System Maintenance
I just spent over an hour cleaning out my sisters pc. It wasn't bad but the hsf was totally clogged up, temps have dropped by over 10 degrees after a spring clean . Kind of embarassing to admit!

Hey HackFan,

Welcome!

Yup, regular cleaning is a must! I blew one motherboard that way... not cleaning it out regularly.

Hey HackFan,
welcome to PC101....yea.....you must clean your system out at least once a month. I use the "can" compress air system.....you can get this at any hardware or Wally's World store. Just take off your cover on your PC and spray about 8 inches aways from your system. Dust & electric do NOT mix !!! :eek:
