High temperatures in a gaming PC unsettle a gamer. The cause behind it is also his own laziness: Because he probably never cleaned the PC.
A user was surprised about very high temperatures in his gaming PC. He then opened his gaming PC and posted a picture on Reddit. And here you can immediately see the problem causing the high temperatures:
Because the inside is heavily contaminated with pet hair and dust. The user probably never opened his PC, and that’s how it looks from the inside. Even a dead bug is stuck in his dust filter.
Such dirty PCs occur regularly, and you should urgently take the time to clean your PC regularly:
Take time for the maintenance of your hardware
A gaming PC does not clean itself: Almost all items in everyday life become dirty eventually. Whether mouse, keyboard, or gaming PC: At some point, you should take the time to clean your hardware. Because the PC does not clean itself, and every system needs maintenance at some point. Even the “greatest gamer” had to realize that you need to clean a PC.
Dust filters often prevent internal contamination, but dust filters need to be replaced or cleaned regularly by you. Especially if you have pets (dogs, cats) at home or smoke a lot.
Why should you clean your system regularly? Dirt and dust clog the pathways for air or your fans. This causes some components or parts to not dissipate heat properly, resulting in them overheating. In the worst case, you could damage your hardware if you don’t pay attention to cleanliness.
This example shows well that heat can no longer be dissipated properly. However, not only dirt but also incorrect positioning of your PC can cause excessively high temperatures.
