Dusting PC

[Ark Law]

I am also interested in getting rid of the dust in my CPU cooler. but very troublesome to take it out to clean. I need a more convenient way to sort of get rid some of the dust while installed....

Use vacuum cleaner.

Alternatively, change your air pressure setup/chassis so that you'll never need to clean parts ever again

How much does this cost locally?

I'm also interested.

SGD124 for duaki Bosch.

You sure positive air pressure will prevent dust entering chassis to the point internal is dust-free?

Most convenient liao.

A bit exp........

Remove the CPU fan and use the duster to blow through the heatsink fins.

Hmm removing the fan still requires some fiddling. Also I am not sure on how to remove the fan while the cooler is still installed..

You want me to die ah??!!!

You do know that vacuum casues static in your PC right???

And yes I have 2 intake fans at the front and one fan at the rear. This is will be a positive airflow right?

If not how to make it MORE POSITIVE?

Yah, I use vacuum cleaner even on my motherboard. No problem so far. I have no idea why people want to blow, when suck is so much more effective.

I just use my vac

Not 100% dust-free, but to the point it doesn't need cleaning. The only time I needed to clean my parts was when I had a gaping hole causing neutral/negative pressure for 2 weeks. I accumulated 20x more dust in those 2 weeks than I did for the 10 months since I owned the casing till that time.

That. Besides, my vacuum has an ultra low suction setting - where it can't even suck a tissue.

Anyway, it's not just positive pressure like I mentioned. You need the correct pressure, proper filters and a chassis with minimal perforations other than the fan slots.

+1 for ultra fine magnetic fan filters placed on grill.

no need so worry la...

our air is so humid, no much static

I am using DEMCiflex filters for my desktops.

i've seen many filter mods involving stocking/pantyhose,

and window screening - probably easiest, just cut out desired shape and stick magnet strips

You can use vacuum here. The air isn't too dry to have static build up easily on components. Blowing has more removal power than sucking. That's why it's more preferred, though messy.

+1 indeed

Was this thread appear just the right time. Anyone know where to get filters? Preferably just the filter sheet itself. I want to replace the lousy foam filters on my Arc Mini R2.

Nice thread bookmark

use vacuum cleaner can use the brush head to brush the components?

I'm just using the normal tube to suck some dust, but those fine fine one will just stay on the components, can't suck them off....

Normally for me, for those hard to remove dust, I would use a fine paintbrush and move in one direction ONCE. Vacuum brushes tend to be thicker and if you go 'bua & bua' your components, then @.@... invest in ultra fine fan filters and your life will be easier ba.

How much should I expect it to cost? And also, those filter is to put on the exterior of casing only for the fans blowing air into the case right..?
