Graphic card clean

[Butwhytho]

This explains why my graphic card runs 90c. Any tips on cleaning without air compressor?

 I rather not blow dust into The graphic card even more  Edit i have now cleaned it and really surprised by how much better it was, around 25-30c when idle,, Before was it was 60c lol. I get around 60-80 depending if i overclock while in game

Shake it really hard and hope the dead animal that appears to be in there falls out

I wish.

We just have an old house where you put windows in every room, and when we moved in it had a ceiling fan.
it stays coolish even with 9 "computers":

Mine:

R5 3600/Windows 10

Power Mac G4 (not working atm)
iMac G5
Mac Mini 2011

Pentium III/Win98

Toshiba Satellite L25-S1192 (sadly can't upgrade to a Core 2 Duo T5600 from a Celeron M 730)

Raspberry PI 2 B+

 

My dad's:
HP Pavilion 15 (Core i5-10300H/GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q)

Work laptop

 

Plus a router, various other things, and bad cable management
Mostly stuff pillaged from the "to be thrown out" pile at work.

Which means a LOT of Ethernet cables, bunch of the desktop power cables (don't know official name), the odd VGA cable, and randomly an old Opteron.

I basically get computers for free from family

Two weeks ago I got 5
2 PowerPC Macs that just won't work

Pentium III system that works except for a dying hard drive

2 486 systems which were disassembled and merged into one

 

Then recently I got my Mac Mini 2011 and an Intel iMac that was completely dead
Except for the hard drive which has some stuff I want to recover
So that's on my "to-do" shelf

Seriously though, we have like 200 Ethernet cables

You probably have like 10k in parts right there lol

But I use it all.

Windows 10 for, well, duh.

Windows 98 for running older things

Windows XP for running in between things

Mac Mini 2011 for running Intel Mac applications (runs High Sierra)

iMac G5 for running PowerPC Mac applications (if it would work properly!!)

Power Mac G4 for... well... not sure yet because it doesn't work

Raspberry Pi 2 B+ for getting me second place in 6th grade science fair

486 PC doesn't have an OS yet

 

And I do have about $550 in computer parts ($200 from SCSI CD-ROM drive, $200 from SCSI 1GB IBM HDD, $200 from other things).

 

I wish my dad hadn't thrown away the network switch and little rack-mounted storage thing, because then I could have had fun setting up a NAS.

Alas, this was last year when my computer knowledge amounted to i7>i5>i3>Celeron
