Completely took apart my computer and cleaned all the dust out. It's now 10 degrees Celsius cooler on idle and 15 under load. Why haven't you done this?

When using canned air sometimes the surface I'm spraying gets a little wet, I can't see how its safe to use that shit on computer parts.
>>
Every month I disassemble my tower and I also restore my SSD OS partitions from an image that I keep on one of my HDDs.

Am I the only one who does this?
>>
>>52107962
You're supposed to keep the can upright and sufficiently far away from whatever you're spraying. I've only had propellant liquid on surfaces when I'm doing it intentionally, like when I tried to fix a dent on my car. Generally you have to turn the can upside down. The liquid should evaporate quickly at room temp though, so if you do get a little on a PCB or something then it should be evaporated by the time you get your case panel back on. Also, the liquid isn't water obviously, it's usually something like tetrafluoroethane and I don't think that's electrically conductive. I wouldn't directly experiment on a $300 CPU though.

It still comes out with the can upright sometimes. Could just be condensation I suppose.

>>52101026
theres 2 inches of frozen rain outside my house right now

not like, 2 inches of rain but a solid 2 inch layer of slushy/hard mixture

Because I'm not autistic and I use filters on all my intakes.

Trapping the heat inside your computer won't make your room any hotter, Jesus Christ.

A friendly word of advice. Never buy a computer from a bird owner.Absolutely disgusting.

To add to this, your computer consumes the same amount of power (ignoring heat throttling) therefore dissipates the same amount of heat. The only difference is if you don't have proper cooling, the heat won't be dissipated outside of the case as quickly, therefore your room would take longer to heat up than if you used proper cooling.
