How Often Should You Clean Your PC? (And Why Every 6 Months Matters)

Your PC is like a car — it runs best when it’s maintained regularly. Whether you're a gamer, a content creator, or just use your system for everyday tasks, cleaning your PC every 6 months is essential for long-term performance, temperature control, and even hardware lifespan.

At REBOOT, we specialize in professional PC cleaning and maintenance that goes far beyond dusting — and we’ll explain why that matters.

Why Every 6 Months?

Over time, dust and grime build up inside your PC. This blocks airflow, clogs fans, and causes heat to get trapped — which leads to thermal throttling, higher power draw, and in some cases, hardware failure.

Every 6 months is the sweet spot for most users. It keeps your machine running cool, quiet, and efficient without waiting for problems to appear first.

What’s Included in a Full PC Cleaning?

Here’s what we do during a full REBOOT maintenance service:

🧹 Deep Dust Removal

• Interior case cleaning (fans, vents, motherboard, PSU, GPU)

• Airflow optimization for better cooling and less noise

🧼 Fan & Cooler Servicing

• Full cleaning of all case, CPU, and GPU fans

• Re-lubrication or replacement if needed

❄️ Thermal Paste Replacement

• Old thermal paste dries out and loses conductivity

• We remove old paste and apply high-quality thermal compound to the CPU (and GPU upon request)

🔌 Cable & Power Management

• Clean cable routing helps airflow and prevents tangles or connection issues

🧪 Diagnostics & Performance Check

• We run stress tests and temperature benchmarks before & after to ensure optimal performance

Signs You’re Overdue

• Fans are loud or constantly spinning

• Your PC feels hot or shuts down unexpectedly

• Games or software run slower than usual

• It’s been more than 6 months since your last cleaning (or never!)

Why Not DIY?

Compressed air alone won’t cut it — and one wrong move can damage delicate components. We use anti-static tools, pro-grade cleaners, and know exactly how to handle high-end gear safely.
