4. Tausiga

Minimal maintenance is required for your processor itself, but ensuring its operating environment is clean and cool will prolong its lifespan.

Ave'esea le Pefu

  • Regularly clean dust from your CPU cooler's heatsink and fan using compressed air.
  • Ensure your PC case filters are clean to prevent dust buildup inside the system.

Thermal Paste Reapplication

Over time, thermal paste can dry out and become less effective. If you notice consistently high temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste to the CPU's IHS. This typically involves removing the CPU cooler, cleaning off old paste, and applying new paste before reattaching the cooler.
