I am planning on cleaning my pc. I got an air blower which i want to use but am concerned about its use. The air is so fast that i fear it can damage something or that it might pop out some components like capacitor. Is it safe to use at its minimum speed(6000 rpm).
How should i go about doing so?
like the distance i should keep..
Also should i turn the psu switch off after taking my pc out and do any anything to avoid esd other than touching the case sometime ?

They are most fragile component.
