Cleaning my computer

[Intergraphic]

Hey guys, tomorrow I'll get my new pc stuff and I'd like to clean my old parts and the case in general.

Is it a good way to do this with an air compressor? Any other tips/suggestions?

(Sry for my english)

How deep of a cleaning do you want?

 

Blasting it with an air compressor should work for some light to moderate cleaning...

 

Thorough cleaning would call for disassembling the machine and going over the parts one by one...

An air compressor is a good tool for cleaning your PC just make sure not to spray it all over and hold the fans when you do the fan blades.

This video comes to mind.

Yes:

• Canned Air
• Air Compressor
• Small, dainty paintbrush

No:

• Vacuum Cleaner
• Blowing really hard

It doesn't have to be as clean as possible. I just want a bit better airflow and the old parts to be clean in case I sell them.

Some canned air/compressor and brush should be enough. if you dont have it then maybe simple paper is fine too. For delicate part such as mobo, CPU (dont even think about removing the CPU out of the Mobo), GPU, use brush to brush off the dust gently, or air compressor to blow it off. dont try to use paper with anything that have lines running on it, like the Mobo surface or the back of the GPU. It's best if you can take apart the computer to clean each part separately.

Thx for the quick answers. I'll clean the case now and get each part ready to clean it seperatly later.
