Dust in tower

[MrJoshpillow]

i just built my new PC friday and since ive noticed dust build up mostly just on the window i have four intake fans and one sucking all the heat out. so my question is there a good way to keep dust out?

 

[Brantyn Gerik]

static free lint cloth (microfiber) or straight up compressed air and then just sweep the dust away (put it on floor, then blow dust out) do not vacuum or use a damp cloth

alright thanks. what about when i want to clean all the parts how do i go by doing that. id say just take the parts out but my water cooling is in the and be very difficult to do

well usually you have to take the system apart to clean. if it's an all in one water cooler, then you just blow compressed air through the radiator.
if it is a custom system, then you just need to flush the loop (run water through it with it draining into your sink or something) for other parts, you literally can wash them, then dry them with a hairdryer, but this isnt really necessary or advised (usually only pro modders do it for photo shoots) just compressed air the crap outa it, get into every nook and cranny, then just sweep it off your floor after.

yes it is a custom water cooler. alright hopefully it will keep form getting to dusty for awhile. thanks for the info!!

There are air filters you can get that are installed in front of the intake fans on your case that may help cut down on the dust that gets blown into your computer.

Hi we been having a similar discussion on this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2031488/maximize-coolermaster-elite-130-cooling.html#12740238

I came up with a cheap £6 solution that works absolutley fine. Basically you can make your own Demciflex filters very easily
