I had a friend who's computer was so dusty inside that whenever he started a game it crashed almost immediately.

Blast it with air and it worked perfectly.

Never underestimate vacuuming and dusting.

Probably because your CPU is not throttling due to overheating.

Huh. Maybe cleaning shit and gunk off of components helps improve airflow and cooling, you slob.

also had a laptop that id play minecraft on, fans would hit max and fps would drop while playing, blasted with air and no more throttling

>open up case
>take it outside
>have at it with a leaf blower

Keep your canned air.

Never own another piece of hardware ever again.

Cool desu senpai

What type of air filter do you use for that?

>>60147254
I use my shops air compressor, set at 120psi, using a 1/8s inch nozzle air gun, held about 2 feet away.

Works great.

It's probably because the only case fans I have in the entire PC is a single exhaust fan. No air being pulled into the case makes for little dust.

I use these.
But any will do.

The point is all air gets filtered, unlike with negative pressure designs where dusty air gets sucked in through any holes.

You must live in some kind of dirt-hole.
>tfw Define R4 has air intake filters
>tfw no need to do anything else but dust off said filters now and then

How much does can of compressed air last?

I want to clear my pc with it, but I'm having trouble with idea of buying a fucking air in a can.

>use powerful air compressor to clean every little corner inside the case
>nothing changes

Only oiling the fans makes this thing quieter, but all my actual fans are those sealed rifle bearings, so i don't think oiling them works. Would like to test one of those magnetic Corsair fans.

I use a dry unused paintbrush to clean off my electronics

if you don't like that, just go to harbor freight and buy a cheap air compressor and inline filter. Like $30 and you can dust your computer forever

How often should you clean your PC? I do it once a year

It varies, how much dust accumulates where you live? Do you have dust filters? Positive air pressure in your case?
