The MOST SHOCKINGLY Dirty Computer I've EVER Cleaned!

[@ZacGaming_1]

Amazing video! ⚠️always test a power supply before opening to make sure there is no power left in it as psu’s can hold their charge⚠️

[@french.satisfactory]

Thank you very much for your comment @ZacGaming_1 glad to know you enjoyed watching this video ❤️ I should maybe add disclaimer or something on the videos about that. Let's pin your comment for the moment ✌️

[@azena.]

​@@french.satisfactory definitely disclaimer! Psu internals can kill.

[@user-dw1sb4id7q]

A short about this? It will be useful and youtube likes shorts! It can reach much views!

[@mrtetillas7504]

dont worry about that, left the pc without power about 30 seconds or 1 or 2 minutes and all capacitor will discharged

[@dreizza]

@@mrtetillas7504 Best thing yet is to turn off the PSU switch then "HOLD" the power switch for 30 sec to a minute. Capacitors can hold a charge for a very long time. By holding the pc power switch on, this forces the caps to discharge faster.

[@Mariano.Bernacki]

I've worked many years repairing computers. Smokers' computers, especially laptops, always had fan issues and overheating. That oily/gunky residue accumulating on every inside surface is a magnet for dust and fluff.

[@french.satisfactory]

Thank you very much for your comment @Mariano.Bernacki I received so many comments saying that I did a fake video because "this dust is impossible..." so yeah... thanks for taking your time to write this comment ❤️❤️

[@SirReptitious]

That's not nicotine; it's dust, possibly combined with years of cheetos dust. You can't remove nicotine from parts by dusting with a paint brush, it has to be removed with a cloth and a cleaner like Formula 409. I grew up with both parents who smoked so I have lots of experience cleaning that shit off...

[@french.satisfactory]

Well, it is an heavy smoker and pets owner PC, who was probably on the floor and, I would even add that this PC did smell "magic cigarets"... Bad combo.😅 @SirReptitious Didn't know about this Formula 409. I will check this. Thanks for the tip. ❤️

I bet it stinks. You have to wash everything, with water and soap. Dry it with hot air and let it several days in a dry environment before mounting it back.

[@darkinterceptoralex2419]

very satisfying. but i have a question. the cpu fan is blowing downwards. top and rear fans blow outside. would it be way better to let the cpu can blow direction backwards?

[@chummy7294]

Welcome back! 😄 And I think the longer videos are good, given the ASMR nature of them. EDIT: I don't agree with that CPU fan orientation. Rotating it clockwise would make so much more sense.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yey! Thank you very much @spoopyangie ❤️❤️

[@dreizza]

There is a lot about how this was built that I don't agree with. Rear\Top intake, CPU fan going up fighting with the "top" intake then out the side\front. I can "almost" say that cooler master did not orient those fans like that. At the end of the video, it looked like the case was right on top of the wall. Also, the CPU fan couldn't have been on the memory side of the heatsink because it looked like the fan would have been restricted (not fitting) because of the memory. I would do (this is me) front\side intake then exhaust rear\top (heat rises) that way the fan on the heatsink won't have any resistance with expelling heat. I've built a lot of computers and I have never changed the fan orientation on any case.

[@french.satisfactory]

Pretty agree with you guys @spoopyangie and @dreizza about the air flow and this CPU fan. In fact, I was so focused on the video making I didn't even think about this and just did put it back the same orientation it was before I took this PC appart. It is the 2nd video I have many comments about the CPU fan orientation and the airflow. It is something I should take more attention on and I will for the next videos. Thanks a lot guys for your honest comments. They are helping this channel to grow the right way ❤️❤️

Hello. Shouldn't the cpu cooling fan have been put back in such a way that it blows the hot air towards the rear 12cm fan, or would it not have fit because of the rams? (just a comment) by the way precise :)

[@welshe222]

Yeah this is 100% fake. I've cleaned thousands of pc's professionally for years, INCLUDING ones on building sites that sit next to chain smokers and dust all day long and seen way worse but none ever like this, anyone who claims a PC is filthy from chain smoking has never actually been near a chain smokers pc lmao. Its not even remotely like this, even massive dust buildup doesnt look like this, hes purposely spread brand new dirt all over it, notice how when he pulls the cpu cooler that it looks like its 20 years old with all the dirt? and the thermal paste under it is brand spanking new, doesnt even look like it was ever turned on from the thermal paste still having that consistency lmao. And when he turns the motherboard around look at it, its like a brand new motherboard with 0 dust or filth on the backside yet it was a "smokers pc" xDDD

[@VikoRezendeEscritor]

@@VikoRezendeEscritor i worked on a PC that looked like it had been through an apocalypse. Then, when I opened it, it literally had an inch of lint and dust caked on every surface on the inside.

[@Dreadnought33]

I loved this video and I loved the way you worked in that system. It shows that you really know what you're doing. My only "but" would be that I don't agree with the CPU heat sink fan placement, since it will be shoving all the hot CPU heat sink air to the graphics card. Also, the top fan case will be pulling air from that zone. As I mounted many PCs back in the day with that Cooler Master HAF chassis (and even had one myself, what a joy and fond memories that chassis brings back to me), I would install the Scythe heat sink fan to its right side, not on top of it. Nevertheless, you've gained a new subscriber ;).

[@french.satisfactory]

I totally agree with you, and many others who told me that. In fact, I was so focused and tired on making the video itself, I just did put back this fan the way it was before I took this PC appart. But I will work better on the air flow for the next videos. Thanks for your honest comment @Dreadnought33 really appreciate, and welcome on board ❤️❤️

[@DoomTay]

That clear fan came out better than I thought it would. Did the red RAM turn out to be dead or was it just the color clashed?

[@EternalxFrost]

@@french.satisfactory I stumbled a second time on your video, and yes I enjoyed it :) It's always satisfying to see a fucking dirty Pee-Cee getting cleaned up :) But after closer inspection, I noticed that this case differs a bit from mine. It's pretty identical, but yours seems to be an earlier revision than mine. The interior of yours is shiny steel, while mine is all painted black, as well as the outside­. In later revisions of the case, before they released the HAF932 Advanced Blue - which featured fans with blue LEDs all over the case while the normal 932 had only the front 220mm fan with red LED - they painted the whole case black. A slight nuance in the colors, but overall that seems to be the exact same case, which is really different from the HAF X variant.

[@romanwong5785]

I don't understand two things: Why is the CPU fan mounted on top instead of on the right side? This way the warm air is blown towards the GPU. Why aren't the RAM modules and CPU fan installed on the board before the board is built into the case?

[@french.satisfactory]

1: I was so focused on making the video, I just did put back the fan were it was before I took appart this PC. That's not the 1st time I receive comments about the airflow. I will definitely more take care about that part on my next videos. 2: i find it easier as it makes the motherboard lighter 😉 Thanks for your comment @exciterofcentury I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️

You should add two things in this cleaning process. First use ESD protection in your workshop. Second change sticker of fan after oiling them. One more thing that avoid excessive use of thermal paste. It should not reach nearby capacitors or resistors when you put back heatsink.

[@french.satisfactory]

pretty interesting comment. Thanks for that @sn14j77 I add all of this in my improvements bullet points. Thanks for your comment, hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️

[@dilligafzilla]

chain smoker here, is there any way to clean off cig tar or w/e is it off pc case? rubbing it with a wet napkin wont fully remove it and there's still some kind of light colored residue, shower with soap did not help either. will isopropanol work or I should not be using it on a black painted case?

[@french.satisfactory]

Hi @dilligafzilla , unfortunately, isopropanol wil not work so well. I also had this issue with this PC, and wasn't able to completely clean the CD Drive. I try to let a bit of WD40 but I guess it would need to stay a bit more on the affected part before clean it. If you find a good way, I'm interested 😉

[@cardboardsnail]

@@french.satisfactory you can probably try limonene. don't get it onto polystyrene though, or else it will dissolve it. if you don't want to invest in buying bulk container of it, one way to try it out is to get a pack of ArctiClean thermal paste remover. the first part of it that smells like fruit is limonene.

Hey @ryzen_9-3900xt ! Yeah, when I took appart this PC I was waiting for an i7... but didn't have time to order and upgrade it. So let its owner doing this himself 😉 Was nice to read your comment @ryzen_9-3900xt ❤️❤️

i dont know where the computer that you got but im very impressed while no wrorry or not having any electrical issues about to grab the meter and test those circuit boards that discharge or not, you can yolo entirely turn it on in one shot wowww lol

[@french.satisfactory]

Yeah, for the moment I only work on computer I know they worked before I clean them. The most impressive one was for me that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIWygHx6ZrZln5o and its PSU... In fact, I only had an issue with that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGHKqX5sp9J5ntE I will for sure work on computers who can have issues, but I have to find a good video format for that.

[@RAJEEVSARDESAI]

what kinda material you use to clean oxidised metal contacts esp. usb sockets, vga/hdmi/dp ports & ofcourse LAN port? how you clean them? I think this machine came from a flash flood area seeing all those kind of mud. you did a great job ✌✌.

[@UtkuGARIP]

What is the model of the case? I really liked it. 😊

[@french.satisfactory]

It is a pretty cool case for sure. It is the Cooler Master HAF 932. If you want more info, all the specs are available in the video description. Thanks for your comment @UtkuGARIP Hope you enjoyed this video ❤️

[@desmopatrick]

Great Job! Would say CPU Fan and RAM was wrong installed!?

[@french.satisfactory]

Well, the RAM was installed as it needed to 😅 but I agree with he CPU fan. In fact, I was so focused on the video making I just did put back the fan as it was before I took this computer appart. But I will change this before giving it back to its owner. Thanks for your honest comment @desmopatrick I glad to know you enjoyed this video ❤️❤️

[@f0fuchsia742]

Why was the cpu fan put blowing down? If there were clearance issues with the ram I'd understand but it didn't look that way... also, the fact that it's asmr the whole time until the EDM blasting at the end, lol

[@french.satisfactory]

[@french.satisfactory]

Heavy smoker, pets owner, PC on the floor and, I would even add that this PC did smell "magic cigarettes"... Bad combo.😅

[@eloosive]

That looks like my old Digital Storm from years ago. The case was like a tank, it was more of a server case than a game rig. I never did use all the HD bays.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yeah, this case is awesome. a bit old, and maybe a bit overkill for some, but still pretty awesome for a today use. Thanks for your comment @eloosive I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️

[@eloosive]

@@french.satisfactory it was so very satisfying to watch you methodically clean the PC. I have always taken care to clean my own tower at least once a year, so it’s fascinating and a wonder to me how anyone could let their PC become so filthy. I think with today’s modern cases and aesthetically pleasing, visually appealing components, more owners of impeccably specified part builds will absolutely keep their PCs clean. Back then, it wasn’t such a phenomenon to show-off the innards, as they were rarely seen.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yey, I guess more people take care of their computers since we can literally see what's inside, but there is still work to do out there 😅 Thank you very much @eloosive ! Glad to know you enjoyed watching this video ❤️

Totally agree with what you said @PixelPulsePlay247 😅 I was so focused on the video making I didn't think about this and just did put it back the same orientation it was before I took this PC appart. It is the 2nd video I have many comments about the CPU fan orientation and the airflow. It is something I should take more attention on and I will for the next videos.
