Best way to clean pc?

[Muhammad Osama]

Hey guyz.

Sorry for my bad english.

 

I wanted to give a very good look to my components.. like i wanted to clean each and everything in my pc.. motherboard,gpu,ram and psu.. each and everything.. i researched a little bit on internet about it.. the problem is in my country ebay and other famous websites doesn't work.. it's a long story.. i found a normal wd-40 in my affordable range.. and and ecc which i have showed in the picture i attached it is also in my range.. the other wd-40 which i think is for cleaning electronic# is really expensive for some reason.. i wanted to knoe what should i buy? And i also wanted to know that cleaning psu and other things are safe? And how long should i not plug in my components after cleaning them up?

EDIT: also wanted to mention that peoples clean their mechanical keyboards ,nintendo switch and xbox with this ecc which gave them a good review

The only cleaning you should need to do it dust removal, which can be easily done with a can of compressed air.  A slightly dampened paper towel can be used to gently wipe dirt off surfaces such as fan blades if compressed air doesn't work.  Let air dry for 20 minutes or so.

 

Unless you physically spilled something on the computer the electrical contact cleaner you show is unnecessary.  If you do need to physically clean a component for some reason, then isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol, 70+ percent strength) and a few cotton swaps will be more than enough for spot cleaning.

 

WD-40 should be nowhere near your computer under any circumstances.

I bought the IT Dusters CompuCleaner Xpert because i think over time its worth it, buying those cans can get expensive over time.

Also a good alternative if you have a lot of computers to clean, or clean very frequently.

 

With filtered intakes I dust mine every 6 months or so.  I'm still on the same 3-pack of canned air I bought from Microcenter for around 10 bucks almost a year and a half ago.

I really like to use it and its stronger than the canned air i used to use before, but I use it pretty frequently)helping friends and such) so maybe its not worth it for you

You can do what you want, but my advice is a good dusting and light wipe down should be more than enough for selling a used computer. Rubbing alcohol for stubborn stuff if necessary.

I use compressed air at the shop and wait 24 hours to prevent short circuit because it may contain air in the air lines, the best tool is compressed air cans or electric air blowers. Contact cleaner is meant to clean dirty contacts on automotive and heavy duty equipment.

So what works well for humid areas? Near the coasts the dust gets positively sticky and does not usually come off with blowing.

I just spray 99.9% isopropyl alcohol and wipe everything...and 3200g my stock cooler amd logo are gone...other then that I avoided the stickers around them...and I aired it awhile before putting them back......

I use an air compressor.
