ok lets start it here..

i have a very dusty PC and decided to get CAC to blow away the dusts..

is it OK for me to do that on the electrical components?

i also plan to blow it through the holes in the PSU.. i was wondering whether will it affect the components..

i used Ambersil CAC, bought from ACE hardware. i've been using it for quite sometimes & no prob so far...

how long does it last?? per Can

last only for two cycle

i went ACE hardware and asked for compressed air. summit usj and sunway pyramid. they say don have. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i saw it at ikano acehardware and midvalley acehardware. RM42.90 or RM45.00 per can if i remember correctly.

whats the difference of using compressed air can & case fans

both have air passes through

& here i thought, that it will have such an effect on the electrical components!

lol

ok, so ur psu got a fan in it right

sucking air, letting air passes through

so whats the difference if u blow it using the compress air can?

c'mon, guess guess guess

yes, thats correct, its the same

(so ur line should be: "geee, why didnt i think of that b4")

now will it effect the components?

(ur next line: "oh my, it will not, how dumb am i")

saw the can at midvalley but for RM50 !!!!

I just use vacuum cleaner + small brush.

The jet from the compressed air can is much stronger than the fan. That's why it can push out the dust. Some people say that it might push dust bunnies into inaccessible places. Possibly causing a short. But I don't think it's any more likely than any other method of cleaning.

oh im dumb then?

i heard people saying that the CAC when u spray there's water.. or moist or watever i dont know..

http://images.google.com.my/imglanding?q=c...MIMjdVM&start=4

the air in the can is compressed, when you spray it decompress, and cools down. The lower temperature causes moisture in the air to precipitate out.

i saw it at LYP (all it) , they sell it for RM23 each.

All It in Digital Mall got sell it for RM 20++

so that mean All it in digital mall cheaper than all it in LYP?

just ignore him .. BTW ts, i already used air compressed can since 2004.
and some advice, dont spray it on ur skin, ur skin will red and pain because the air output is very cold.
and if u want to spray at electronic component, spray it with proper distance, dont to close to a subject (u will see something like ice on ur electronic component) .

if you're on tight budget, maybe you can get a mini squeezer. it's a rubber bulb with a small openings at the end. Most people use it to clean their DSLR, but note that it's not as powerful as compressed air

Bought Ambersil Air Duster RM52+ at ACE Ikano. I still remember it was just around RM39+ last time. I didnt know that they have just increased the price.

used a few cans before.. imo not worth it.. unless u cant get your brush to clean those hard to reach places.. than yea.

1 can near RM 50 , if u use a lot .
Why u guys dun go to buy a air compressed ?

bawak je pegi kedai moto.. pinjam air compressor kat sane.. abis citer.. kos pon jimat.. dalam RM10 kos minyak kereta je..

Just go to ur car wash and use their air blower (compressed air)

kat low yat ade.....dalam Rm20.00++ camtu
tingkat 4...luper name kedai

Just use those gardening water hand pump, which works like a water gun, and just pump air in without filling in water, and u get urself a air pump.
It doesnt as strong as cac but it sure strong enough to blow dust away.

any seller in lyn selling this thing?my mobo,gc,sc,cooler all dusty edi.

cannot post bro...

also with compressed air. Do NOT shake can and always spray upright position.

I saw a hardware shop got sell, at this BU Centrepoint. Also about Rm50 per can, I think its called Ambersil or something like that.

Everyone is talking about getting aircomp in KL area..
Just wondering does anyone know where I can get this in Sungai Petani or Penang area? Been looking for ages and didn't found it anywhere..still looking around though.

jln pasar also got
shorted a laptop coz it spurted water n trs on...silly me

so,a lesson learned

wah 3 years ago.. and got BD player inside already?? amazing

go to car wash or bicycle shop and use their air blower (compressed air),but must let it dry 1st be switch on ur pc after u use the air compressor

hi all any cheaper alternative to compress air?
wan to clear the dust in my laptop??

An airbrush paint mini compressor is just around RM 280 to RM 350. IMHO it's worth it . Uncle Google might tell you where to buy in Malaysia

last time i bought from All IT ss14 rm25 per can but cant remember the brand..

i already see that at TAMIYA SHOP AT MELAKA...

When I do my cleaning. 1 hair dryer and 1 paint brush will do. The hair dryer is the good 1 like those saloon used, with high air blower. Around rm150 from saloon shop, it worth that I can blow my hair and my pc components.

Ah, fancy seeing this old topic up here.
I just bought an industrial grade air compressor for the purpose of PC cleaning, been wanting to get it for quite some time. Really syiok woo...
Come to my house if you wanna use it, just for RM5.

The sound when the motor starts pumping air is deafening though..

Hi, any idea where to get this compressed air can in Penang? Really need it.

I think Thye Huat got sell it

how much for mini air compressor?

can get it under rm200?

i just use bicycle pump/foot pump..get my friend to pump while i direct the hose..a bit slow but gets the job done at no cost..(ok maybe a bit of cost..need to belanja my friend minum..penat dia pump)

can i use CAC to blow my iphone as well? I need to clean the dust which stuck beneath the home button. Will the dust trap even deeper inside the iphone? sorry i know is wrong place but just want to know.

If RM 500 , sure can get it . RM 200 really hard to get it .

Can get a list of places where to buy CAC? My PC is very dusty

Hi guys, I just came back from lowyat plaza. Went to many different shops but none of them sell compressed air cans. Any suggestions on where I can find them?

went to lowyat also, apparently those shops dont know what the heck is compressed air also. sigh

found this though,

woah nice find, still i wonder if its worth if.

afraid later use 1-2 time then already finish d

ACE hardware in Sunway Pyramid got stock.
Personally I tested the air pressure is not that great.
My datavac blower could do better, its just setting up the cables and step down transformer will take some time.

Radioshack is also selling Air dusters now if anyone's interested. RM20+ only.

I got those recently too. Very good value. It's bigger and cheaper than those sold by Ace Hardware. Best compressed air you can get in the market ATM.

Hi, is it possible for you to snap a photo of the product and post it here? I am interested to buy it at RadioShack

i think its quite expensive just to blow the dust away by this method.

i just use a brush and a vacuum cleaner and some contact cleaner to spray the dust from some corner.

dont know if the contact cleaner will damage the board or not

Attached the photo of it (taken from other sites though). It's the same one available in Radioshack Malaysia.

I try to avoid using any kind of brush or liquid as much as possible to minimize damage to components. However, should not be a problem if you do it once in a blue moon.

refillabe? http://www.amazon.com/AES-Industries-124-R...l/dp/B002D3WXMU

Refillable spray cans usually comes with a small straight intake like nozzle while those non-refillable type are enclosed and practically very hard to impossible to refill them without taking the whole thing apart. The one you posted is indeed refillable.

Thanks, but are you sure that it is compressed air?
It does not say "compressed air can"

i agree with you,i bring my cpu to car mechanic outside my house,jalan pergi saje..no need to buy a CAC la..i bet you will use it the 1st time and not enough for the 2nd (if your cpu is as dusty as mine)..

nice!!! but how to refill?

How bout Air brush paint mini ?

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2438253

i did that too haha !! i am not alone lol

hi, wow this is an old post, but this is what i'm looking for too.

I once cleaned my PC at my car workshop using their air gun, very strong man, blow all dust away definitely.... just wonder would it be bad for the pc or not? maybe the idea of using the hairdryer is worth a try also.
