Wow I Fixed my FPS Lag....

Ssoulle · 08-06-2007, 04:44 AM

By clearing the dust away between the processor and the processor fan increasing the flow of cold air to the processor, weird but it seems to have had a huge overall effect on the performance my system. Anyone else who has FPS lag should try this ( if they know what they are doing ) .

>_> opend your computer look for Coolers and just get the dust out by blowing it -_-

I did this a while ago, i would suggest touching the outside screw first, if you have gathered acsses static electricity it could fry your hardrive, it dosnt happen alots since it reqwires alot of static, but it can happen (they need to get rubber casings for hardrives xD

more airflow > less heat > more efficient

You should clean out your fan like every month.

Ehh, you gotta take the outside case off and then detach the fan. I tried it with mine and almost broke it, haha.

As I said, do it if you know what your doing.

And "blowing" will not work, mine had so much dust i had to get a little cotton thing and spent 20 minutes pulling it out.

Tip: Don t leave dust inside the fan, it obstructs it easily, make sure the fan is fully spinning round before closing up the computer, no processor fan = bang.

Blowing on it won't work as effeciently as going to the store and buying an airsol can.

Open up your PC by removing the outer screw. Grap a dry cloth and remove the dirt in the fans and around it, its ezpz. I build computers as a hobby. Just make sure to touch a piece of metal on the outer part of the PC, the case, screw etc...

you can find a friend or like me a relative and borrow their big air compressorm those things blow dust out like crazy and saves from buying those stupid small dust cans
