i'm speechless see ur's like that

if mine ar sure i will cry liao

I got a big blower that so powerfull , so every week i blow damn dust away......

Hey bro, looks like ur rig needs some heavy cleaning. (hmm...or maybe just leave it like tat, use the time to set up your new rig would be more efficient.)

For my rig, hmm...depends a lot on mood. But wouldn't be less than twice a year. The XP-90 gets frequent cleaning as my Nidec traps loadsa dust. The other parts, still ok.

Was thinking of bringing my rig to the car wash and borrow their blower.

ya than later on will damage ur electronic component lor cause the blower generate high esd lor

Support!!!
This is easy!

I don't have a blower, I don't have a can of pressurize air and I don't have a vacuum for computers.... but I do have a bicycle pump!!!

actually if my case don't have side panel window i will not clean every weeks. i use paint brush and vacuum cleaner.

but the air contain moisture? ok or not?

this may cause electrostatic discharge, right?

Eh? Air from environment what. Why more moisture?

True, I've heard that you can't simply use any brush. Some brush may cause a build-up of electrostatic and the ESD may damage your ESD-sensitive components.

i clean my pc every 3months like tat....take out every component then clean it...

when there was moisture sure ur ic or component and even the pcba will damage

any suggestion on using what cleaning method??

ill clean if my pc got dust....but will change the thermal paste every 3 months...

Curious to know why you have to change the thermal paste so frequently? Which part - e.g. the CPU, chipset......

i took my my cpu ... the thermal paste like kinda dry oledi

is it time to change ??

and where else should i apply thermal other than cpu ??

If you have removed your CPU, then you must reapply new thermal paste. Wipe off the old thermal paste first though (if you have thermal paste remover, use it! e.g. ARCTICLEANER)

In some mobo, the chipsets (northbridge/southbridge) heat-sink/heak-sink fan may not have adequate thermal paste or the thermal paste are lousy. If you know how, you can remove the heat-sink/heat-sink fan and reapply a good thermal paste......

This is of course, off-topic: Wanna learn more about thermal paste, go here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/455782

TIM of course will dry after some time la. Thermal paste are used for CPU, GPU, and mebbie NB. Not sure abt NB. Anyways, talking about TIM reminds me of smth. I sent my old PC to PCZone cuz of instability. The technician cleaned my stock HSF by removing the fan (left the chunk of aluminium) and started whacking it on the floor. Strange, but effective. Lotsa dust came out. After that, he just chucked the whole HSF back. I asked him abt the TIM, he said nvm, liddat also can work.

Effective but NOT recommended!!! LOL, whacking the heat-sink on the floor???!!??

Carpeted floor or cemented floor?

No la, there are more effective ways of doing this rather that what you've described.

the fastest way to get rid of all dirt without removing anything .... BLOWER..620w can blow the com away already
