PSU Question About Cleaning The Dust That It Has !

[ChrisTsall99]

Hello , I want to clean my PSU because It has some dust . So I just want to ask , can I use my air compressor in order to blow away the dust ? Also if the PSU is disconnected for 2 days from the Motherboard/HDD/GPU/Fans will it damage anything ?
Thanks For Your Help!

Make sure the psu is unplugged from a power source and blast away with your compressor. Do try to hold the fan still with a NON CONDUCTIVE thingy. Since there is always residual power left inside a psu and this can shock you if you use a conductive element that accidently touches a powered part when blocking the fan.

Doesn't matter if it has been disconnected for 10 minutes or a couple of years. You won't damage it just don't go over 3 bars of pressure.
