    This cleaning/dusting is something that needs to be done several times over the life of a PC. I recommend to get a set of ESD safe brushes and use them to loosen up the dust before blowing it out of your PC with compressed air or w duster. It helps with the stubborn dust that can get stuck in filters, fans, heatsink fins, and nooks and crannies
    I also recommend never to go anywhere near your components with a vacuum cleaner as they can cause static damage

      @@ChaivreMaurteFor most home PCs blowing out the dust a every few months is more than enough. If you have pets or live in a dusty environment you may need to clean it more often. Most people typically don’t need a major take apart clean more often than once or twice a year.

    One thing i was always told and have always done was. After powering it down. Switch off. Unplug. Push the power up button to get rid of any left over power in the system. Not sure if its true or not but just have always taken that extra step.i have actually gotten the power button led light up while unplugged and switched off

    To make your case stay clean for longer, make sure your case fans are setup in a positive pressure configuration to minimize dust buildup in the case. To accomplish this, have more fans drawing air in than exhausting air, and have the intake fans covered with a filter. This way, any places that aren't covered with a filter will be blowing air out rather than sucking air (and thus dust) in. The filters will catch the dust before it has a chance to get into the case. Remove the filters and vacuum them monthly for best results.

      But this is at the cost of your pc becoming potentially hotter, right? Since the fans don’t blow out the air inside the case

      Mine is awesome. I'm not a pc guy by any means. so take my opinion at that, but I play Ready or Not, Fallout, Skyrim, and have even ran VR games. Re4 Remake... you get it. For someone who wanted a prebuilt PC that plays modern games, mine as been awesome.

      Also, if you have a CPU with pins on it (AMD CPUs before 7000 series are most common), twist the cooler back and forth to break the seal. Don't use a lot of force when doing this, as you don't want to shear any pins off by accident!

    • @slayridah
      @slayridah 3 роки тому +1

      You thought a tech UA-camrs vid would actually be helpful for the inexperienced? Lol they are all useless and are very mis informative. First of all you never use compressed air and blow moisture into your PC, this can destroy your PC. yes hold fans still, again, this guy didn't say that even though it's VERY important. dont do a motor compressor either as these can build up moisture. Don't wipe with a cloth either as i believe that can build up static as well unless there's a way to ground yourself, i just dont know too much about static electricity.
      Now what i DO recommend is getting a blowing or sucking vacuum that is designed for PC's that don't build up moisture or static. also get some PC cleaning brushes designed not to get static in your pc when brushing if there is any dust the PC safe vacuum won't knock loose. i don't know specific brands but just type those keywords into google and I'm sure you'll find something on Amazon or something for those products. I don't know if there even is another way to clean it without risking damaging the PC!
      Thats all i know so far as I'm still learning myself but I'm more helpful than the UA-camrs

    I have a question. So, last night, I replaced my keyboard with my dad. We took out the rivvits, and we found out that they are plastic. Instead of using them, we decided to use tape to hold the keyboard on the plate. After putting it back together, my computer won't turn on. I felt something warm, but I don't know what it is. Whether it's the motherboard, or something else. My question is, does tape harm internal components? I'm curious. I'm letting it sit overnight, and I'm going to try to turn it on this morning. If it doesn't work, I may need to call you break I fix. Honestly, I don't think we did anything wrong, because the last time we opened it and hooked the keyboard back up, it worked just fine. And it even worked before I shut it down to replace the keyboard. If you have any answers, feel free to reply. Thank you!
