Juz got myself a pretty good rig,a few month ago.
And overclocked it quite far.
After a few weeks,i found that there r alot of DUST trapped inside my casing.And caused my proc n Gc cant exhaust the heat perfectly.
i hate to clean it monthly(not an easy job>.<)

So i would like to ask,how did u guys deal with the DUST problem?
Any product u guys can recommend for me?like fan dust filter,dust cover....
i wouldnt mind to mod my casing
Juz hoping to extend my casing dust free period

Thx in advance for all sifus help

what casing you used?

CM690

bro..just relax...i'm also using CM690..not so dusty lor...can you take the picture for it?

WC la bro
no need fan anymore

Actually i found some way to keep the casing dust free.

WC...sound Costy for me

hahaha
i think people use the cover when pc off....

ya i know,CM690 look alot better if cover less
but if putting on a cute cover can save my work,i wouldnt mind the appearance too much,i more into the pc performance

and the cute cover i showed juz now, i think it can still let air flow in and out(means not solid,still got many tiny holes on it )

you mean buy online from youtube ke?? aiyarkk... o.o

no la..you can pm 5w33

i bought something like that it's call 'slot cleaner'..1 packet rm10..i bought 3 packet from him...

if stock pc i think no prob
but u oc'ed urs so it will effect ur pc airflow....means less intake air to cool ur hardwares

pc fair also got sell that yellow thing o

that one i dont know...because why?i not like PC Fair...nothing have at PC Fair...just have stupid thing like pendrive,printer etc not me like it...

between vacuum cleaner and blower,which one is the effective one?

to ts,use vacuum could oso help u a lil bit....i practice same way oso.

what i know...vacuum cleaner will generate electrostatic then can damaged your stuffs inside there...

my usb vacuum can clear 80% of dust inside my cpu...
but the real problem is the gap between the Fin shaped CPU heatsink,always fulled of dust cake,and hard to clear

You can try buying those air pump people use to clean their camera lens. But I don't know if it can generate enough pressure/force to blow out dust deep inside the fins.

Best opinion is to get compress air cans. You can buy them from ACE hardware stores.

use fan filter~~ the best XD

get this filter from uglyvamp

I think i will get some of these

i'm using same casing as urs
for me, i just run my pc for 3months long.
after 3months, i bring the whole pc to wash. =]
motherboard, ram, draphic card, psu all i giv it a wash =] as long as u DRY IT PROPERLY then its still alive =] (dry arround 3-5 days)
*HDD cant be washed

I think using blower is way better than vacuum cleaner...But that's hard to get blower, mayb hair drier with the lowest temp?

Yeah..Water Cooling certainly will greatly reduce the dust in ur casing.
By the way, you can always use dust cover but there is no way 100% to avoid dust if you are using air cooling

just clean ur god damn room. I'm a construction worker. u dun wanna see my work place pc.

R u kidding?

Nope, it's not kidding anyway...U can do in that way, but juz have to make sure ur hardwares are completely dry before install and switch on...

Thx for the info,but sound too risky for me.
Somemore 3-5days of waiting will gonna kill me.

Found a quite good stuff juz now.

Haha...Me too, i cant live without computer for more than 2 days...
Luckliy, i still can use my laptop if im going to wash my desktop...

Doesn't electric vacuum / blower create static?

ya,but i used to do my practical training in a computer shop...
but u know wat?before we start working inside the casing,we will simply use the 240V big ass vacuum to clean it up 1st...all of it(proc,gpu,ram...)
and so far nothing really ROSAK la,i think they can withstand a certain level of static charge la

juz dun touch ur rig,right after u get off from ur motorbike

i dun think that amount of static is able to destroy the hardware.... nowadays, the parts is build to last...

yes, u can wash ur mobo, but u must dry it before using it
n take out the battery before washing
do it at u own risk, dont blame me if u not success

this is my old mobo gigabyte 915 chipset, died 2 years ago,
after washing it, it look like new



powering up,

still using it till now

died still can power up o.O ?

he he! yeah still alive.

anyway i done that too. after take use hair dryer then put on aircon room,, overnight then install back.

final word are same "do it at u own risk"

so risky job there...

electronic wouldnt die in water...
only electronic with current/electricity will short circuit in water.

make sure no electric source ever when dipping in water. (battery rams all need to goes)
and make sure it dries totaly before plugh it in.

sames goes with mobile phone... but make sure get the two battery out 1st....

well as above mention... do it at ur own risk...
why need to risk it by dipping it into watter and void all the warrenty?

I think should be OK..because nowadays all pcb is equip with water proof capability

the water proof is not really true... sholdering still exposed... that y the extreme overclockers need to insulate their mobo

That's not waterproof actually, but only water resistant...U still cant immerse it into water...
