As you all know , our pc might collect dust inside the cpu especially on the fans and heatsinks. rclxub.gif
Sometimes when you dont bother this at all, the dust will build up into a pile and it may affect your computer's cooling efficiency. Not only that but also make your computer run more NOISY doh.gif . All just because of the dust...
Worse case , your pc might burn out or get faulty over time as the ignorance on it.

So lets find out how often we clean our computer and discuss about it.. rclxms.gif

well instead of brushing off the dirt. i take my pc out from my house and blow it with a blower. of cause the dirt will fly all over the place. but at least my heat sink is clear of webs and dusts.

Every 2 weeks, the part that I first check is graphics card, next is the CPU and next is the PSU. Normally is the graphics card that collect most dust in my PC

I used to clean my front intakes every week and a full case cleanup every month. Nowadays working, can't be bothered. Only do it when I'm opening up my case do do something else at the time. laugh.gif

I want to clean since just start learning abt computer maintenance the problem is how could probably clean it because my father just bought it last year January which is branded computer, there gt seal up the back of the cpu with sticker to avoid customer cheat them during warranty. They said if the warranty sticker gone the warranty might expire immediate...the warranty duration is 3 yrs.
