Cleaning PC case

[-Chui-]

Hi, is it ok to use the exhaust of my vacuum cleaner to blow the dust inside my chasis?

And if not, what's the proper way to clean and maintain the inner and outer parts of my chasis? Thanks in advance

It should be alright, but I recommend a microfiber towel, they work great.

NO!

Vacuums produce a lot of static electricity and thus creates a lot higher risk of ESD.

The canned air is the best option.
Some people (myself included) will use an air compressor but there are several safeguards that have to be done so it is not recommended.

I would not unless it was a very low power vacuum.
Too high a velocity can spin fans to dangerous speeds.
A cloth is probably best, or perhaps some canned air.

The best option is prevention.
See if you can't set up a positive pressure airflow where all the incoming air comes from one source and is filtered.

What is your case?

Hi, my case is Deepcool Kendomen! I think it has a filter already but I always open the side panel of the case when I am using it, maybe that's the reason It still accumulated dust inside.

My suggestion to try:
Use only two front 120mm fans as intakes and one 120mm fan in the rear as exhaust.
You will get sufficient airflow.
If you use more exhaust fans, they will draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings.

If you think you need more airflow, you can replace the intakes with higher cfm fans at the expense of added noise.
