Have you ever cleaned your pc?

[pm128]

I have never cleaned cleaned mine, and I got it in 2018. What about you?

[mahyar]

clean it every day

[Guest]

They are cleaned regularly.

Custom loops drained, flushed, and cleaned every 6 months or so.

[lewdicrous]

I clean the the exterior every other week or so. The interior gets cleaned every other month or so.

I clean it every 2 months or so because of my cat. Becomes very easy if you invest in an air compressor.

I clean my pc often because in my area its a lot of dust and also it takes me only 5 mins because mine is air-cooled

[outright]

If you are custom water cooling clean it every two weeks. If you are on air with a good case and heatsink clean every three months. If on air with bad case but good heatsink clean every two months and if on stock heatsink and bad case clean every 1 month 

[Applefreak]

Dust cleaning every 3 weeks or sooner depending on buildup. Full disassembly every 12 months for my PCs and laptops. The one that has a liquid cooler inside get's a flush and new coolant every 3 months and hoses and o-rings get replaced every 12 months.

that's classified information

Currently maybe once a year. Means its dusty, but its also bit backward location with cables. I used to clean 2-4 times a year. For air cooled system and good overall cleanliness in room, there's no need to do monthly cleaning.

That seems like a bit much. You don't mean draining the loop, right?

[pm128]

Ok i lied. Everytime i plug in a haddrive or something i quickly dust it off with a kitchen gun cloth

[Lurick]

I clean it out every 3 to 6 months but I dust off the outside of the case pretty much every week.

I had a experience where after 6 weeks my tubes got clogged really bad so I clean it every two weeks but I used dye. if your on water you can go longer without draining

[pm128]

Watercooling sucks. I like to not care about my pc

That seems more like a loop contaminant problem. I have two dyed loops and haven’t experienced clogging  so bad that I need to do it every two weeks. That seems very not with it. 
 

Which coolant are you using? 

[outright]

Some cheap no name amazon coolant

[XR6]

Yes, I clean my computers every 1-6 months depending on how dusty they are.

So instead of drilling down to the root of the problem you just throw infinite money at it? Seems like an odd choice but okay.

About once a year. I'm lazy, okay?

I clean my rig's dust filters about every morning with a microfiber cloth as I usually have it on for a more than 12 hours a day due to school work. I clean the inside one a month or so using a brush, microfiber cloth, and a dry vac with the hose on the return to use to blow the dust out. Actually cleaned it last Friday and for the GPU, I used Q-tips to get in between the fan blades on the GPU...they were dusty. 

 

Wish I didn't have to clean it out so often but the side fan on my case does not have a dust filter.... 

[Moonzy]

i used to clean every 3 months

full disassembly and all, for like a year and half

 

then i got tired and do it once every~2 years, not that it's that dusty anyways

last time i cleaned, you can only see some dust on the fan fins, and i used a pet dryer to blow out the GPUs

temps only dropped ~2c

[WereCat]

I clean it when I am so bored that I'm even tired of doing nothing but still feel like cleaning... which is not that often
