[@hulem98]

The fan is designed to spin by force applied on the shaft, not force from the blades So you need to HOLD DOWN THE BLADES (like he did on the video) and DO NOT LET THE FANS SPIN

[@SlyStarling]

I've always let my fans spin when cleaning out my pc and it has no effect to it at all

[@samueladitya1729]

it's not the force that probably damage it, but the rpm. if the rpm too high the bearing could get damage, probably more than 4 times rated speed. but that require strong compressor. fan is not that brittle.

[@Its_Destiny]

@@SlyStarling IT does . And i if you are unlucky it can break your whole system . So the fans generate current which could harm the components inside the fan and in your whole System. But if you wanna keep doing it and wanna risk dmg go on . :)

[@SlyStarling]

@@Its_Destiny I mean, i only do it to case fans, I haven't done it to my gpu cause I only recently just got it, it's an RTX 2060 so I try not to damage it 😅

[@FuSiionCraft]

@@Its_Destiny It doesn't. If you buy a cheap graphics card from a no-name brand and it breaks, it's your fault Everything is conceived to resist *at least* 2 to 3 time its normal operational forces. That's called engineering a product So, it's etiher your fault for being way too brutal, or your fault for buying cheap crap Done that for what, 8-9 years now, and not a single problem whatsoever.

[@mariustandrup2636]

When I usually clean a gpu I completely open it. Reapply new thermal paste. Wash the heatsink and fans

[@greb.]

I do that when I don't have warranty

[@nazfx2648]

Wait did you just say *_wash_* the heatsink and fans?!?

[@greb.]

@@nazfx2648 not fans, yes heatsink

[@alanwatts8239]

@@greb. No need for that, man. Only more room for error.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

can wash both heatsink and fans, no problem. Although not necessary neither. And I definitely wouldn't apply new thermal paste that often, usually no need (and costs lol). Clean gpu once in 1-3 years, thermal paste when needed but often not before 5 years.

[@Sam_995]

This is great for someone like me who gets anxiety whenever they take something apart

[@BOBtheDripper]

You can avoid your warranty tho

[@garycollumbell1396]

or if you have 2060 FE thats impossible to take apart for example thing has alot of screws with a glued power connecter and backplate

[@FragTix]

just avoid the fan spinning when using it

[@Flying_Toaster]

you again....

[@fourtiefourfour4259]

You can avoid a lot of dust build up like this by having dust covers on your PC as well as doing regular cleaning on the inside of your case

[@BRUH-fe8wz]

Nah dust covers impede airflow

[@nexxusty]

Use a dry paint brush, a small one, all over the card first, then use your duster can or air compressor. Rinse and repeat until clean. Dry paint brushes even get smokers dust off, there isn't anything in 28 years of being a geek that has worked better for me. Cotton swabs take too long and aren't as effective.

[@AwkCrafty]

I get too caught up in huffing the compressed air.

How to fully clean GPU?

[@chrisxmc5676]

I done this yesterday I done exactly this lol I dident use a cue tip though I used a cloth with my small fingers and it looked brand new

[@ian1752]

I legit did a clean the night before watching this on the exact same card

[@noaage4592]

Canned air? I unplug my whole computer and take it to the garage and blast it with the compressor. I don’t know if it is safe for my computer but it has worker several times and it is free 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@vipbeef2174]

I'd like to imagine Dante (DMC1) pulls up on Alastor and stabs him with Alastor. It'd be funny lol.

[@thermitty_qxr5276]

Mryeester: i mind to do it outside. Me: but you're in inside?

[@THENOOBISYOU]

Ayo that’s my graphics card!

[@izfida]

What a nice guide.

[@HarunOKUDUCU]

I prefer deep cleaning instead this method. Also dont forget to use more termal paste than you do for cpu.

[@simonseis744]

0:17 - Use one hand for the compressed air and the other hand for a vaccum cleaner and no cleaning up afterwards

[@LVIS-a]

Use a vacuum cleaner instead, because that compressed air will indeed push out some dust, but it will compress the same amount into a thick hump pressed against the logic board and crammed between the cooling fins (as you can see in the video). Just Google how to remove the fans only, it's 2 small screws usually per fan.

[@WilliamLaurenson]

Don't do this; it's not safe (static electricity). Also, vacuum cleaners do not have enough power to even remove all of the dust in the first place. No disrespect, but I think you'd be much better off just using compressed air to blow the dust away/loosen it and let the GPU fans take care of the rest. There's always going to be a thin layer of dust around that's difficult to remove completely unless you deep-clean it (which can void your warranty and is not worth the effort IMO unless you really know what you're doing), but the effects it has on temps are negligible anyways.

[@bossilays_i]

I usually use a random toothbrush from 7 years ago to clean my pc

[@KIgaming.]

The stickers on the EVGA logo… yeester you monster.

[@notyourbusiness4169]

Do not use compressed air cans due to the aerosol inside, get two anti static electroc dusters, one battery powered for the more intricate stuff and one cabled for bulk operations

[@zinx6809]

*It's not much, but it is honest work*

[@packerman1203]

Please just take it apart and clean it, its usually just 4 screws holding on the cooler and thermal paste isnt expensive

[@Alsund]

^^ This comment. Removing old thermal paste and applying new one makes huge difference also!

[@quantino1611]

How did you get it so dusty? I haven’t cleaned my pc in 2 years and gpu barley has any dust

If you dont have compressed air can, you can use: electric air compressor or manual air pump with friend's help.

[@Breakerisaac]

Ill do you one better. -Go outside and use a small leaf blower with a special attachment. -Open up the graphics card and blow all the dust out with the small leaf blower and use a toothbrush for the heat sink. Qtips with alcohol for the fans. - Wipe everything with isopropyl alcohol let it dry repaste it. - put everything together connect fans and youre good to go.

Bro that's the same GPU I put in my computer back in 2014, EVGA 770 superclocked with ACX cooling. What a coincidence

i do this every 2 months and take it apart and deep clean and change thermal pads and other every year

[@BravoPix]

Is it safe to remove my gpu without losing data or changing it for a better one?

[@yilong_ma]

Changing your gpu will not cause any data loss as it is not related. Upgrading your gpu is a common thing and with the correct drivers, it should work more than fine.

[@aaronageesh5713]

bruh me watching this video without a gpu

[@BRUH-fe8wz]

Get a gpu then

[@cds5067]

Thanks for the q tip .... tip ... I honestly learnt something you rule.

[@NextGeneration9501]

for me, i would do deep cleaning by disassembling the gpu and power wash those heatsinks & fans when i can

[@raulm8853]

Is "thoroughly" the right word to use?

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

Did you know? Cans of compressed air are actually compressed refrigerant! Try not to think about the fact you can literally buy refrigerant in a can specifically to spread into the atmosphere :D

[@NB89876]

Take it apart and give it new paste lol

[@vodka_triceps]

U have to use water to clean thoroughly... 😂😂😂

[@stevenfernandes8770]

Hey mryeester use superglue instead of thermal paste on cpu

[@madthunbs3703]

Windex bottle with mineral oil, spray it down,it will be very clean.

[@ujt656]

I use leaf blower to clean my gaming pc. It cleans hell out if everything. And those who geeks telling me I am noob. Let me tell you. I am cleaning my PCs since 2006. And that 2006 pc become too old and was retired in 2018. I am cleaning my 2 other PCs same way. One is 2018 model other one is 2013. Air cans are expensive and may contain liquid droplets...like in the end of can...it happened one time. Just buy a leaf blower...clean you lawn...and Pc at the same time...just do it in short burst at lower setting...and keep PC grounded. Nothing will fry from static electricity

[@clayski9470]

people are not lying about making sure you dont let the fan spin it wasnt my gpu fan but my intake fan one of them takes about 2 mind to get to the full 900rpm im using

[@Tyreek1]

Use caulking instead of thermal paste

[@staz223]

well, i'm usually disamble cooler system and doing proper cleaning of the whole gpu and changing thermal paste

[@Theres_No_PlanetB]

Air compressors okay. Would hold fans still.

[@HectorDomino.]

Still a pound of dust in there! If someone got this much trash inside the card, open it part by part and deep clean it.

Criminey. I hold the fan in one dinner and vacuum out the fins with a strong vacuum cleaner. Freak out if you like, but I've never lost a card yet. I learned not to worry from my IT department that would change out motherboards on carpets. Too much emotional baggage with this stuff.
