I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of your support for this series. I promise that more is on the way! Oh, and did I mention they'd be filthy? I'm also grateful to be quiet! for sponsoring two of our #PCDC videos this season. I don't charge viewers for these cleanings and their support takes the stress out of the process - which is very time-consuming. Cheers!
Opening up a PSU is as easy as taking off a few screw on the side PSU. Take the lid off and do not touch any of the electrical components and cables. Good luck!
@@tweakz_tech That Evga PSU is probably still under warranty, so it was the right choice to replace it. Some brands are placing the tamper stickers on the screws not on the separating edges of the PSU.
I’m in SFL and have started doing this very thing for friends and family... good to see someone close by doing an even better job as it inspires me to up my detailing level.
If there's one thing in particular I appreciate from your PCDC episodes, it's not even the deep cleaning itself (although I thorougly enjoy that as well obviously), it's your awesome choice in music. Please bring it back in season 2! 🎶💜
As an IT Engineer there is nothing more satisfying than cleaning and fixing up an older computer to be useful and happy again. Its one of my ways to relax and relieve stress to do this sort of thing. Amazing work Greg, watched while refurbishing an old laptop :)
Just what I thouhgt, this one deserved a new case more than others, is the typical oem super closed system that obviously, like me in the past, changed the gc (and then the psu because of the lack of power on oem psu) to have more power at gaming. HP of course... mine was acer but my mom had like 5 or 6 systems from HP and they are pretty much like this. New case, air cooler and maybe a similar psu would have been a lot better. And I mean, come on its a really old case XD it even has the ATI logo on it
I recently came across this series that you do and it's truely inspiring. You can tell that a lot of these builds have been loved for a long time but cleaning PCs can be scary for some people. You're truely saving these people a lot of money and giving their PCs a new life while educating people online about how to clean your PC SAFELY! This is the kind of content I've been looking for for ages so thank you for starting this series and keeping with it
Mad respect for using hand screw drivers. Working on computers I always use a good small regular screw driver. A lot of people use battery operated screwdrivers that just get in the way, strip small screws and over tighten everything.
Thank you for always helping people out and cleaning their systems. I'm sure it brings new life to older hardware, especially in the tough times we're all facing. Keep it up my dude.
I don't really care if it's repetitive anymore, I want more of these videos, this is therapy for me too. I'm very very very okay if the same thing happens over and over with the same outcome as long as it's like this lol this is the best channel I've found last year!
Technically you just have to keep it in a good environment. Keep it off the floor, make sure there is good airflow in the room and make sure the pc has a lot of room to breathe.
This is a very nice thing you are doing for everyone. I personally want to say thank you for doing this. I am looking forward to season 2 and beyond. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Same, I just hold the fan blades so they don't spin too fast. I also just pull the battery out of the motherboard and use an old tooth brush and light drizzle of water. Then bake at 200* for 10 minutes or so, you can skip the baking and air dry that sh't over night, or grab the leaf blower again.
This was my favorite episode I think, I like when you don't recase 'em and I think the upgrades to this PC were pretty smart and fit the case well. Season 2 idea maybe deep clean a few laptops? Obviously upgrade paths on them are pretty small (sdd or ram typically) but the benefits from a good deep clean will be far more noticeable in the temperatures.
Seems to clear my mind when I watch pc cleaning videos and I’m very glad you made a series about them. Also, I am in support of a before and after shot of the temperatures, if possible. Excited for more in the future!
When cleaning computers, denim works really well to clean and polish aluminum, steel and other metallic surfaces (like the brushed metal surfaces in this case and on brackets of expansion cards which might be slightly oxidized).
11:32 There are 2 mistakes in this built: 1) SSD connected to slow SATA 3gb/s port, instead of 6gb/s port; 2) RAM is not full dual channel. There are 24GB RAM = 2x8gb in A channel slots + 2x4gb memory sticks in B channel slots. Should be 1x8gb and 1x4gb in A channel slots, 1x8gb and 1x4gb in B channel slots
Greg, this is an awesome series! I cant tell ya how good it feels watching this. I simply can not get enough of it! Its also amazing that you seem to enjoy it! Cant wait for Season 2!
Wow. Great job. That's a pretty dirty HP. But I liked that the owner upgraded his components. Looks pretty good all spived out. What's bad about huge layers of dust is it inhibits cooling. Depending on the content of the dust it can create static or electronic bridges to shorting out.
At some point in my life, I really want to learn the skill of cleaning and disassembling/assembling tech components because this is just so satisfying to do in my life
my pc doesnt look quit like it i try to blow the dust out atleast because im just to damn rought with things so i dont touch it since everythime i tried replacing something i bricked another thing xD but my house is clean af so youre not quit right about that :3
This was damn good cleaning! Loved the series. A small request, can you plz make a video on all the right instruments to use (or you used) for cleaning the PC parts? Thanks.
All of a sudden I have an urge to clean my case. But I already did it yesterday! Nothing more satisfying than seeing temps drop even 10°C (on GPU) and TBH it wasn't even that dusty!
Gosh, this is the most pleasing video to watch...! Excellent job! I love the attention in detail you have! I honestly appreciate your work! This is something I help my friends to do from times to times as well. :)
I started to watch the series today and i already finished season 1! Loved every single episode so far so i'll start watching season 2 now, lol. Great work
Shout out from Kalispell Montana I Have been watching the channel now for a few week's and have come to enjoy it a lot. I'm a pc builder myself and cleaning pc tower's found using air compressor set at 100 psi works wonders The dust here is just so bad due to the dry climate. Anything metal use dawn on it and the blue shop towels as well. Recent pc build Ryzen 2600x Master Air MA612 Stealth ARGB Cooler MSI Tomahawk B450 anidees AI Crystal XL PRO RGB Full Tower Tempered Glass XL-ATX/E-ATX/ATX Gaming Case. Memory went with the rgb version of Corsair 3200 Vengeance. .Due to the gpu price gouging had to use what was on hand XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition. Monitor is 27 inch acer Led. Games run 60+FPS on 1080p resolution .SSD Samsung 500 gig and 1 terabyte HDD for storage. Know not a power house rig but it was built on a budget and performance turned out better than expected.
Greg, I understand the question of not messing with the system, but you could at least optimize the order of the SATA cables. You left the SSD on a SATA3 port and an HD on a SATA6 port. Congratulations on your work and a big hello from Brazil.
When I take power supplies apart, before removing them from their cases, I push on the power button multiple times to drain all the capacitors, including those on the other hardware. Food for thought.
Yea, when he said that it rubbed a nerve, throwing out a PSU because its internals got too dirty to remove with just air is ridiculous, at the very least he could've said just take it someone who knows what they are doing to get it cleaned.
Greg... my guy. It looks like you found your calling - I could see this being a series for a long time coming. The products you advertise, the products you use, the solid product into - dude - you have a seriously dope series on your hands.
This was oddly satisfying to watch..if not posting the temperature differences then atleast you can post both the dirty & cleaned system in one frame at the end for a visual satisfaction. Anyways, Nice work bro..u r really a boss at cleaning.😊😊
Seeing this PC sent my anxiety through the roof! I have mild OCD when it comes to dust cause I Have a nice PC and I collect statues and 1/6 scale figures and Dust is the ABSOLUTE ENEMY. Enjoy this series keep it up
One thing I do with tue cpu fan is unplug it before passing air into it. As it will generate electricity pushing air through the fan and it could push higher voltage popping something on you board...if you spin that fan on a dead board...you will see it will flow power back into the board.
Anyone else notice at the end during the boot select screen, that the Hitachi HDD was plugged into a Sata 6Gb port while the Samsung SSD was plugged into a Sata 3Gb port?
Temp diff can be huge 10 degrees or more. However most of the system you clean aren't that dirty and don't have dust build up in the critical areas that will affect temps. Failing fans and dried out contact cement will matter more. I wouldn't pull the system apart to clean unless I saw a temp issue, I just do a simple routine clean once a year, my machines don't get that dirty. However I would always run a full suite of tests before and after, a post tells you so little.
Oh surprise! There was a PC underneath that dust dune! Regarding the power, I use compressed air for elements like this, even notebooks that have many years of use (and disarming it could end up with bad weld problems)
I got the XPower A2 electric air duster and that thing is a beast for half the cost of the one he’s using. It’s equivalent to a leaf blower but handheld. Just thought I’d throw it out 💪
Never knew you were from the central Florida area. That is really cool considering I moved to Orlando about 2 years ago. Id have you do something with my pc but sadly mine isn't that dirty or needing much done to it. Love all the amazing videos you put out.

Dear God that was scary when you came in with that case lol
its so satisfying
Greg, you're now the PC cleaning guy. You now have a unique niche, lol
What was the gpu
Using that PSU is like putting an NBA star into a middle school ball team.
Opening up a PSU is as easy as taking off a few screw on the side PSU. Take the lid off and do not touch any of the electrical components and cables. Good luck!
@@tweakz_tech That Evga PSU is probably still under warranty, so it was the right choice to replace it. Some brands are placing the tamper stickers on the screws not on the separating edges of the PSU.
hey it was probably free for both of them, no1 complaining
Hahah
Including that AIO 😅
Watching this series has been so relaxing and such a nice to wind the day down! Love it!
The leaf blower alone returned it from "Urgh!" to "passable"
why would you make pirate noises to a dirty pc? XD
I’m in SFL and have started doing this very thing for friends and family... good to see someone close by doing an even better job as it inspires me to up my detailing level.
Oh hot damn! That is one dirty ass system! Awesome series by the way, love seeing these PCs get a deep clean. :D P.S You are a boss at PC cleaning.
Can you do a similar series? Lol
Hi
As a bonus, they all seem to have more than 1 stick of ram
Tech Yes City would like to have a word with you, Dawid
(Edit) Not gonna lie though, Greg is still really good too.
@@Kris451 Oh for sure, Brian can also clean the crap out of a system. 😁

That INSANE PSU in such an old case is quite the contrast XD
Sleeper pc best pc
It's beautiful.
As an IT Engineer there is nothing more satisfying than cleaning and fixing up an older computer to be useful and happy again.
Its one of my ways to relax and relieve stress to do this sort of thing.
Amazing work Greg, watched while refurbishing an old laptop :)
this one definitely deserved a case upgrade compared to other ppl who got it.
Main reason it was so dusty. There's no air flow.
Agree
Just what I thouhgt, this one deserved a new case more than others, is the typical oem super closed system that obviously, like me in the past, changed the gc (and then the psu because of the lack of power on oem psu) to have more power at gaming.

Agreed. That case deserved the scrapyard..
Its a 2700. He should be upgrading soon ngl
Really appreciate this series. Been watching for a while, and I love that this is happening!
those psu more expensives then the whole rig combine haha
Basically gives you like 15 years without needing to buy a psu
I was going to write the same. Haha,
than*
Those PSU cables pushing the GPU down and bending it, is crushing my heart.
Glad you went with a more relaxing song, it really enhances the experience and relaxation of watching a deep clean video.
This series has inspired to give my own pc a deep cleaning. I’ve only been using for a few months though, so it isn’t too dirty.
It definitely is making me take great care of my psu.
I recently came across this series that you do and it's truely inspiring. You can tell that a lot of these builds have been loved for a long time but cleaning PCs can be scary for some people.

I jumped from watching pimp my ride during my teenage years to this beauty as a young adult, great videos!!!!
Mad respect for using hand screw drivers. Working on computers I always use a good small regular screw driver.
A lot of people use battery operated screwdrivers that just get in the way, strip small screws and over tighten everything.
As someone from St. Pete, I never realized anyone lived in Orlando except for people who work at Universal and Disney tbh
I agree haha
Lol same
😂 Tampa 📍
Greg is out here doing the lords work
Thank you for always helping people out and cleaning their systems. I'm sure it brings new life to older hardware, especially in the tough times we're all facing. Keep it up my dude.
So satisfying. Clean my systems twice a year. Have been doing so since I got my first PC - a 386 back in the early 90s.
I find these videos so cathartic. I feel so much better after watching this.
This is like the nerd version of Dr. Pimple Popper 😄
I don't really care if it's repetitive anymore, I want more of these videos, this is therapy for me too. I'm very very very okay if the same thing happens over and over with the same outcome as long as it's like this lol this is the best channel I've found last year!
this series reminded me that yes, i do need to clean my pc
Technically you just have to keep it in a good environment. Keep it off the floor, make sure there is good airflow in the room and make sure the pc has a lot of room to breathe.
For someone reason i have always been the guy of cleaning Pcs! Simply Love it from OS clean to Physically cleaning it!
Finally! Good way to start the weekend
This is a very nice thing you are doing for everyone. I personally want to say thank you for doing this. I am looking forward to season 2 and beyond. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Glad to see the Carey Holzman method of dusting!
Right? Ever since I saw Carey do that and prove it doesn't cause damage, I have been regularly blowing out my cases that way. Super efficient!
Same, I just hold the fan blades so they don't spin too fast. I also just pull the battery out of the motherboard and use an old tooth brush and light drizzle of water. Then bake at 200* for 10 minutes or so, you can skip the baking and air dry that sh't over night, or grab the leaf blower again.
When i saw the thumbnail, i thought of Carey
This was my favorite episode I think, I like when you don't recase 'em and I think the upgrades to this PC were pretty smart and fit the case well.
Season 2 idea maybe deep clean a few laptops? Obviously upgrade paths on them are pretty small (sdd or ram typically) but the benefits from a good deep clean will be far more noticeable in the temperatures.
This has to be one of the best series I’ve ever watched. I’m extremely ocd and this is so relaxing to me. Keep it up fam. Lovin it!
i love this series

Great series! That was so dirty 🤣. Don't forget to put the SSD on the 6g sata
So satisfying and therapeutic to watch these. Thanks! :)
When cleaning computers, denim works really well to clean and polish aluminum, steel and other metallic surfaces (like the brushed metal surfaces in this case and on brackets of expansion cards which might be slightly oxidized).
0:50 "Plenty of breathing room..." I see what you did there. I can't even breathe just looking at that mess!
I love seeing the retro cases, I have been building computers for about 30+ years. This brings me back to the first 386DX computer I built.
That blower did an amazing job on its own! Great series and I’m watching some of these episodes again. Great work Greg 🥰👍🥳 cheers from Australia 🍻
Awesome! Thank you!

That's dirt cake with little computer hardware sparkled on! LOL
Sneeze and the 'parts' collapse :) lol
I really enjoy this series. Hope you continue this and help other people with their dirty PC.
Greg, this is an awesome series! I cant tell ya how good it feels watching this. I simply can not get enough of it! Its also amazing that you seem to enjoy it! Cant wait for Season 2!
06:49 I thought you were pulling a dead squirrel out by it's tail for a moment.
So satisfying to watch him clean and do some upgrades
Would love to see the specs of the PCs in s2!
Me: How many Q-Tips do you need?
Greg: Yes
Season 2 YAY 😍
Wow. Great job. That's a pretty dirty HP. But I liked that the owner upgraded his components. Looks pretty good all spived out. What's bad about huge layers of dust is it inhibits cooling. Depending on the content of the dust it can create static or electronic bridges to shorting out.
Straight up used a leaf blower! now that is a first. Amazing work as usual!
look up carey holzman
At some point in my life, I really want to learn the skill of cleaning and disassembling/assembling tech components because this is just so satisfying to do in my life
If someone's PC look like that, I cant imagine what the house or car looks like.
my pc doesnt look quit like it i try to blow the dust out atleast because im just to damn rought with things so i dont touch it since everythime i tried replacing something i bricked another thing xD but my house is clean af so youre not quit right about that :3
This was damn good cleaning! Loved the series. A small request, can you plz make a video on all the right instruments to use (or you used) for cleaning the PC parts? Thanks.
You’ve gotta start listing the viewers specs in the description I’m always curious what the specs are ...
Good grief most people stop after the leaf blower part.. you cleaned it like you are sending it to the international space station! Great work!
I recently built my first pc, and damn, I didn’t realize how quick they collect dust.
Positive air pressure and good filters will save you.
All of a sudden I have an urge to clean my case. But I already did it yesterday! Nothing more satisfying than seeing temps drop even 10°C (on GPU) and TBH it wasn't even that dusty!
1:58 10 Year warranty, very hard to find in this industry
Seasonic: Am i a joke to you ?
even the 80 bucks corsair RM550x has 10 years warranty lol
@@robinkonig5828 Most PSUs do _not_ have ten year warranties - hence why I said what I said. Always easy to point out the exceptions :-)
this series reminds me of those car detailing channels. This is just so satisfying to see a dirty PC restored to looking like new
Pauses video. Goes to make a cup of coffee. Be right back! :) Edit: That PSU is probably worth more than the entire system.
Gosh, this is the most pleasing video to watch...! Excellent job! I love the attention in detail you have! I honestly appreciate your work! This is something I help my friends to do from times to times as well. :)
This is super satisfying. Smoking is bad
Hello it's you again
Second?

See most would have just called it a day after using the leaf blower on it.

just a little tip ... block fans from spinning when using blower ;)
What a great way to mix up your content in these trying times. Props.

Definitely a cool series! I would have never imagined enjoying watching such a series but here we are 😄
Random yt recommendation i thank you . It's so satisfying
glad im not the only one that sees a system and just wants to clean it, also that im not the only person using leaf blowers to clean some of them out.
Temp diff can be huge 10 degrees or more. However most of the system you clean aren't that dirty and don't have dust build up in the critical areas that will affect temps. Failing fans and dried out contact cement will matter more. I wouldn't pull the system apart to clean unless I saw a temp issue, I just do a simple routine clean once a year, my machines don't get that dirty.
However I would always run a full suite of tests before and after, a post tells you so little.
Finished watching s1 already, i dont even own a pc yet i find these videos very satisfying.
such a satisfying video now that is cleaning . Looks brand new.
These videos are straight up ASMR. They’re so soothing Yeah, I’m weird. I love this stuff!
just blowing out the case with everything still in made one heck of a difference.
THIS IS AMAZING. I LOVE THIS SERIES
Oh surprise! There was a PC underneath that dust dune!
Regarding the power, I use compressed air for elements like this, even notebooks that have many years of use (and disarming it could end up with bad weld problems)
I almost sneezed just by looking at this case before you started cleaning it. Good job!
just finished binge watching season one. just found this channel today
make sure when you use the leaf blower, you don't overspin the blades or it could send an electrical charge back into the motor and fry it.
Man this was so satisfying to look at, this poor dusty guy... Great job! 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh big, I do the cleaning with compressed air, there is no need to even dismantle the coolers, it's so efficient.
Poor me , just happy to see this types of pc . Thanks for uploading ❤️
now this is a new genre in pc community.. a deep cleaning pc its like asmr to me
I got the XPower A2 electric air duster and that thing is a beast for half the cost of the one he’s using. It’s equivalent to a leaf blower but handheld. Just thought I’d throw it out 💪
