What it is and core concept
Definition
Computer cleaning is the professional removal of internal dust, debris, and clogged filters from desktops and laptops, often combined with replacing dried-out thermal paste to restore efficient heat dissipation.
Why it matters
Dust acts as a blanket, trapping heat inside your computer. In Melbourne’s variable climate, this leads to thermal throttling, slower performance, and premature hardware failure if left unchecked.
How it works and step-by-step
Process
- Inspect: We check fan speeds, airflow paths, and temperatures.
- Clean: We use safe tools to remove dust from vents, fans, and heatsinks.
- Refresh: We apply high-quality thermal paste to the CPU/GPU if needed.
- Test: We stress-test the system to confirm lower temperatures.
Featured answer
Our cleaning process involves a safety check followed by deep cleaning of internal components using anti-static tools. We clear blocked vents, replace thermal compound on processors, and verify the improvement with thermal stress testing to ensure your system runs cool.
Common problems in Melbourne
Weather and infrastructure
- Summer heatwaves can push dusty PCs to critical temperatures.
- Fine dust from tram corridors and construction in the CBD clogs filters fast.
- High humidity in older homes can cause dust to cake onto components.
Troubleshooting and quick checks
Short answer
If your fans are roaring or the case feels hot, check the intake vents for dust. Use compressed air carefully on the outside, but don’t use a vacuum cleaner inside as it causes static. If heat persists, book a professional clean.
Quick checks
- Look for visible dust bunnies in intake/exhaust vents.
- Listen for fans spinning at maximum speed constantly.
- Monitor CPU temperatures using free software tools.
Safety notes and when to call a pro
Red flags
If you smell burning dust or electronics, or if your PC shuts down immediately after starting a game/task, it is overheating dangerously. Turn it off and call a professional to prevent permanent chip damage.
Local insights and examples
Melbourne examples
We clean gaming PCs in Southbank apartments that struggle with limited airflow and office workstations in Carlton accumulating years of dust. Regular cleaning is vital in our dusty city environment.
FAQs
Q1: How often should I clean my PC?
We recommend a deep clean every 12-18 months, or every 6 months if you have pets or live in a dusty area.
Q2: Does this help with noise?
Yes, removing dust allows fans to spin slower and quieter while moving more air.
Q3: Do you clean laptops?
Yes, we open laptops to clean internal heatsinks and fans, which is crucial for preventing keyboard overheating.
