When it comes to preventive maintenance on the computer, the first thing you think is in the software: antivirus ironing, cleaning records, defragment disks ... But if your operating system needs a cleaning from time to time, the same goes to the hardware of your PC.
Maybe you've never thought about it but try to imagine a box with small entries that get stuck for months (or even years) without anyone to clean. Have you ever thought the layer of dust that forms? Yeah. This happens with computers.
One of the most important issues for a PC is the temperature at which it is operating. You may have heard that it is not good to use a laptop with him in her arms on the bed, a blanket or some thicker tissue. It is that when you put in that position, slap the air vents and still favors the heating due to the type of surface on which it is.
A computer heated both during its use depends on it own fans continue only for a functional temperature. They are the coolers
If you turn off the cooler of your processor, for example, in just a few minutes it is already at 100 ° C and can burn.
A typical cooler processor operates in a band 2000-5000 revolutions per minute (less than 2 mil is very little, and to maintain a rate above 5 thousand, have to be very strong). You imagine the speed that? It is because of this speed that any excess weight on top of the blades can make a big difference in the cooler performance. And if the cooler is not working right, your computer either.
Furthermore, to keep the temperature low, the processor has a heat sink. It is a metal part with multiple plates leaving spaces between them to spread away from the hot air. If these outputs are clogged with dust, it will also be more of a problem.
When you perform the maintenance of your PC, the more important it is to clean the coolers and their sinks. Usually three: one in the processor, the graphics card and the source. If your case is more complete, you may have others, in addition to the air vents. Anyway, if you see a fan, clean it!
In addition to the coolers, of course, it is also worth spending a cloth or thick brush in the other parts. This is both for hygienic reasons (a cabinet accumulates VERY powder) as the performance - the dust that today is accumulated on top of your HD, tomorrow may be clogging the sink of your processor.
How often should you clean depends largely, of course, the place where you live and how much you really care about that. There are people who clean the whole office day, but this is quite exaggerated. Once a month is great, every three months is still acceptable, and the MINIMUM of six months. After that, you start to risk greatly increase the component temperatures and burn the coolers (more weight on the blades = more force to rotate = goodbye, cooler).
