How Geeks Callout London Saved My Overheating Gaming PC

If you’re a gamer, you know how frustrating it is when your PC starts overheating, especially during the game. That was exactly my problem. My once-powerful rig started getting too hot, causing game lag, frame drops, and even random shutdowns. I had no idea what was going on, but I knew I had to get it fixed fast before i get my MSI graphics card damaged.

After some searching, I found Geeks Callout London, and let me tell you, they worked magic on my gaming rig.

 

The Problem: My Gaming PC Was Struggling to Keep Cool

 

My setup isn’t exactly low-end. I’m running an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, an MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 12G OC, and an Asus ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WIFI motherboard. But despite the high-end components, my CPU temperatures were hitting 90°C, and my GPU wasn’t far behind. My NZXT liquid cooler just wasn’t working to keep my gaming PC cool down. The overheating was causing my system to throttle performance, and in some cases, my PC even shut down mid-game. That’s when I decided to get professional help.

The Fix: Geeks Callout London’s Expert Cooling Upgrade & Deep Clean


I contacted Geeks Callout London, and their team wasted no time diagnosing the issue. They recommended a cooling system upgrade and a deep clean to remove dust buildup. Here’s what they did:

1. Upgraded to the Corsair H100X RGB Elite Liquid Cooler


The first step was swapping out my old NZXT cooler for the Corsair H100X RGB Elite a powerful, efficient, and visually stunning liquid cooling system. The difference was night and day:

CPU Temperatures Dropped – From 90°C down to 70°C even under heavy load.
Quieter Performance – No more annoying fan noise while gaming.
Aesthetic Upgrade – The RGB lighting added a sleek, premium touch.


2. Deep Cleaning of My PC Components

While they had my PC open, the team gave it a full deep clean, focusing on airflow optimisation. They carefully removed dust and applied thermal paste to keep the processor cool.

MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 12G OC – Cleaning the heatsink and fans improved GPU cooling, reducing temperatures by 30°C.
ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WIFI Motherboard – Clearing dust from crucial areas prevented overheating.
Case Fans & Filters – They cleaned and replaced fans for better airflow and cooling efficiency.


3. RAM Upgrade for Better Performance

Since I do a lot of gaming and multitasking, the team suggested upgrading my RAM to Crucial DDR4 64GB (CMK64GX4M2D3600C18). Now, my system runs smoother, faster, and more efficiently.

The Results: A Cooler, Faster, and More Reliable PC

After the upgrades and deep cleaning, my gaming rig felt brand new again. No more overheating, no more lag, smooth high-performance gaming. Here’s what changed:

CPU Temperatures: 50°C cooler under load.
