Your desktop computer could be at risk to overheat.  These tips can help prevent your desktop computer from overheating:

  • Clean dust from your computer's vents.  Dust can collect in a short period time and affect the ventilation of your desktop computer.  Visit our Clean Dust From Your Desktop Computer post for more information.

 

  • Make sure you are placing your computer in an ideal setting for ventilation.  If you have your desktop on the floor, you may need to buy a stand to elevate it to a better position for ventilation.

 

  • Keep your desktop at least six inches away from a wall.

 

  • Curtains can affect ventilation.  Be sure to keep them away from the computer's fan.

 

  • Room temperature can play a part in a desktop computer overheating.  Maintain a comfortable room temperature (~72 degrees) to keep your computer's temperature in its ideal range.
