Asked By TechSavvyExplorer23 On

I just got a new PC and I'm eager to learn more about it! Could anyone share some advice on the best platforms to buy games? Also, when should I clean my PC and replace the thermal paste? I've got a 5070 Ti and a 7800X3D, so any tips specific to this setup would be great!

Games can be found on various platforms like Steam, Epic, and GoG. For cleaning, just keep an eye on how dusty it gets; a good rule of thumb is to clean as needed. For thermal paste, it could last 10 years depending on your usage, but maybe sooner if you notice high temps. Just monitor those readings with some software!

I clean my PC regularly with compressed air since mine is on the floor and tends to collect dust. If you're using good dust filters, your cleaning might be less frequent. For thermal paste, I usually replace it when upgrading my CPU or cooler, which is about every 2 to 5 years. As for games, don’t forget about Windows store—it’s worth checking out!

For buying games, Steam is definitely the go-to platform. You might also check out Epic Games Store and GOG for some good deals and exclusive titles. As for cleaning, it's a good idea to dust out your PC with compressed air once or twice a year. For thermal paste, usually you should think about replacing it every 4 to 5 years unless you notice it overheating.
