**The Importance of Cleaning Your Computer's System**

As someone who lives in a dusty environment like the desert, cleaning your computer's system is crucial to maintaining its performance and longevity. One of the most important aspects of keeping your system clean is to remove dust from your intake filters, fan cages, and fan blades. Dust accumulation can lead to overheating, reduced airflow, and even damage to your components. It's essential to clean these areas regularly to ensure that your system runs smoothly and efficiently.

**Using Compressed Air Safely**

When it comes to cleaning out dust from tight spaces, compressed air is often used as a convenient option. However, using compressed air can be hazardous if not done properly. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or an air compressor with a nozzle can create static electricity and damage your components. Static electricity can also cause dust to fly around the room, making a mess and potentially damaging your system.

**Removing Fans from Coolers**

To truly clean out your system, it's necessary to remove fans from their coolers and blow air through them directly. This may seem like a daunting task, but it's essential for removing dust and debris that can accumulate on fan blades and cages. Some people may be tempted to use canned air or a brush to clean out the cooler, but these methods can create static electricity and damage your system.

**Using the Right Cleaning Tool**

When it comes to cleaning out dusty areas of your system, using the right tool is essential. A shop vacuum with a vacuum attachment is ideal for pulling in dust and debris as you blow it outside or into another area. This method is much safer than using compressed air or a brush, and it ensures that all the dust is removed without creating static electricity.

**Don't Hose Down Your System**

One common misconception about cleaning out dusty systems is to hose them down with water. However, this method is not recommended as it can damage your components and create electrical shorts. Water and electronics do not mix, and using a hose to clean out your system can lead to costly repairs or even render your system unusable.

**Benefits of Cleaning Your System**

Cleaning your system regularly can have numerous benefits for your computer's performance and longevity. By removing dust and debris from tight spaces, you ensure that your components are able to function at optimal levels. A cleaner system also reduces the risk of overheating, which can lead to damage or failure of your components. Additionally, a clean system can improve airflow and reduce static electricity, making it an essential part of maintaining your computer's overall health.

**Tips for Beginners**

For those who are new to cleaning their system, there are several tips that can make the process easier and safer. First, ensure that you have all the necessary tools, including a shop vacuum with a vacuum attachment or compressed air with a nozzle-free alternative. Next, take your time and methodically clean out each area of your system, starting from the front fan filter and working your way back. Finally, bench test your system before and after cleaning to ensure that it's running smoothly and efficiently.

**The Importance of Balancing Airflow**

Balancing airflow in your system is crucial for maintaining optimal cooling performance. By ensuring that you have a good balance of intake and exhaust airflow, you can reduce the risk of overheating and improve your system's overall efficiency. This involves positioning fans in a way that creates a smooth flow of air through your system, taking into account factors such as case size, component placement, and cable management.

**Conclusion**

Cleaning your computer's system is an essential part of maintaining its performance and longevity. By removing dust from intake filters, fan cages, and fan blades, using compressed air safely, removing fans from coolers, using the right cleaning tool, and balancing airflow, you can ensure that your system runs smoothly and efficiently. Remember to always follow proper safety precautions when cleaning out your system, and don't hesitate to seek advice if you're unsure about any aspect of the process.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI get it the struggles are real right now everyone wants to upgrade their computer but everything's can you know pretty expensive with inflation and just availabilities and that's okay today I'm going to give you guys five tips on how you can make your PC faster regardless of how old or how new it is and it won't even cost you a dime the new T30 high quality PC fan from fan Tex features a three-phase motor dual vapo maglev bearing 30 millimeter thickness for improved airflow and static pressure and a six year warranty making the T30 fan a single solution for all your cooling needs to see the full list of features click the sponsored Link in the description below okay so these are not in a specific order although there's a couple items that you would want to do before others so number one on this list right here it's gonna sound scary to some folks but trust me depending on when you built your system how old it is so we're talking about updating your Motherboard BIOS now depending on when you got your motherboard if you bought your motherboard at the very start of whatever generation that it exists in there's probably been quite a few updates since then now the reason why updating your Motherboard BIOS could be important for your computer speed is a couple of reasons one micro code uh on your CPU now the micro code gets updated to your CPU through your Motherboard BIOS so depending on when you got your CPU and when you got your motherboard let's say there's a big gap between when they were manufactured if you have an early revision bios or even a launch bios there's going to be probably quite a few differences in your motherboard microcode for your CPU depending on when your CPU came out so if you've got a later revision CPU that could have a little bit better motherboard or a memory stability memory compatibility or just general fixes that a lot of people don't even know take place amongst CPU Generations you know as they age updating your your Motherboard BIOS will give you some stability increases and potentially even better boosting clocks boosting algorithms can all take place at a Motherboard BIOS level now a lot of people are afraid of updating their their Motherboard BIOS because they go oh something goes wrong then I'm going to break my motherboard and that is an inherent risk that you potentially take any time you install your Motherboard BIOS or update it now depending on when you got your motherboard or which generation it belongs to it very well may have a bios flashback feature built in which is absolutely risk-free because of the fact that if something goes wrong you don't even need your CPU to be installed in your motherboard for it to work so you'd be able to take a USB drive plug it into the back of the USB flashback Port it'll be labeled with a white box around it normally start the BIOS flashback feature and you can update it if anything goes wrong now the reason why I would recommend updating your Motherboard BIOS is not just because of the micro code and general stability fixes that you'll generally find in the Motherboard BIOS update it's because of XMP and memory compatibility now depending on when you got your CPU and your motherboard combo and your RAM if you've not enabled XMP or the extreme memory profile for Intel CPUs or docp for an older am4 CPUs for AMD or AMD Expo for am5 so you start to get a little bit convoluted as you talk about it in the future your RAM is not running at its full potential the memory speed that is listed on your stick of ram which is the selling point for most people not just timings but most people don't understand timings to begin with but they'll just look at the frequency and say okay I've got myself I've got 3 800 megahertz Ram ddr4 if you were not to go in and enable XMP or docp depending Intel or AMD you're more than likely only getting either 2133 megahertz or 2400 megahertz now depending on your use case and what programs you're using and how much RAM speed is important to those programs or those games we do know Ram speed can give a very noticeable increase in gaming FPS depending on your your graph card if you are not running XMP or you have the fast Ram settings enabled you're not getting the benefit of the item of which you paid for and we all know that ram cost is directly related to Ram speed and not just capacity so if you've got 32 gigabytes of 3 800 or even 4 000 megahertz RAM and you've not gone into your bios and enabled any of that you're more than likely running at 2133 which means you are running at almost half the speed that you paid for so it's another reason why I recommend updating the BIOS on your motherboard first because it will give you the best likelihood of having compatible XMP profiles and speeds that work with your CPU you see XMP or extreme memory profile slash docp or AMD Expo is an overclock is an overclock of the base frequency that the ddr4 or ddr5 is designed to run at this also applies for DDR3 by the way if you're running an even older system I just I believe DDR3 was 1333 megahertz I believe was the base clock and ddr2 was 800 megahertz anyway moving forward it's not guaranteed to run it is an overclock so to have the best chances of your XMP profile of actually working and running is by updating your Motherboard BIOS now before you do either of those two I highly recommend you go into your bios by mashing the delete key when you're booting your system going to your profiles and saving whatever your current config is if you've gone in there and set your boot device and you've got uh your fan profile set up in your fan tuning software and let's say you've got a water block on there so you had to tell it to ignore the CPU RPM that way you don't get a CPU fan error warning every time you boot your system then what you do is just save a profile and if your system ever has to be rebooted or cleared CMOS you can load that profile and be exactly up and running exactly as you were in case your XMP doesn't work or your fan settings get changed or whatever you want to spend all that time going through and manually adjusting it so save your bios profile update your Motherboard BIOS Number One enable XMP docp or AMD Expo depending on the version that you're running would be number two now number three is once we're in the operating system download MSI afterburner or whatever piece of software it is that comes with your particular GPU depending on what you're most comfortable with and I'm not talking about overclocking here I've talked about them a million times in the past over the last almost 11 years now I've been doing this that moving some sliders and getting more FPS is a fun thing to play around with but then you start dealing with potential crashing and then people freak out when their graphics card turns black and then it restarts all I'm saying to go in there and do is turn up your fan profile to a noise that's comfortable to you because keeping your graphics card cooler means keeping the Boost clocks higher and maxing out the power limit as long as you have plenty you know RPM running on your fan you could raise the power limit get more FPS because it will allow the Boost clocks to technically go higher and longer because you're allowing more power to the GPU now maxing out your power limit is something built into the V bios of your graphics card and it's not going to hurt it it will not hurt it in any way whatsoever the manufacturer is determined based on that core that card its power delivery system and the cooler that is installed on it this is a safe limit so whether it be going from 100 to 102 105 110 115 or 120 130 depending on the graphics card you might be running some big giant for the win three card and running at 100 you don't realize you have 30 power limit available to you which means easily another couple hundred megahertz of frequency leading to several FPS increase in your games depending on on the resolution by doing nothing more than moving that slider and raising your fan curve you might see as much as 10 percent more FPS and that's free so you can't hurt your graphics card by moving those sliders you and not even talking about moving the frequency you can start playing around that later if you want power limit increase and increasing your fan speed and the curve is going to give you better performance and and better cooling for your graphics card which leads to more frequency more megahertz more FPS now another thing that a lot of people may not realize is actually stealing and robbing performance from your system it's just how cluttered your operating system is as time goes on if you go and look at your startup items you might see software you never even use anymore utilizing system resources especially at system startups what this is going to lead to is increased boot times increase Windows login times and once you're into the desktop you might see a little Spinning Wheel the thinking wheel going on for a while while all these background processor loading now if you're running on a spinning drive or an old hard drive this is a very important tip that you need to utilize because of the fact that spinning platter drives are extremely slow by today's standard the fastest spinning drives that I ever had back in the day on fully clean operating systems would only be able to read write at about a hundred to 150 megabytes per second at the fastest the slowest ssds that you can buy today which would be SATA ssds that still use a SATA cable are running about 550 megabytes per second and because their solid state means that you don't have to go seeking for it on a spinning platter you can go seeking for it in sectors of chips The nand Flash is way faster than anything spinning so if you've got a spinning hard drive that's got to go seeking for all this hardware and unpack it or not Hardware but software and unpack it in the OS turning off any startup items that are not necessary are going to extremely speed up your system and the same goes for ssds but it's just really apparent on spinning drives so if you're running Windows 10 you're gonna could you're going to hit Ctrl shift escape and you're going to go to the tab on the top that says startup and when you go to Startup you'll see all the items that are starting when Windows start and you'll see either enabled or disabled disable all the ones that are not important to you and if those are programs you don't use anymore go into your ad and remove programs and delete them from your system entirely so you can get them at least off the system it won't do a registry clean and we're not going to talk about that right now because it starts to get more complicated when it comes to those items still being in the registry for a beginner to be comfortable going in and not completely borking their system where it will never post again because of the fact that you or we'll go into windows again because of the fact that you removed important registry items stopping them from even being looked at in startup is the first step on cleaning up that system if you're running Windows 11 it's control shift Escape you're going to look at the left with the little icons you're going to find the one that looks like a little RPM gauge click on that and then disable items that you no longer need but you'll be surprised how much faster your system starts up and how much more ready it is when you don't have those items sitting there and running oh and a little bonus content just uninstall OneDrive nobody should be using OneDrive and if you are shame on you but if I digress you can write your hate comments to Nick js2sense.com disable OneDrive and delete it and every time your system updates itself Windows updates itself re-delete it again because it knows when it's not installed and they keep putting it back and one drive sitting there constantly scanning your drives to sync with something that doesn't exist is slowing down your system now the last one here is sort of a physical thing and this is something everyone should be doing with their systems periodically especially if you live in a dirty Dusty environment like I do in the desert clean your system I'm talking about your intake filters I'm talking about all the dust that gets accumulated on your fan cages and the fan blades themselves I'm talking about your radiators if you've got an AIO or an open water loop and especially your heat sink Tower fits if you've got an air cooled CPU and I'm not talking about just blowing some air through it like with canned air and calling it a day I'm saying remove the fans from the cooler itself blow air through the cooler now a lot of people here are going to feel inclined to take a shot back with a brush on there don't do that that creates a lot of static electricity when you have a vacuum cleaner going creating vacuum and then bristles rubbing over stuff you don't want to accidentally one knock something loose off your motherboard or two create static energy that can cause an issue if you're worried about dust blowing all over the place Take It Outside don't use an air compressor with a nozzle you would be surprised how much damage you can cause by using that much compressed air I've seen I've seen mechanics that follow me and go I just use my 150 psi air compressor to blow my system clean yep I'm gonna throw my brother-in-law under the bus about 10 years ago he did that and he was going on a fan blade going this is fun until one of those blades popped off and literally impaled the motherboard yes it happened and killed that that motherboard don't do that one it's bad for the bearings you spin them way faster than the fans are intended to do and although it makes cool sounds you're not doing yourself any favors so can dare at the very least using one of the the blower shopbacks like we use that are designed for electronics if you're worried about the Dust take your shop vac with the vacuum attachment and have it next to the stuff as you're blowing it so it can pull in as much of the dust as possible so it's not blowing all over your house and then take it outside or whatever and don't hose it off I know they're just memes going around I've seen people like hosing their computers down that's not real okay don't do that that's like those old memes of like in the winter time make sure to replace your tired air with water or whatever so for whatever the memes are okay those are jokes don't hose down your system but if your CPU cannot transfer the heat properly through the Tower or the cooler or the radiator or you can't get clean air into your system because it's all clogged up on the front fan filter like fill system is right now then what you're doing is you're increasing the internal temperatures and you're actually insulating the cooler because dust is not only electrically conductive which is bad for your system it's also an insulator meaning heat cannot get out of the cooler means your CPU is running hotter which means the cork locks are coming down which means a slower system now it might cost to 10 bucks or so to go buy candy if you don't have a compressor of some sort or you don't have a little shop back blower deal like we do that's just worth having on hand for all sorts of reasons so although that might cost you a few bucks to get the thing you need to blow out your system cleaning it itself that is completely free once you have that item and you need to maintain it if you live in a dirty environment like I do like I said you could notice dust accumulation weekly and it's just worth keeping that system clean for obvious reasons anyway guys what are your best tips for beginners down there in the comments trying to keep their systems running as fast and as Tip-Top shape as possible you don't have to go out and blow a ton of money upgrading your system especially if you find that maybe all five of these items apply to you you would notice if you were to Benchmark your system as it currently sits now do all five of these items and go and Benchmark it again I guarantee you will see an increase in performance and then once your system is fully cleaned you can optimize your airflow by making sure you have plenty of intake and
