Leaf Blower to clean PC

[GirlFromYonder]

Can take a leaf blower to my PC and remove the cobwebs in there or do i need to paint brush everything. 
(Compressed air can not available)

You could but make sure the fans aren't spinning.

if you have alot of debris flying around I would not recommend it as something might damage your pc. Actually I wouldnt recommend it at all... Also make sure all fans are unplugged

[.:Wumbo:.]

Don't think that would be a very good idea.... All that air could damage your components

Also, I wonder how well you could OC with a leaf blower instead of a fan on your cpu-cooler..... but that's a different story haha

If you have THAT much dust wouldnt it help to just open the side panel and shake it a bit?

Doubt that would work well, guess you'd be limited by the heat transfer of the heatsink and heatpipes themselves  

Funny nonetheless though

Use tape to make sure the fans don't spin and i guess give it a try...

Also, just a suggestion, record it

If it does go wrong we can at least have a good laugh.

I'm not exactly a great person am i? D:

Aww man, you should have told me before. I could have filmed the bricking of my z170 motherboard, the death of my i5-6500 and the dead of my r9 380 too  

 

 

If you look at it, I have pretty much killed a whole computer.

I bought this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00S7CH6FK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 

works perfectly. It's like a mini leaf blower and moves a lot or air.
Cleaned my Pc in seconds. I now do it once a week because of how easy it is.

i dont see why not, just make sure you unplug all of the fans or tape them so they cant spin, bc if the fan blades spin the motor will generate a current that could theoretically brick your motherboard
