I was just playing a game on my computer and I was looking at my LED fan with my graphics card and I saw a spider twice. Any advice on how to get rid of a spider without messing with the parts... I bought my pc in December so I don’t know much about it. Cleaning wise

Let the lil buddy make an ecosystem in your pc!

 

Just kidding ofcourse, vacuum works great. 

 

Just make sure to unplug the power cable. Low chance of shorting anything with a standard plastic muzzle. But still the best thing to do.

Don't. If it's stuck in there for long it'll die by itself.

Although if it got in it can also get back out, so I'm gonna vote vacuum.

ENCRYPTION IS NOT A CRIME

I don't know where you are so I will have to trust you can judge for yourself if this is safe or not.  Where I am, it would be without a second thought, but in some places it certainly isn't.  Just pick it up and put it outside, possibly using a tissue to help if necessary.  No elaborate procedure or killing necessary.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Or, if you aren't patient, just make the internal heat really hot by blocking all the fans, and maybe it'll die.

This is a great solution! No need to grab a pesky vacuum.

Some stress tests should do the trick

Yes, kill it with Fire:

(once it's out of the House of course)

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

it will probably just find its way out on its own. It's not really doing any harm I imagine. Unless you live in Australia.

Open the PC, take the spider (if you don't want to touch it use a tissue), put it somewhere outdoors, remove any webs the spider possibly has spun inside your PC et voilà, day saved 😀👍

 

P.S. I don't know where you live so I cannot say whether or not spiders in your region are dangerous. Where I live they are not but like already mentioned this would be an entirely different story in Australia. I assume that you know your local wild life.

There is no replacement for RGB except more RGB ?
