how often to clean your pc i do mine once a month

[Aleks]

I should probably do it more than I am but about once every couple months. My room also gets really dusty so...yea..It aint lookin so pretty.

[Markyod]

Whenever i start to see a dust collection.

[Chriz6097]

I actually haven't cleaned mine in since its creation (3 months). I periodically check my system because its in the Prodigy M and I expected it to be a dust magnet. The dust filter seems to be doing really well, none of it is getting in and all I need to do is wipe it off the top.

whenever i have time and see dust building up.

Cleaning, what is this that you speak of?

 

I need to clean mine since it's dusty where I live and I haven't done it in a few months but it's around 3 months I clean it all.

how do guys clean your pc do you use air compressor or air cans?

[LogicDeifying]

Make a poll.

I like to let it knit me a sweater first.

[Hirad123]

Every 6 months along with my water cooling maintenance. 

[xXxYOLOxSWAGxXx_420BlazeIt]

I clean dust filters every few days as I clean my room.

 

I clean the inside every couple of months.

I clean my dust filters every few months or so. My components have remarkably never gotten dusty. I have my old pair of GPU's that I pulled out that have been in my R4 for over a year and came out with barely any dust on them.

Haven't even cleaned the dust filters on my new case yet.. Maybe I should do that..

 

On my old case I didn't actually have any case fans so not too much dust went in. (It was hotter even with the side panel off than my new case.)

I use compressed air (the air in a can). I have an Alienware X51 so trying to do anything in the case is hard. Luckily I will be building a new PC soon so cleaning it out will be a breeze (and I can actually tell when I need to clean it).

 

Edit: Whenever I see dust building up.

I clean out my case about every 4 months.

[knight_40k]

I clean it when I notice dust starting to build up.

[lani100]

Every month sometimes twice a month.

[Erebus305]

I recently bought air fllters from my local hardware store that I cut and fitted to cover where the bottom and front fan vents draw air in perfectly and covered all the rear vents and IO ports that I don't use to keep air and dust from getting sucked back in through the back. Keeps dust out the case Perfectly. I shouldn't have to clean for dust for at least 7-12 months. Maybe longer.

Had my PC for nearly two years... haven't yet can't see any need to I clean the dust filters once a week as i dust and clean my room but if I see a fine layer of dust on the psu or bottom of case I just blow at it, job done.

[Darth Hideous]

When I have an asthma attack. 

[Dudenstein]

Varies. Basically I do it when I have to open up my case for some reason. Otherwise I'm not going to bother going out of my way just to clean it lol

[YouRezz]

When ever im working on it.. thats like onece a month

[Tigerbomb8]

Usually every 3 months or when i have a reason to open it up.. For example i just got a r9 290 so i will be doing a complete tear down this weekend..

Every other month during the warmer seasons. Then towards the beginning of winter when a warm day pops up, and the end of winter when it's a warm day. If there happens to be a stretch of warm weather throughout winter, I may clean out my computer.

 

I wouldn't recommend every few months if you use compressed air though, since it'll cost you a pretty penny after a while. Data-Vac's are the only logical choice in that matter.

[mgsstar]

Maybe once in a couple months or when the radiator is clogged with dust.
