    In the real world, you will NEVER notice the performance difference between CL16 and 18.

    gal-m reacted to RollyShed in [SOLVED] PC cleaning and dusting, canned air alternatives? Can you use an air compressor to clean your PC?   
    So you make sure you have a hose with a metal end, usually on the flexible part, for the straight plastic hose to fit to (removed). Then you hold the metal end with one hand and the other hand on some earthed metalwork. No static can build up near the computer.
     
    If the hose doesn't have a metal end, fit / make one and earth it. Then the free hand can use a small brush to move the dust off the board.
     
    Blowing, if done, should be done outside (not mentioned) otherwise the air will be full of dust for the computer to gather up when restarted.

    The only time I can think of breaking a part with a compressor is blowing it on fans at full blast - making them rotate way faster than they normally do. It's safe to blow high pressure air towards a PC, I've been using compressors for a good time now. Never broke anything other than a very cheap blower itself, which fried its own self from the plug.

    I'm now thinking to pick up one of those Bosch units I mentioned which are built for long period working on outside conditions. Might go all out with the one that has the battery pack so cable-free and more convenient.

    gal-m got a reaction from HanZie82 in [Potentially SOLVED?] Armoury Crate + iCUE = RAM flickering & freezing.   
    Sorry for reviving such an old thread but I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that this is going to help someone!

    In short what worked for me was DISABLING the ASUS plugin in Corsair iCUE. Even though it was my understanding it needs to be enabled you actually need to DISABLE it completely.
    This really sucks as I came across this solution by chance, since I have not seen many helpfull forum posts discussing compatibility issues with different RGB software..
     
    PROCESS:
    disable ASUS plugin in Corsair iCUE software (untick the plugin toggle switch) the (ASUS) motherboard section in Corsair iCue should then disappear, so that you can no longer control your motherboard with iCue - that will be left to ASUS Armoury Crate restart your computer reset all of the settings in ASUS Armoury Crate & Corsair iCUE back to their defaults restart again now you should be able to reapply all of your effect in BOTH ASUS Armoury Crate (RAM lighting) AND Corsair iCUE restart again and check for flickering/incompatibility.

    gal-m reacted to Kisai in [SOLVED] PC cleaning and dusting, canned air alternatives? Can you use an air compressor to clean your PC?   
    Yeah that is usually enough to increase dust from air pollution and pollen.
     
    Most dust is actually the dust mites droppings from eating the dead skin and stuff. That said, a way you can reduce the environment dust is by using a (window-vented) air conditioner with a HEPA filter to control the humidity/temperature, and just turn the cooling off when you don't need it so the filter still pulls the dust out of the air.
     
    Unfortunately, unless you're willing to live in a carpet-free, fabric-free, smoke-free, pet-free room, dust usually won't go down, and it's your PC that's acting as the room air cleaner.

    I just use ordinary foot pump. Not the best, but it gets the job done. I usually blow all the dust out from the system, then use a vacuum to suck the dust that drop to the table or floor.

    gal-m reacted to KTown in [SOLVED] PC cleaning and dusting, canned air alternatives? Can you use an air compressor to clean your PC?   
    If you use an air compressor make sure to put a moisture trap in the air line. Every compressor will generate moisture as part of the air compression process. Also dial down the air pressure to like 30 PSI to reduce the possibility of damaging fans and small mobo parts. I use a Makita Mac100Q with the Capri nozzles which will give quite operation and about 30 seconds of air discharge at 30 PSI pressure before recharging. On larger jobs I use the Datavac ESD 2 speed vacuum unit (1.17 hp) - works great as a vacuum or blower.

    Most air compressors you can buy for home use are oil-free afaik. Oil-free ones are usually cheaper, lighter and require close to no maintenance. Oil air compressors need more maintenance but are also more durable and less noisy.

    Got a datavac, it's great. I got it for much cheaper on Ebay long time ago for like $60 though. The current price is atrocious for what it is.

    gal-m reacted to Kisai in [SOLVED] PC cleaning and dusting, canned air alternatives? Can you use an air compressor to clean your PC?   
    Canned air is usually just propane. It's generally not "air", and you are "supposed" to have something pulling the dust out of the air. In a commercial building, usually the central HVAC is good enough for this. If your residence or office only has baseboard heating (eg any wall-mounted heat without a fan) then you'll want something other than canned air anyway.
     
    Generally what you want is something environmentally-dependent. If you have a dry environment, a vacuum will generate static, if you have a dusty environment you need a way to capture the dust, not merely blow it into the environment. 
     
    I'd probably suggest the "datavac" style vacuum, and even if you want to use a regular vacuum, it needs to have a PLASTIC end. So don't use a canister vacuum without one. Upright-vacuums sometimes have a plastic hose attachment and that should be "good enough". Central vacuums are usually a poor choice.
     
    That said, the cans really should be used in short bursts for the tight spaces. If you're going through more than one can a year, you're doing something wrong and should probably find a way to remove the dust from the environment. Like even the office where I was using the cans on dozens of computers in a year, I only went through one can.

    gal-m reacted to Roswell in [SOLVED] PC cleaning and dusting, canned air alternatives? Can you use an air compressor to clean your PC?   
    Vacuums generate an obscene amount of static electricity. You’re going to eventually fry something. That’s the entire purpose of datavacs…

    I also use an air compressor. The same one I use for filling up my tires. Works great.
     
    Since my PC is sitting on my desk it doesn't get all that dusty. So I clean it maybe once a year by taking it out to the garage and just blowing through it.

    I use an air compressor.
     
    You can also put the hose on the output side of a "Shop Vac" style vacuum cleaner, or use an electric leaf blower.
     
    Just don't use the suction side of a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust out of your PC, those generate static electricity.

    Hey @Mel0nMan & @wONKEyeYEs, I've been hearing about this one across multiple forums.
     
    But yeah @Mel0nMan & @Stormseeker9, that's what I was thinking as well.. 
     
    And looks like @Caroline has got the same idea..
     


    The thing is, for a little bit more or maybe even the same amount I'd assume I could get a more "hefty, multi-purpose" duster/compressor, or am I mistaken?
    Also, from what I've read those DataVac dusters used to be waaay cheaper, but got incredibly hyped up, so I am really unsure if they are actually worth the price..? 😕

    Industrial air dusters are great. Like, not the little USB powered computer dusters you can get for like $5, I use this one from the company Datavac. Incredibly effective. Expensive though, but when you think about it it's the price of approx 15 air cans

    gal-m reacted to marcuzx in 104c memory temps on 3090   
    so my 3090 ftw3 is mining in my basement, extremely cold although the 3090 does a way better job at heating it than my heater +furnace combined rofl
     
    anyways the temperature of the 3090 is 45-65c which is fairly decent but the memory temps are 104-110
     
     everything is in the open, so basically there is no case, it’s just the motherboard, cpu, and gpu
     
     i’m not using any fans or anything because I didn’t have a case big enough nor did I have a vga cable big enough to fit both a 3090 and a 6600xt therefore I left them out in the open
     
     any suggestions on getting the memory temps to at least 90-95?

    Hi 
    @gal-m @--SID-- @Ralf
     
    I think I sorted out my problem with PSU shortage - 3080 black screens. 
    At the end - it was not the PSU problem. The Kernel power Critical error (41, 63)  was from sound driver.
     
    Win10 comes with audio driver - from 2019. If you go to device manager and press update sound driver from  web - it comes back with info - sound driver is up to date. 
    Do not believe it. 
     
    Visit your motherboard web page (mine is ASUS) and downloads latest sound driver. After that unrar it and via device manager take the path that your driver update is .... whatever you placed/unrar it. Update it. 
     
    No black screens after this step=action.
     
    Kind regards,
    Okutida
