so with defiance less then 24 hours away its time all you gamers out there do some much needed maintenance before the game goes live.
this is to the more casual / new commers with mid range machines (any high end gamer has a highly maintained rig).
so obv the basics
defrag (if on windows use a CHKDSK and restart your pc then defrag after)
clean up system registery
clean your hardware and fans (and i meen clean them with a little brush and an air duster u can buy these from pound shops all over the UK) and clean everything and get rid of all the dust.
new thermal paste for your CPU / GPU if you have not done so in the last 6 months (a heavy use machine its recomended every 6 months). if u are no sure about your GPU heatsink dont even try it.
clean your mouse optics
clean your mouse surface (table pad etc)
clean your keyboard (soemtimes a bit of food etc gets stuck in your keys and then it wont respond)
clean your moniter with a microfiber cloth and screen cleaner (smudgey screen = distorted image)
clean your speakers dust can reduce sound quality.
close your curtains / blinds but leave a window open for air flow (for ur pc)
hide your wife and hide your kids so they dont disturb you (if u have any if not hide your pet)
and get lots and lots of red bull (if like me u got all week of work paid holiday :D )
dotn go QQ on forums at 8:05 because the servers are not on.
expect some server issues at the start (look at GW2 3 day headstart lololol)
if your cross hairs is red kill it !111!1!!!!1
im not very good at guides so just throwing it out there. feel free to add more things to clean / maintain.
