How often do you dust out/clean your PC?

[.:MARK:.]

I used to, but i configured my system in a way that not much dust gets in. The exterior i do everyday with baby wipes

[DeViLzzz]

3 times a year maybe 4

[Torg73]

once or twice a year seems optimal for me.

 

Having the case of the carpet is the big thing and keeps the temperature a bit cooler too.

[Lord Pantaloons]

whenever it needs it

[roberto++]

every 3 months on carpet, every 6 on wooden floor, once a year if on a table.

 

really depends on the location, and fan configuration. more air flow, more dust particles in that air.

 

edit: no have pets, so these values may vary

Inside, once or twice a year, but my mouse/kb and stuff every week or so due to part OCD I have, even though my desk is really messy

[Dudenstein]

Rarely. Only if and when I have to open her up for some reason

Oh that cleaning context.

Once every month I guess. It depends. I'm a bit of an anti-dust freak so I have air compressor cans and also a fine anti-static brush (intended to be used on modelling kits lol)

I would also like to clean out the dust filter from the bottom of the case, unfortunately its a fricken 800D and it sits underneath my table so I'm not moving that bitch often.

[DLM_012]

Hitting the fan filters once a week usually prevents me from having to do a regular internal cleaning since I have positive air pressure in my case.

[n0ah1897]

Whenever I am bored and have nothing else to do. I need a new can of air though. I'm all out.

[Joshua Ondangan]

once or twice a month. and I clean my house once every 3 months. but still dusty.

Over 16 months with zero cleaning in a carpet room , l'll take a pic soon and tag you with it.

[Probenja]

Once every 2/3 weeks, yes i am OCD but also because my pc is on the carpet and it has no dust filters so i have to clean it really often. (yes i hate dust).

[TheBreaker]

I clean it with a Leaf Blower every quarter. Its perfectly safe...

[Mo5]

Inside - whenever I get a new part (so every 2 years on average)

Outside (filters) - every couple of weeks

[Toggle]

I still have yet to. That's only because I check it at least once a week and it never seems to actually accumulate much dust. Only got it in September though so that may have something to do with it.

[flibberdipper]

When the heatsink is caked, and the fans are kinda covered (not like it runs warm anyway).

[Jack.EXE]

clean? clean? who has time for that stuff?

[JupiteL]

If I found it dusty.. Maybe once in 3 months.

[Paralectic]

Once in a few months I clean out the dust in my pc.

[Ethnod]

My place is quite dusty, I have a Multi-Fuel stove and it create a lot of dust... well more like very very fine ash so I clean every month or 2 but I planning on a new build by the end of the year which will be almost dust free (Very good filters, positive pressure inside and so on) and then my current one will be the server upstairs

[zeiferlance]

with a case like this, at least once every 2 weeks. 

lol!  :lol:

 

[Analog]

I clean mine form the outside every morning and from the inside every two weeks. I really hate when there is dust in my components!  

[-ism]

If I happen to be opening it for some reason, I will usually give it a quick wipe down. Usually I leave it. If I see dust in the rad I blow it out and close my case. Only cleaned it really twice or three times since I built it. C70 has great filters.

[SheriffHD]

Dust Spray once a month.

Thermal paste replacment every 3 months.

full reinstall and clean up every 6 months.

new build once every 18 months.
