Just doing some cleaning / fan configuration.

[Legion]

So I was decided I was going to swap some fans around on my PC to experiment with better airflow. As I was cleaning out the fan filters I decided to measure up the front of my case for a 240 radiator(500R), Popped off the front and nearly choked to death the amount of dust that got caught in the fan filter over the two years. (I try to clean my PC about once every month/two months. But for some reason have always neglected the front two fans.)

 

Have any of you experienced such dust? Only worse experience I can think of was moving a 14 year old pc out into the shed and I dropped it sending years of dust into my face :'(

Dust only bothers me when it's smoker dust.

Worst smell ever.

Smoke makes dust?

[MegaDave91]

I clean my front filter probably twice a month. Power supply  filter maybe once a month, if that, because it doesn't suck in as much dust.

what ever home that was in needs to be condemned.

my brothers pc was pretty bad ran 4 years without cleaning it. then it surprisingly died(made good wall decorations)

I meant people who smoke cigarettes and the smell, smoke and tar gets into the PC and mixes with the dust so it creates this thick brown coating of dust that smells like the rear end of a trucker.

Example;

 

Oh God I can smell it from here...

My fans get this weird black, sorta sticky like soot on them for some reason Only stains the fans though

That color matches my noctua fans.

That color matches my noctua fans.

This just in: smokers with windowed cases should buy noctuas to hide the color of the smoke filled dust.

We found a use for them to match a case, after all this time!
