How do you deal with computer dust?
not like that

tell me your secrets
minus the hydrogen
One of these things

I run a high quality HEPA air filter in my room constantly so that I have no dust issues
i carry my desktop to work shed, secure the fans, and blow the piss out of it with an air compressor.

>Wasting money on something that can't clean 100% of the dust
Kids please, this site is 18+, learn to take your computer appart and properly clean it, replacing thermal paste too.
>>53540050
do you replace thermal paste on stuff like GPU and other heatsink'd items on the mobo?
>>53540074
Of course, that's what I said.
GPU and CPU.
>>53540050
>implying I don't work on my car either
Air tools are GOAT
>>53540195
they are good for inflating tires too
>>53540195
Vacuum cleaner on cars yeah, they are good, but you can only properly clean a laptop with a brush and some liquid for plastic and electronics.
>>53540245
That wasn't a vacuum cleaner. It was an air compressor.
>>53540221
Hell yeah they are, but those tiny little portable pumps are still useful away from home
>>53540245
>Vacuum cleaner
Have you never left your mom's basement?
>>53540195
can't blowing high pressure air directly at sensitive electronics such as a motherboard damage them?
>>53540321
potentially but its extremely unlikely
>>53540004
>Kids please, this site is 18+, learn to take your computer appart and properly clean it, replacing thermal paste too.
Are you a mental midget? I have an air compressor in my garage for other reason than to clean my pc. I know your faggot McDonald job prevent you from owning a home, but stop being so salty.
>>53540321
You just need to add a water trap to the line, it's like $5
>>53540321
Every form of contact and cleaning can, mineral oil bath, brushing, hell, placing in a new component.
Everything can, if its not done right.
But generally compressed air is the fastest and safest way.

Pro-tip: you can select what you want to quote and then click the post number for the site to automagically paste it into the quick reply box with a meme arrow added and everything
>>53540098
what about other items on the motherboard that have heatsinks?
>>53540453
They have thermal pads, you can change them if you want, but those don't produce that much heat unless you overclock.
>>53540382
>>53540321
>>53540364
Just make sure to unplug the fans 'cause they'll spin like crazy and that might put some charge into the motherboard
>>53540321
I do it 2 times a year with a pretty big air compressor. Nothing bad has happened.

Would that be okay if the type of water used is distilled water and then allowed to completely dry?
>>53540666
It's a fucking garden hose in a shower
>>53540391
I just did, dingleberry. I choose all of the nonsense to quote from. Meme arrows? lol It's called greentext, dumbass.
>>53540720
I was pointing out how you quoted the wrong person
>>53540752
I think you're the one who is confused. Look again at what I was quoting from.
>>53540814
Okay?
>>53540711
Wow! What an astute observation!
If I have a new, working motherboard and I wash it with water while it's powered off with 0 electricity in it and let it dry completely, why would it break? Because dust and corrosion? Would it break?
What if I put water on it and then wiped it off and cleaned it with alcohol, waited a bit for the alcohol to clear and then tried? Would it work?
Why not if it wouldnt?
>>53541098
It will work if you use distilled water. Ions are bad, see?
>>53541142
What should I search up to learn more about this? I'm good with programman but don't start CE until August and don't know more than A+ coursework.
Why is ionized water bad for circuit boards? Idekbruhfam
>>53541211
Ions conduct electricity. Did you drop out of grade school?
>>53541211
>>53541211
>Why is ionized water bad for circuit boards?
I'm guessing you have no idea how/why electricity works and also never took a real physics or chemistry course
>>53541250
But the motherboard has no electricity and I cleaned it off with alcohol thoroughly. This is part of my question
>>53541276
Never took chemistry unfortunately. Had a bad draw of the card during high school and had to take mostly remedial courses. Physics was shoehorned on me in freshmen year so most of it wasn't retained.
Still got accepted to college top 30 in the nation for CE. Just gotta relearn some stuff and learn some new stuff. Not too bad.
I don't, my PC does.
>>53541358
>what are capacitors
>>53541398
They can be discharged effectively. Can they not? What about on a new motherboard?
Air compressor.
>>53539919
HEPA filters space-taped over the fans/vents
I gonna huff and puff and blow your house down
>>53540500
I think you might be retarded son.
How many PSI's can ristrators and compasitors bear before they blow off the motherboard?
>>53539982
remove your skin
>>53539919
I unplugged all the case fans
>>53543160
worked. this thing was like an air purifier
>>53541358
but what do you get paid NOW? that's important, no one gives a shit that you are beginning something for college, like it matters anyways
>>53543160

>>53543283
enjoy your fucked up fan bearings
>>53543310
Nothing a piece of tape on each can't stop the air pressure from ruining the bearings
Aren't intake filters like, standard by now?
>>53540050
I was thinking about this
sweep all the boogers, food and dried cum off the keyboard too
Put it in my Car
Go to a Gas Station
Use the Wheel pump to clean the dust
I use a datavac
>>53540500
just hold em when you clen em... retard
its like the first thing what you learn about PC a bit higher airpresure and you have plastic and shit flaying around
My case came with magnetic filters for the intake which keeps most of the dust out. Not sure what the big deal is.
>>53544576
My case does too but I'm too lazy to clean it every week or whatever and it gets dusty as fuck in there.
>>53539919
i think i'm stupid for wasting money on these, even on clearance
but borrowing my dad's air compressor is too much of a hassle
>>53540500
>Just make sure to unplug the fans 'cause they'll spin like crazy and that might put some charge into the motherboard
this sounds retarded but it just might be true
huh
>>53541098
tap water has more than water and when it dries up, it'll have a residue that'll conduct electricty (depending on your tap water quality)
Any cheap air compressor that's electic powered?
>>53541358
What do you think will happen when the water dries up? That's right, the salts will not evaporate, and they will short your mobo unless you clean it with a non conductive solution.
Which reminds me, it might also make your components oxidise.
>>53539919
positive pressure master race here.
Never any dust inside, just need to clean my filters a couple of times each year.
>>53540391
>Pro-tip
But you're not even a pro. How can retarded people think they are Pros and so claim their tip is even on Pro quality.
I smell a lie from the unemployed.
>>53539919
Oompa loompas
>>53544992
im always so delighted teaching friends this
they really think its quantum physics
while ( sed_rate < acceptable_limits )
{};
I used to do it with a vacuum cleaner and I never broke anything.
>>53540032
Most dust parties are dead skin cells so stop bullshitting, cunt.
>tfw both times i vacuumed my computer it fucked up a memory stick
Clean my filters every once in a while.
>>53540004
Yar take it outside on a chair and give it a good blow job
Who here /dust brush/
>>53546101
neato ive only used a paintbrush
>>53545105
>>53545130
my friend's relative was crazy OCD and would vacuum fucking everything, vacuumed his computer while it was on and fried the mobo
>>53540666
if it's distilled water i think you wouldn't even need to dry it
i guess that it would probably pick up dust and shit from the mainboard and that could make the water conductive again
>>53539919
I get your mom to suck it off
>>53543128

Go spend your money on overclockable life proof BRUSH fag.
this, and this mini shop vac
with these attachments
>>53540500
no they wont
they might create a small charge but it wont fuck anything
also you should hold them anyways because spinning too fast will fuck the bearings
1-2 times a year
>>53539919
buy a good case
>>53539982
positive pressure
Would a car air filter work well? I found one that's the perfect size to fit my fans
>>53539919
My dirt devil has a hose and a set of tips for blowing up air mattresses, I use the exhaust from the vacuum to blast all the dust out and then vacuum it all up
>>53539919
positive air pressure and filters.
