Very important announcement at the end of this video! Let me know what you think and feel free to provide any feedback/ideas below! Thanks for watching!

[@satinsguard]

100% sure the reason the CPU got so hot was that dried up thermal paste you removed!!!!!

[@dreadlord9257]

Something for you to try - you can set the case on it's side and use a leafblower (for a decently ventilated case - or at least mine is). Do it outdoors (goes without saying but just in case). Obviously don't crank the leafblower up to max or put it right up to the components - but you'd be surprised how much stuff it gets off. I would use the leafblower on the surrounding area first, so you aren't kicking up dirt into the pc.

[@GregSalazar]

Hi Greg, One feedback. Could you please provide a full specification of the PC through a simple text screen which covers everything from Motherboard to Optical Drive? I would just love to see what kind of specs different owners use. Also if possible please mention what is the main purpose of the PC being used for, e.g., work, gaming, editing, photoshop, etc. Thanks for the great videos man. Appreciate your work 😀

Yeah, I had that case for a long time as well. Finally came to an end with the RX 5700, the newer GPU's don't seem to fit into it anymore. It's large, but it lacks width. Also those front-finns were a damn nightmare to clean!

[@redensign1757]

I have a cheap hand piston air pump for inflating things like kiddie pools, and it works great for blowing air out of power supplies etc. whenever I see an old computer somebody tossed out I take it home and clean it up like you do, and fix whatever needs fixed, then I turn around and give them away online.

Cleaning a dusty pc on your carpet - not the smartest idea. It will stay thre and you be breathing it for a long time.. Also watewr washing PC case and expecialy fans.... I wouldnt want that to be done to my pc... Thank god you didnt water wash Mobo and HDDs... Get your self a 2in1 blower and a mini vacuum. You wont be speading dust all over the place... First you should Air blast the who PC outside.. Then you take it apart and clean it with wet tissues and.

[@paxvelocity]

with how simple it is to blow air under pressure that leaves you with the perfect pc without having to disassemble anything, also the worst thing it does is wash a fan or fans in tap water, the fans in case you don't know have a thin layer of Oil in its bearings, so what you are doing is damaging the fan since the water has really bad lime, all this that I see you doing cleaning in the computers I would not bring you any computer to clean, before I pick up with a gun of compressed air and it stays shiny much better than with water that I assure you and without having to disassemble anything, that this is another thing that I tell you everything in which it has screws what you do is that with the times you release and tighten them they go Taking slack or they come to pass by making infinite thread, I already tell you that what you do for me is not right, I'm sorry.

[@gecamposneto]

this is a very hard to read wall of text. you need to use some periods and commas but I assume english is not your first language so... anyway, he never washed any coolers, just the case. also, compressed air can sometimes just push dirt into crevices that you cannot clean later on. btw, I never had any screws that lost their threads just by removing then from time to time when I cleaned some components.

[@passionfly1]

I don't think people realize what an absolute professional you are at what you do. I have the the exact same case out of the many cases I own. I was genuinely shocked you used water but if you dry it it should be OK. I was also shocked at the meticulous detail in deep cleaning the hard drives with Q-tips in the grooves. You definitely do better than I do in cleaning my parts. Wow! Thank you for your channels' existence!

Should be oiled periodically (say every few years). It's usually not at all difficult to do, and it'll make most fans, even cheapo ones, last practically forever. Synthetic engine oil is OK.

[@Hartbreak1]

I have this case as well and I still use those "giant fans" they do a good job and are dead silent.

My case is the Corsair 740 and the kit for it was $70, but totally worth it imo.

I still use my HAF 932 on my daily driver. This case has seen entire systems come and go; the airflow it provides is just too good for me to justify retiring the old monster... and since i could not care any less about RGB, glass panels and all that jazz, i simply don't feel like i'm missing out. This case has proven to be bullet-proof, and at this point i just want to see for how longer can i hold onto it lol... maybe it'll survive another 10 years, maybe more! with proper and regular cleaning of the case, and its surroundings (which i do anyways, 'cause you know, i'm a human being, not an animal lol) there's no reason why good cases like the HAF 932 cant remain in use for many decades.

No matter what you do, even water doesn't get rid of the acrid smell of grossness, plus the carcinogens that enter my breathing space is beyond what I am willing to do to help some people). Some times they can't believe I didn't upgrade their system in some way! But I haven't done it for awhile, and these vids let me live vicariously through you - so thanks! :) New favorite channel! Everything you do while cleaning is great, but your QTip game is bang on!! When you were cleaning the screws I just sat back and enjoyed watching a master plying his trade, seeing the extent you were going to clean this system. 'Deep clean' is an understatement. Impeccable work. Great content, love it!!

Never clicked so fast in my life

[@googlegmail4636]

why you do that?

[@lcurtis862]

Greg's grass when they see him carrying a case to the patio - "LUNCH!"

[@MetalSniperHD]

Very deep, very clean, also the balls to use water with cables around

[@TheGam3Br3akeR]

I would put my hand in boiling water before my pc ever came close to the way this one looks how do people do this lol

[@chriskozak5074]

Any one else really enjoy how neat and just pretty the MB was after it was cleaned up?

[@codelinx]

This is literally what I'm about to do right now. 10-12 case. I'm pulling the power supply which is a lightly used Corsair ax1200i. The dust in this case was insane. I cleaned it about a month before I put it away. Next time I'll stop a thorough cleaning and wrap the case openings

[@TARGETZXTT]

You need to invest in an air compressor. cut you cleaning time in half

[@UponGiantsShoulders]

I honestly cannot believe you cleaned this nasty thing indoors.

[@akfhjfughjgh]

how the hell this PC so Dirty!!!! My old Gaming PC i built in 2009 not even this bad!! and i haven't opened since i added ssd in 2012!!!

[@m8x425]

I have the HAF 932 and it's a dust magnet.... and it's worse if the house doesn't get vacuumed regularly or if there are pets. The one case I have that never gets dirty is the CM Storm Trooper. I swear it can go a year without a cleaning, and it wouldn't even require a dusting.

[@Akalipt0s]

At least buy a proper UV light ..i am sure you can afford it

[@varkoma]

No one: Greg: Let's spend two days cleaning pc me: Gimme air compressor and watch me clean it for 5mins.....

[@GregSalazar]

Oh the ignorance. An air compressor alone wouldn't get ya anywhere near this level of deep-cleaning. Ask me how I know.

[@ddimkinn]

Этот мастер ни разу не убивал компьютер статическим электричеством от пылесоса и тряпки.....

[@Investigamer]

Oh my god the Cooler Master HAF!! This was case I used when I built my first very high budget system, I was rocking dual Nvidia 780 Frozr's, i7 4770k, all the bells and whistles. I tell you what this case served me well, they don't make them like this anymore. So rugged... so hardcore... so stupidly big and heavy lol.

[@MrGomjabber]

I have that case and I have never let it get that dirty. Sad.

[@zhon5311]

christ, i'd just hose it down and wait for it to dry

[@ypoora1]

This is my favourite era of computer hardware. I don't know, something about the stylized but not over-the-top aesthetic and the enthusiast-friendly, tinker-able approash taken with all of the parts of the time. I had an AMD FX build and had the snot overclocked out of it.

[@CoDJumpMaster]

I still use this case, great case for it's age. Originally there is also a 3rd 230mm exhaust fan where the AIO rad is mounted. Mine is set up very similarly, just with newer hardware.

[@supersvane]

I remember having one of these Haf X cases. Changed the 23cm fans in front and back to red led as well. I thought it looked pretty good at the time 🙂

[@2012stang302]

I still have that case and love it ! You can do so much with it ! :) Never have any heating issues at all. :)

[@Lalo_plays]

Mom look! My PC in on KZbin! Greg: Let's pull out the black light. Welp looks like my screen just broke and caught fire all of a sudden.
