How do you keep your rig clean?

[j1404]

make sure you have no intake fans 

[j1404]

Or try this well known method

[Redheadsrule13]

Give it a go over with a toothbrush and a cloth whenever I get new components.

The ensure positive pressure, you just need more intake fans than exhaust. Or at least the intake fans need to be drawing more air than the exhausts. For example my case has two intake fans in the front and one exhaust in the back.

 

To remove dust you can of course use air but also a soft brush is helpful, especially on PCBs.

Lol, your a Secure Socket Layer.

some brand new tooth brush and compressed air. it works and nothing has broken so far for all these years.

 

I do remember washing my keyboard with water though (ducky shine) washed it with water a little scrub and a 4 days dip in the rice bucket.

Ok, don't scrub eventhough I get likes....

 

I think this video would help you out alot, heck I even do the same thing;

Thx Linus!

Seriously, i noticed a gigantic difference (or lack thereof) of dust buildup since adding fans to make the system positive-pressure.

Best LTT video ever.

Well first off  remove all my components from my pc case, and safely place them in a dishwater making sure there are no items that will leave scratches or harm any of the components. You then want to use a soap that is non conductive and wash you component for exactly 10 minutes. Finally go ahead and proceed to throw the components in the bin.

Can anybody explain the whole concept of positive ptessure?

And I really need to get some of that compressed air. The dust in my case is actually only on the fans

[ofr057]

one of the most simple thing to reduce the amount of dust in your computer is to have your computer on your desk not the floor

postive pressure you want to draw more air into your case through filter's so anywhere there isnt filter's the air is getting forced out

 

for fans you can take them out and clean them with a damp cloth and just leave them to dry, also Isopropyl alcohol in the more sensitive areas

thanks i get it now But i guess having a top fan won't help keep it clean even if it pushes out the air. Because dust just falls onto it.
