Putting It All Together – A Sample Maintenance Routine

With these tools, you can perform a thorough check every three to six months. Follow these steps:

Power down and unplug the PC.
Wear the anti‑static wrist strap and open the case.
Use compressed air to clear dust from fans, vents, and heatsinks.
Inspect cables, then reorganize with Velcro ties.
Remove the CPU cooler, clean the old paste with isopropyl alcohol, and apply a thin layer of fresh Arctic MX‑4.
Reattach the cooler, close the case, and power on.
Transfer important files to the Samsung external SSD for backup.

Following a consistent schedule reduces the risk of overheating, component failure, and data loss.
