Need help on cleaning desktop cpu

[fantasyrulz]

I normally don't clean my desktop and recently got some
Air flow issue... Open up and... Gosh...

Was wondering how you guys clean your desktop.

Should I buy afew cans of compress air can?
Or is it advisable to invest in a air compressor to blast all this dust off?

Wow that is really effective but hell is it LOUD.

use those damp rag (squeeze until don't drip water) or wet tissue to wipe the fans and casing flat surface ...... surface with too many pointy solder pins or capacitors don't need to clean ....


casing is filtered .... I can go 5 years without cleaning the insides if I want to , the fans and heatsink accumulate small black particles not big grey "pork floss"
...... only need to wash the filters few times a year

For long term usage, you should buy a blower instead. Compressed air can is costly in long run.

Looking at this compressor. If within 300 budget can consider getting.
Can use to spray paint, air gun, air nail, air pump.

Will be worth the investment.

Below $200 can get the DataVac blower.
As for leaves blower, less than $100.

Well TS, if you only clean your PC once in a blue moon it may not be wise to invest in a dust blower ..... i can lend u my Datavac but self collect at 10kkj.

But the Datavac itself is very durable and powerful.. i use it about 3-4 times per year to clean my PC, NAS and keyboard etc...
i would like to do it more often but to unplug the PC and carry it out to the corridor is not something a lazy person like me like to do often

Get a few cans of air better save on storage space also, but ofc use a dry piece of cloth to remove those visible thick layers of dust and use a normal vacuum cleaner for the dust filters before using the compressed air to clean.

I'm doing similar to you:
4x per year for my 2 desktops
2x per year for my NAS

I normally use CCleaner
It is free from Piriform that takes the work out of cleaning up your computer.
Click click and my pc clean liao.

Bros here are talking about cleaning DUST off their desktop and you talk about cleaning trash on your OS drive???
