Dust Clean-out / Fan Cleaning
After a while your computer’s CPU heatsink fan, video card fan, PSU fan and case fans can build up with a layer of dust. This build up of dust can reduce the airflow and rpm speed of the fans which can affect their ability to cool down your computer. As well as making an unwelcoming noise, the build up of dust on your computer’s internal fans can cause your CPU and other electronic components to overheat. If these components overheat your system could end up crashing, hanging or switching off. Even worse, you could cause permanent damage to your CPU or other components. Bring in your computer to our workshop and we can clear out your clogged up fans and remove all the dust from your machine so the internals of your computer system look as good as new, work as good as new and reduce the overall noise your computer fans make.
Re-apply CPU Thermal Paste / Gel
Over time the cooling compound on your CPU can dry up and become less effective in helping to keep your CPU as cool as possible. If need be, we can put a new layer of thermal cooling paste on your CPU to keep your CPU as cool as possible and to reduce the chances of your CPU from overheating.
