How often do you dust your PC?

[Guest]

Bitfenix Prodigy is already conveniently up "in the air" due to its rubber stand things, but i just keep mine on the desk or on the drawers next to the desk. Anything to keep it off the ground, really.

Also, change the furnace air filter haha

I try to ignore until it goes away by itself.

It generally doesn't.


I even have a air purifier, but that's still not enough to get rid of dust particles. It does seems to make a difference in how much dust accumulate everywhere when it's ON, though.

i ignore it, but since i have a black desk and black peripherals, and a window in my pc, so i clean my desk and peripherals  once a month, and my pc every three months

For the inside of my case, I just have positive airpressure. I'm also using a Fractal R4 which has an insane amount of dust protection.
Just cleaned it out about a week ago for the first time in 6 months and the amound of dust was miniscule.

air purifiers.

but the cheap ones barely makes any noticeable difference.

For starters I put my computer on my desk and try to clean it out every month or so (I clean the dust filter roughly every week). Everything else I just wipe off with a cloth when dust becomes noticeable.

I also dust my furniture much the same way.

Swiffer duster for the monitors and peripherals, positive pressure and intake filters keep my PC squeaky clean.

Is I dont an option? But not true story is I hover the case fans once and month and then every year or so I strip the system down and go at the heat sinks with a paintbrush and dismantle the frames holding in my dust filters. Well if I can be bothered thats what I do anyway. Far to lazy for my own good.

Microfiber cloth my stuff at least once a week

I added dust filters to each of my computer's vents (intake/vents/those odd groups of holes that can't fit a fan) and use one of those small, portable car Tyre inflaters. Most of the dust issues are sorted, before I added the filters I was literally having to strip and dust my computer every week, or it would start melting from the dust.

Create positive pressure inside your PC case by increasing the air flow going into the case.  To clean it I just use a can of compressed air.

 

For other things, just wipe them down every time you notice them getting dusty.

Is it safe to clean your GPU and motherboard with a small and  soft painting brush ? Since canned air is expensive  here and i only have a vaccum that cant blow air ,and i dont wanna blow it with my mounth ? 

[Toddwjp]

canned air is like 10 bucks

[j.dirona]

I mean you can but it'll probably only do as much as moving the dust around not actually getting it off

[creativename]

Yes. Its just alot of work.

[Horrorfull]

I use cotton swabs for the fans.

[SoAp3x]

im from croatia and in my currency its 60 kn and that is much ( a noctua fan is around 200 kn )  

[Horrorfull]

There's nothing I can really do. Even though I keep the windows closed and the doors shut, it still creates so much dust after a week or two. I probably went through 2 packs of canned air, a bottle of wood cleaner, and Lysol disinfecting wipes in only a week.

i just wanna know if it is safe , i can then remove the dust

It's compressed air not damn Oxigen for god's sake LOL, i feel your pain; everything is expensive here too

[eelnico09]

I do it with a painting brush, clean ofcoruse. But with compressed air you can do a much better job.
