EliteBuildz PC Maintenance Guide

Congratulations on your new custom PC!

To keep your system running smoothly and performing at its best, follow these simple maintenance tips.

Monthly Maintenance

Dust Your System

Dust buildup can increase temperatures and reduce performance over time.

Recommended:

  • Use compressed air to remove dust from fans and filters

  • Clean front, top, and bottom dust filters

  • Keep vents unobstructed

Avoid:

  • Household vacuums

  • Excessive force on components

  • Spraying liquids inside the PC

Software Updates

Keep your system updated by regularly checking:

  • Windows Updates

  • Graphics Drivers (NVIDIA or AMD)

  • Motherboard Updates (when recommended)

Updating drivers can improve performance, stability, and compatibility with new games and applications.

Typical Temperature Ranges:

CPU

  • Idle: 30-50°C
