How To Clean Your Computer From Dust Without Compressed Air With An Old Toothbrush | Pt 10

How To Clean Your Computer From Dust Without Compressed Air Tutorial For Beginners.
You guys voted for a tutorial on how to clean computer dust, so today we are doing exactly that in this Fractal Design Define R5 PC case, but we are doing it without using a canned compressed air or an electric gadget like the DataVac or a vacuum cleaner, instead we are using an old toothbrush. I also share with you the best way to air cool your pc with a positive pc case airflow simulation, including how to find pc fan case airflow direction for positive air pressure, coming up, lets tech it out.
The old fashion manual method of of dust cleaning a desktop computer is not for everyone. It does take longer but it can be a therapeutic and skill building exercise for those who have an interest in PC building and troubleshooting.
Welcome to One PC To Rule Them All Challenge, the show I give you full responsibility and authority to decide on every single aspect and component of my next PC Built for 2019, with a triple boot system with Windows Linux and MacOS. At the end of the video I usually put up a KZbin community tab poll for you to vote on the topic for the next episode.

[@Seedr0]

My idea is to not take things apart once built, clean twice a year or even once a year, clean with a soft paintbrush whatever is easily accessed, take off the CPU fan but not the heatsink if anything... Don't get sucked into overclocking hype but get yourself lots of cooling, then just make sure there aren't giant dust pile buildups so there is no chance of short-circuiting. You don't want to be constantly unplugging and plugging things back in, or constantly moving and touching parts, it just increases fail rates. You also end up doing more work than the parts are worth.

[@TheKb117]

water hosing a desktop unit = crazy. You're plan to use an air compressor machine is a good one. Possible concerns could be moisture and/or oil, from the machine, and esd. Might use an oil/water trap and an anti-esd pin/needle at the nozzle(diy) wired to ground. Still looking for an inexpensive unit, or even a 2nd hand one. In my experience though, even with a powerful air pressure, a thin film of dust residue is left. A good wipe down, imho, is a must. Nice vid, btw, & more power Ash. hth

[@BassBadAzz]

".... the idea is to have some fans pushing air in, and then all the air gets extracted outside, that causes what's called positive air pressure..." That's not exactly how positive pressure works. The idea is to have more air entering your case than you have leaving out. For example if you have 3 inlets fans (lets says they move 60 cfm of air each) that total 180cfm, you want to get outlet fans with airflows that total a lower number than 180cfm, for example if you get 3x60cfm inlet (180cfm), you may want to go 3x40cfm (120cfm) for the outlets. That causes the air inside the case to always be "bulging out", this causes air to push out of the cracks of the case, thus reducing the chancea of dust slipping through those cracks. If you do the opposite and have negative air preasure, dust will be sucked in through those cracks. It has nothing to do with a design flaw.

[@skertyy.]

Gonna restore this pc I have under my bed. And I don't have compressed air so looks like ima have to buy a new toothbrush.

[@viqo5627]

Assalamualaikum brother! That could happenned when using vacuum cleaner due to the generated static electricity caused by the dust particles hitting the plastic wall of the vacuum cleaner but it is like 1:1000 chances, which then that electricity could jump to pc component and fry them, some people are fine with it some aren't

[@TheKb117]

and static is more likely in cold weather or in an air conditioned environment where humidity is low. Would running a wire from ground and placing it at the tip of the vacuum nozzle minimize it?

[@artex_112]

Pc parts get used overtime, the lifetime of them depends on alot of factors like temperature differences, how much its used, and in what condition it is. you should clean your pc atleast once a year, also when you see that cleaning doesnt help it may be a good moment to consider buying new parts. I built my pc like 2 years ago and already after heavy using it to render 3d images CPU gets on idle from 39C to 45C. i will need to consider changing thermal paste and maybe getting better cooling.
