  • In this video we show you how to clean and blow out your desktop computer. If you've never done this before be prepared for a lot of dust.
    Over time computers build up a lot of dust, lint, and other particles that build up on the inside of your machine and in some cases can cause your fans to stop working. This is BAD!
    Watch this video to see what you need to do to clean out the inside of your desktop computer. Make sure you have a microfiber towel and a can of compressed air available.

    Thank you, Good info. I never knew you were not supposed to let the fan spin. Is there any part of the computer you're not supposed to hit with the air? I like the short intro and just good, strait to the point information and easy to understand. Thank you.

      Smelly BigFoot - Minecraft & More! There's not much you can do wrong. Unplug the the power cable, press the on/off button a few times to make sure there isn't any static left in the power supply and than blow that dust out. Just make sure to prevent the fans from spinning very fast when blowing the dust out of them, just as he said.

  • @ThomasLe
    @ThomasLe 6 років тому +76

    Advisable to do this OUTSIDE. Also with the compressed air you dont want to shake it or spray at an angle. Optimum is the straw level to the ground. It sprays a liquid if you do it other wise and can harm the components.

    • @Soulrollsdeep
      @Soulrollsdeep 4 роки тому +3

      No it can't, you could pour water all over your PC and it'll do asolutely nothing, AS LONG as it's not plugged in or has any residual current running through it - and obviously let it dry before plugging in. Same with any and every electrical component.

    my experience is the canned air stirs up the dust and it's handy to have the vacuum right there too to suck in the dust. What good does it do to scatter the dust without getting it out? I say the vacuum right there to pull out the dust works for me.
