Apply the cleaner to a lint-free cloth and get rubbing. You don\u2019t need to apply too much pressure for the stuff to come away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having cleaned everything and ensured that it\u2019s completely dry, you can apply the new compound. Apply a small blob to the centre of the CPU, around the size of a grain of rice. The pressure of your heatsink will flatten this into a broad disk. Too much and you\u2019ll get worse performance, as the layer of the compound will be too thick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Keyboards<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-767 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-5-300x169.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-5-300x169.gif 300w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giphy-5-460x260.gif 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of all the peripherals you\u2019ll be using, the keyboard is the most vulnerable to dirt. You spent all of your gaming time not only breathing over the thing but bashing it with your less-than-clean fingers. If you haven\u2019t cleaned your keyboard in a while (or ever), you\u2019re likely to uncover sweat, grime, dust, hairs, coffee spillages, pistachio shells, and numerous other things! This might not affect the performance of the keyboard, but it is rather disgusting, so let\u2019s clean it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a few cotton swabs and some cleaning alcohol. Remove all of the keycaps and give them a soak in soapy water (or in a specialised cleaning solution). Remember where the keys all go. Some keys, like the spacebar and shift keys, will be attached at multiple points. Pry them off carefully. You might need to squeeze the top and bottom to release the clips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the keys are drying, you can get to work on the keybed. Blast the thing with compressed air again, and use rubbing alcohol and your cotton swabs to get between the keys. Then wipe the exterior with alcohol and cotton wool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PC Care Tips, Final thoughts\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re concerned about the long-term health of your PC, these steps are all worth taking. But you might also invest in a warranty that\u2019ll protect your machine, and get parts and labour covered wherever repairs are necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Protect Your Custom-Built PC with a Cyberpower Warranty Package<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/category\/custom-pc\/\"><button class=\"btn btn-info\" type=\"button\">Configure yours today<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping your system clean is essential to ensure it performs as efficiently as possible.
