Dusty computer question.

My computer has gathered up an insane amount of dust. And i think its effecting my game performance.

Now does dust in your computer effect computer performance? I'm pretty sure it does but I just want to know. I would clean it now but the thing was built by my local computer store so If I open it up then I would lose the warrenty on it.

Iftakeing off your case door you loseyour warranty your computer shop fails. Well anyway dust can kill your computer but if you want to get rid of it just get some compressed air and blow it out.

Good to give it a clean. Dust can cause fans to not pull and push air freely throughout the PC, thus making it hotter. Heat can cause unexpected weirdness happening with the PC.
Taking the case off to clean it and voiding warranty is utter crap. My technician at my work tells people that they'll void warranty which is so funny. I keep telling him not to say that. Warranty is only void if you open it, install RAM or another device the wrong way, and damage the original components.

Dust is not only impedes your performance, it makes your system hotter and can drastically reduce the life of your components. Dust kills computers.

i highly doubt it hurts performancerock_solid

I dont think it directly hurts performance, but it does lower you PC components life as well as heat up you PC if enough dust collects. Anyways back to the original post, maybe call them and ask to see what they want you to do. If they charge you for the compressed air. Fine but that is as high as i am willing to go, if they charge you for the service then forget it and say i will do it myself. I highly doubt they will say it voids the warrenty to open the computer case just to dust it. I think they mean don't add comonents or other hardware becasue you could damage it.

Yeah, I blew the dust out of mine and it runs wayyyy fasterRobboElRobbo
