Pro Tip: Avoid Overheating

• Rest your computer in between long gaming hours.
• When there is debris clot around the fan, your system will not be appropriately ventilated, leading to overheating. So, you should maintain a well-ventilated setup.
• Constant overheating will wear down not only your graphics card but also your system. If you play for long hours and experience the high temperature of your system, then install better cooling systems.

• When your system is heated to the maximum temperature, the fans will spin with the highest RPM. Yet, the system may not be able to handle the heat. In this case, your GPU will develop a load of heat and leads to Thermal Throttling. You must use a dedicated graphics card to fix this issue.
