The Anatomy of Your Gaming PC

Note: The depicted PC is illustrative. Your actual build may vary in appearance.

Note: Component specifics (e.g., Chassis model, CPU Cooler, SSD Storage type) in your build may differ from examples provided.

Unboxing Your Skytech Gaming Desktop PC

The first step involves carefully unpacking your new gaming system. It’s important to retain all packaging materials for the duration of your warranty to use for possible future warranty claims or shipping needs.

Contents to check for include:

PC Tower

Your PC’s hardware components are inside this tower case.

Power cord

To connect your system to the power supply. May be stored inside the PC chassis for shipping.

Mouse

Another crucial input device, especially for navigating in games.

Keyboard

A vital input device for interacting with your computer.

Additional Accessories

These could vary depending on the model you purchased. If your model version includes WiFi, you should find WiFi antennas. Tightly attach them to the two gold attachment points on the back of your PC.

Inspecting for visible damage is a necessary step to ensure your system arrives in perfect condition. If you notice any issues, Skytech Gaming’s customer support should be contacted immediately.

Preparing Your Workspace

PC Placement

Selecting the right location is important for maintaining the longevity of your system. A well-ventilated area can help prevent overheating, which can cause damage over time. Keep open liquid containers away from the area, as liquid spills can damage your PC.

[IMPORTANT] If your setup is on a carpeted floor, elevate your PC to ensure proper airflow and prevent any damage from static interference.

Cable Management

Organizing your cables and accessories not only maintains an aesthetically pleasing workspace but also prevents potential damage from tangled or strained cables. We recommend plugging your PC into a quality surge protector from a trusted brand that can guard your PC from electrical fluctuations.

Airflow

Ensuring proper airflow around the PC tower aids in cooling, which directly impacts the performance and lifespan of your system.

[IMPORTANT] We recommend cleaning inside of your PC once every three months, or once every month if you have furry pets who shed. See our guide to learn how!
