Keep your PC clean! Customers often underestimate the importance of blowing out the inside of their computers.

This is a extremely dirty PC that had not been blown out for 2 years, construction was also taking place inside near the computer!

Here is the same computer after being blown out using the compressor you see pictured below.

Using a small compressor, I simply removed the side cover of the PC (please unplug PC from any cords first) and blew out the insides of this PC (doing this outside in the open or in a spacious workshop is best) concentrating on the fans and the processors heat shield.Keep in mind if it has not been done lately you will get dusty!  A handy compressor blower attachment makes the job easy! Be mindful not to touch the tip of the blower to any parts of the PC.

Once you are done, put the side cover back on and connect up all your cables and power. Now your PC can breathe easier and also this will increase the life of your PC! Doing this once every 6 months is a good idea.
