CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, power supply if known, or a photo of the configuration.
Noise + heat + FPS losses
Gaming PC running hot
Fans at full speed, CPU/GPU too hot, FPS dropping, a PC that shuts down or crashes in game: the cause must be isolated before changing parts. The diagnosis starts at CHF 60.
Useful information
4 details before talking about parts
With these 4 details, Jonas can confirm whether the right choice is a diagnosis, maintenance or a visit to the workshop.
Which game, what load, and after how many minutes the problem appears.
Noise, heat, crash, shutdown, FPS drop or unusual smell.
To know whether remote help is enough or whether the PC must be dropped off.
This information avoids ordering a CPU cooler, a case or fans for nothing. Jonas then confirms the right level and the price before any work starts.
Heat diagnosis
We look for the real cause
The right diagnosis avoids buying a CPU cooler, a case or a graphics card for nothing.
First triage
60 CHF
- Symptoms and configuration
- Quick temperature check
- Review of the likely causes
- Clear action plan
Diagnosis + maintenance
120 CHF
- CPU/GPU/SSD check
- Airflow and fans
- Dust and filters
- Fan curves
- Short stability test
Noise workshop
160 CHF
- Physical maintenance
- Thermal paste if useful
- Noise optimisation
- Performance check included
- Upgrade advice if needed
Signals to watch
When to act
1
Fans at full speed
The PC gets very noisy even without a heavy game.
2
Unstable FPS
Performance drops after a few minutes.
3
Crashes
The game closes, Windows crashes or the PC shuts down.
4
Heat
Hot case, GPU/CPU running high, SSD throttling.
A useful decision
Clean, tune or upgrade?
The right action depends on the measurements. Sometimes a clean is enough. Sometimes the airflow needs correcting, a fan changing, the thermal paste redoing or the case rethinking.
PC4GAMER can start with a heat diagnosis from CHF 60, then turn it into workshop maintenance if the problem is physical. You keep control of the budget and don't buy parts at random.
Straight answers
What you want to know before you act
Do I need to change parts straight away?
No. If the PC runs hot, makes noise or loses FPS, the problem can come from dust, airflow, fans, a tired AIO, a hot SSD or settings. The right first step remains the CHF 60 diagnosis.
When should I move up to CHF 120 or CHF 160?
When the issue seems physical, keeps coming back or mixes heat, noise and stability. The CHF 120 covers diagnosis plus maintenance. The CHF 160 is for when a fuller workshop job is needed.
What should I send before a real quote?
Current configuration, the game or moment of the issue, the exact symptom, then your town or availability. Without that, the risk is recommending parts or an upgrade with no proof.
