Dust Cleaning

I've heard about 70% alcohol but what about 100%? Currently replacing my PSU right now, wiping the psu place with 100% alcohol on a fiber cloth(the one usually used to clean ur glasses), is this a good idea? 100% alcohol shouldn't have any water.

Sorry, not sure where to put this. I am a casual gamer and recently used a canned air duster on my laptop keyboard whilst switched off. I noticed that on one of the keys after there was a bit of liquid / condensation for a few seconds which then went away. The keyboard seems to be working okay...

What the title says so basically here is what is troubling me: i got the new vertex series and before i started to install it I started to uninstall my old psu until I saw dust around the 16-pin adapter.After removing the adapter this is the final result. I am quite paranoid about the gpu and...

hello! how can i remove the dust from the notebook? every time i open the notebook i find everything full of dust and i don't know how i can remove it... i wanted to try a hair dryer, however i am afraid of static electricity

Hello, I have the Sahara P35 case and was curious about removing the front panel to make it easy to clean the dust, does anyone know whether this a viable option without breaking it? Otherwise I'd probably have to remove the side panel and the front fans in order to clean it out I imagine...

Recently I bought a mini usb vaccum cleaner and I found out that some people use it to deep clean the dust on components such as the surface of the motherboard and gpu. It comes with a brush nozzle that looks a lot like the anti-static brushes I have around. I'm thinking about giving it a try...

Hi All, Tl;DR; I hoovered out my PC case without any anti-static protection or anything, HOWEVER, my PC was acting very slow and strange BEFORE I even did anything, and possibly would have bluescreened if I'd just waited a bit longer. Instead, I shutdown fairly quickly and decided to clean it...

My pc doesn't have a huge dust buildup but I still want to take care of it before it gets really bad. So, what's the best air compressor? A regular old air compressor with a tank or one of those little dust blowers that you see on Amazon (do they have moisture too?) Which one is more reliable...

Hey guys, I could really use some help right now. I recently opened up my PC to clean its insides after a pretty long time. It was working fine before, but I saw cobwebs hanging inside so I decided that it was high time I cleaned up. I opened up the case, cleaned all the components, including...

Hello All, After reading about Compressed Air Cans and Electric Air Blowers, I came across these: https://www.amazon.in/Blowers/b?ie=UTF8&node=3639138031 Are these safe to use for Cleaning the Cabinet/ CPU components? Thank you.

So as the thread title says, I have cleaned my pc ( fans, GPU and upper part of the motherboard) and the CPU got like temps 5C-7C higher in idle and I had an underclocked profile and it was still like 5-6 C higher, at full load ( normal profile AKA creator mode ) increased 3-5 C, and here when...

Hello everyone, hope you’re all finding yourselves through this whole quarantine. My ps4 runs very loud so I figured I’d follow a video on cleaning the dust out. I did everything perfectly fine and treated everything carefully making sure not to break anything on accident. However, after putting...

For some reason theres a burning plastic smell coming from my pc used it earlier in the day worked fine no smell turned it off for a couple hours and started it back up and it gave off the smell for some reason and looked it up and saw it could be the psu and motherboard I check both, both seem...

Silly question. If I remove my CPU Heatsink, VRM heat sinks, GPU Heatsink and fans and all my fans from my case. Then proceeded to run them under water and brush them gently with a toothbrush. Dry them with a hair dryer and some Q-Tips and let them set for a day or two. Would they all work...

Heyo! When im home I leave my laptop in my bedroom. But my bedroom tends to be very dusty because I live in a pretty old house. I can often see the dust on desk and try to clean it as much as possible. But I was wondering if this in the long run could damage my laptop, mouse and other...

So I removed and dusted my whole PC with X Power A-2 Airrow and then cleaned and reapplied thermal paste. It turned on and was working right after I finished and when I turned it off to move it to a different spot, it didn’t boot into windows and has constantly boot looped since. If needed I...

Hello, I have ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo, and I want to clean it (without taking the cover). Any tips? What should I be careful about? How to clean the motor? Any way to clean inside the card without taking off the cover?

hi , I bought an eletric blower a year ago to clean dust on my pc and I was wondering now if it´s possibçle to adapt the part that blows the air to reach the harder spots , because I get most of the dust off but can´t reach some spots . I will leave this image"...

This may seem like an unusual thread, but I don't think so. So, I live next to a very busy road and my room is the closest to the street and that is where my desk and my PC are placed. I like having a wide open window, especially in the summer and I like sleeping with it open. I recently got...

I built my computer around 3 years ago, so it was about time to clean the insides anyway. I've tried spraying compressed air into the case (taking every basic precaution) which did fix the problem for a bit, but it ended up stopping again. My case is a Xion XON 310 BK, a cramped, ugly mess of...

Hello! My laptop is HP Pavilion Notebook 15 p250nu. I have been using the laptop since like 2015-16 and never cleaned it up on the inside except a few months ago I had to swap the HDD with an SSD and then I also didn't really clean it much except blowing a bit of air at it. I don't really want...

I had to purchase a new PSU recently because my old antec TP750 was failing on me. I decided to bite the bullet and get what I thought was the best - Corsair AX860i. It is a pretty awesome PSU and does way more than I will ever need, however it has one thing that I hate - the fan. It is silent...

So I don't have a clue how to connect the cables from the front audio header to the motherboard's pins. http://imgur.com/icRFhKh,yGHtVuT,mFQKQnK,SH55Wh5,GEF6M2p,UVZrkmc,fC9AMLF,TzCvs5W#5 So,here it can be seen that I have only 5 cables,8 if we put the 'wierd' one (you will see soon),when my...
