Cleaning PC

[QuantumForce69]

I've never properly cleaned my PC before and its starting to build up, does anyone recommend any good  electric/reusable air compressors? (and yes I know not to let the fans spin while cleaning them)

 

 

 

Thanks guys!

I use my vacuum cleaner except plug the tube from the intake with outtake so it pushes air out. No need to waste money on disposable air canisters

Air blower, vacuum cleaner, pcb cleaner, qtips, damp microfiber cloth (especially for fan blades),  maybe iso.

A compressor that can keep 2bar going or one of those pc dusters on amazon + a not too firm paint brush is really all you need for most dust.

 

If its super bad staining/sticking dust drench it in 70% or higher isopropyl alcohol or waterless brake cleaner. (both destroy thermal pads so be warned)

I don't recommend buying an electric duster like a Datavac if you're just blowing your PC out once in a blue moon. That's an expensive tool that's only really good for one thing. A leaf blower will do the same job and then some.

 

If you have a Shop Vac, put the hose on the discharge (blowy) side and use that. (If you don't have a Shop Vac, a small one should be less expensive than an electric blower.)

I mean just look at an LMG video on this topic that should give you enough info

Just a cheapo can of 5* Air Duster and a Soft Bristle paintbrush have always done the trick for me.

Take it outside when you blow it out!
