Hey guys, I’m going to show you this nice gaming unit we are going to be working on today. It’s freezing up and things like that. One of the possibilities is that this fan needs to be cleaned up. So here I just want to show you guys the build up over the course of the time. It does have to be in a really dirty environment which is dust, it builds up. In a unit like this you can see how bad it is where you’re not getting good air flow; that’s going to heat up. Keep your computers clean!
Probably every six months I would take a look at it especially the CPU fan; the other fans are just going to be visible right off the bat, but this one is a critical one. That’s where most of the heat is being generated. That’s where you need to make good free air flow and it will have your computer running clean. Thanks for watching.
Alright, so you can see the difference we got this baby nice and clean. Basically it is going to be running much cooler which is going to help. Some of the other upgrades that we are going to be doing is that we are going to be changing this hard drive to an SSD drive. Customer wants better performance; he’s got an excellent CPU so nothing there. He’s got good RAM, but he does have a spinning drive so that’s one of the ways we are going to improve the performance.
Aside from that this hard drive is not in great shape, not bad shape; but 89% we found that we got some bad sectors. This is going to work out. It’s going to improve it’s performance and he’s going to get basically a brand new hard drive. We are going to keep this one as a backup drive, it’s a 3 Terabyte there is no sense in tossing that we are going to keep that there. Keep backups we are going to make some automatic images, this is a business so we are going to set him up with automatic images every night of his whole hard drive . So if he does have an issue with his SSD he’s going to have a full image of desktop but we’ll keep you posted will show you what’s going on over here at PC911.
