Clean up your computer!

Is there any stuttering or stuttering in games other than Siege?Please check it at once. If the same problem occurs in other games, there may be other reasons, such as a general system failure or a physical failure of the hardware itself.

In addition, regardless of the presence or absence of defects,Clean your computer regularlyWe recommend you. Getting rid of dust with an air duster can be a bit of a hassle, but it’s a good idea to remove the memory, SSD, CPU, and GPU all at once and clean them as a whole.

In the case of commercial computers, after researching the disassembly procedure at each manufacturer’s site, please do the work very carefully, such as wearing rubber gloves and a mask.
