Is there anyone that does onsite PC cleaning?

[CozyTheBest]

yes, i agree too

 

[KleoZy]

Just to OT a bit...

I have been trying to find such services for PC but at a much deeper level.

Something like this

Where the PC is literally stripped apart from the heat sink and completely cleansed by spraying those liquid.

I totally agree with you. I am doing that lol btw read your pm. thanks!


as for TS, you might want to give it a try to clean it yourself. It's not difficult if you practice with caution. just be gentle, use a can or airblower or as some bros here will suggest, grab a cheap blower which you can use in future.
btw if you intend to use those blowers, must make sure your PC is totally off and to tape your fan from spinning. reason is, when you are blowing air into the case. your fan will spin, this might generate backwards current back to your motherboard fan headers (harmful) so take note on that.

Wah. This is expensive service.

Not only need to be knowledgeable about electrical components, but experienced and delicate to handle it like a professional. On top of that, you need the tools. What is that liquid he spray? Rubbing Alcohol? Not many dare to strip their gpu, voiding warranty.
In the end, it is just better temp. Not much use for non-overclockers.

For normal users, just pay the money to upgrade the parts will be more efficient way of improving PC performance.

Wah $80, come, I do for you. No guarantee PC will be 100% working, just that I will be as delicate as a flower to clean it. Haha. I do clean my PC myself, not to the extremity of this video, just basic dirt clearing, reapply thermal paste for CPU.

Yup, you are absolutely right. if you do not know what you are doing, don't do it. Even if you know what you are doing.. you must absorb all risk factor

hmm unsure if anyone here dares to do this. Anyway no secret, any electronics or mechanical student here will know this. you can use either these.

as for alcohol wipes, not all can be used. you will need those wipes that will not harm PCB boards and contacts. https://sg.rs-online.com/web/p/flux-removers/7027904/ (I stop using it as I ran out, plus due to this pandemic, the prices are way too high lol)

Tidus notice this YES youtuber from Australia, I have been following his practical cleaning skills ever since.
I have been practicing this for years. last year I even bought a so call faulty GPU which seller himself does not know it's a working card, just that he do not know how to maintain it properly. I grab it for cheap and got it fixed.

Hahaha basic cleaning I also know how to do.

I am talking about REAL manly deep cleansing to the bare die and entire PCB and make it literally like brand new.

Something that KleoZy is talking about

There is a risk element in doing this. I tend to do this on the PC's I look after but I am prepared to replace parts that can potentially get damaged in the process.

If you are really keen to do this then the cost will be pretty much the same if not slightly more than building from scratch as the person will need to dismantle and clean the items. If the PC specs are current then I would consider spending to do this otherwise not really worth it.

What's so hard?
Moi just 5 mins with Leaf Blower.

Yup, I am with hafiz116. I have mentioned, if you know what you are doing, then go ahead. if not don't.
There is no absolute right or wrong. you are either good or bad in someways.
anyway, the choice is up to TS or any individual.

TS if you really want to get your PC clean, I suggest you to bring your case either to a friend or to SLS shops. I know is troublesome but just observe when either your friend or the shop at SLS helps you out.
I donno where that thread was but there is this guy call Nigel, he is pretty friendly. ask bros here to find contact and talk to him if he can help you out.

Spoiler

NOTE : YOU CAN SKIP THIS.

Now this is off topic. and only for those curious what can detail cleaning do with the two bottles am using.. you can witness this.

before using any new PC component, i will do these run down
1) Test out all pc components (MB, RAM, any PCIE cards and even NVME) outside the case.
2) once ok, shut PC down and cool for an hour or so, then use either of the spray and spray a generous layer on MB (entire board) , then for other PC components spray on the contact points. let it dry for 1 day, fix is and use it.
3) after a year, dismantle all parts. My chassis I will wash with water, wipe dry, further drying by using a blower. Once dried, spray WD40 and light wipe. Let dry a day.
4) As for components, I spray first layer, if got alcohol wipe I will wipe clean. If not, I will just let it sit for 30 minutes
5) Spray another layer, use soft brush (ladies eyeliner brush) to get rid of the gunk.
6) Final spray, hold on the parts at an angle so when you spray the dirt will glide off from your components
7) let it dry for a day
8) Fix everything back and use it again.

now alot have mentioned old parts remove and put back, can boot. part of the reason is due to contact points that are not maintain properly. I don't have any issues at all since my practice as stated above.

This might or might not happened. I am not a hardcore overclocker but I do experience better temperature with the above practice.

the only think I can say is that, by default manufacturer do spray a layer of protective coat on PC parts, to me they are generic layer which are kind of thick. so by applying Jackie 90, it first degrease that layer at the meantime provide a thin layer of protection.

If you intend to use this method, take down your current temperature at full load first. Once you did the method I did, tell me if your temperature did goes down or not. Just make sure it's of the same OC settings.

Thank you!

The china blower i bought more suited for blowing grass lol. Heng $20 only. But would have bought the datavac if there was promo. :/

 

[krey]

if scared, just buy compress air first.

should learn to clean yourself. can start small, dont need to do a full on deep cleanse for now until u get comfortable.

Bring the whole desktop out then spray the whole desktop especially the heatsink and fans

 

[jtjt00]

I have been cleaning my 2 home rigs as well as office desktops using compressed air.

For home rigs, using Metro DataVac. As for office ones, using company piped compressed air.

Got one time blow off the graphics card fan blades for office desktop.

 

[Northernray]

PC cooling fans won't generate current or became a generator if spin by external force like compress air or blower, the circuit board under the fan blade soldered with diode which will not allowed back flow current to occur. If you accidentally connect the positive and negative wires in wrong polarity, the fan simply won't spin, you can't fried the fan with the wrong polarity.

However, those toy DC motors are different beast, spinning it without power source will turn it into a generator.

Be cautious using industrial compress air from compressor without air dryer, especially the air blower/duster at the end of the air pipe, water will collect at the end of the pipe, good luck if you happen to use the last air duster, you might actually shower you PC with water jet.

This one won't short the cpu with static right?

No worry, the air is dry. Been using for years.

 

[Antisocial]

While I don't recommend this, but people have actually washed dirty mobos (without CMOS battery) under running water and they still run fine afterwards as long as they are fully dried. A soft brush or pressurized air in comparison is definitely safe.

The stock fans on my old lian li case generated current though. Had to hold the blades when using the blower

This is the last big service I did just a few weeks ago,.....
