Constructive criticism: show how many Q-tips you went through at the end of cleaning. It'll help us gauge how dirty the rig is
You can see all the dirt....
@@Spankmepink We can! However my smooth engineer monkey brain loves to see how much it took all together! Much dirty very wow sorta thing.
“Rig”
@@Spankmepink prove it
Uncle jRok or anyone, have you ever seen the inside a AC unit that’s dirty?
I dust my PC's regularly. I am 100% guilty of never cleaning my consoles. I bet the inside of my xbox is the stuff of nightmares.
Yea I've never heard of anyone cleaning their console
@@ap30112002 Makes sense, never really had to assemble your own console, so I guess people would be worried about taking it apart and accidentally breaking em. (Of course, consoles are generally not made to be taken apart easily.)
@@ap30112002 My PS2 & PS3 are spotless inside as they were cleaned every 6 months and re-pasted yearly (when they were being used frequently). Most older consoles don't have fans so those don't get opened up as often but I do still clean them from time to time (like my Saturn, Mega Drive and N64).
I never cleaned my xbox 360 for 5+years and also never cleaned my xbox one for 4 years both are in need of a clean but I don't want to risk breaking or ruining both consoles
I have thought of doing this, for some strange reason the disk tray on my Xbox one s won’t read any dvd, Xbox 360 game or the Xbox one versions of Xbox 360 games on disc.
These are always my favourite videos. Always nice to see a dirty console be cleaned into pretty much pristine condition.
More to come!
@@GregSalazar do you think you could do some laptop cleanings, feel like that would be nice to watch 👍.
After I saw the first console deep cleaning from Greg, I had to look instantly for instructions and do the same for my fat PS3. :)
same! I Always wanna watch something. like this! :D i mean theres alot of dust and you clean it and i seen some like peoples do like consoles or just nintendo 3ds something like that if its an Very rare thing too see.
Yeah, Its some odd little happy thing, no clue why but I love seeing an old PC/Console cleaned up and looking new. I wonder if it's the same reason that you car feels like it runs better after you do a deep cleaning of the interior.
Finally Someone who actually explains exactly what to do and every part of it Thank You!
Gripping and pulling the X-clamp with needle nose pliers is a MUCH safer solution. With a good pair, less likely to slip.
Also using needle nosed pliers is how you pull the white cable connectors. Pulling on the cables is a no no as you could pull the cables from the connectors.
@@Mopantsu I wouldn't recommend that, you can actually pull the entire socket off the board that way.
There's a groove down the locking channel: insert a flat head 00 screwdriver into that groove and twist gently back and forth to rock the connector free from the socket. That was the way I was trained to do it, alternatively you can use a pry tool to rock the outer wing tabs to achieve the same result, but those are also prone to breakage/slippage.
With the X clamps, I was taught to use the largest flat head screwdriver you have with the tip wrapped in thick 3M electrical tape: then just insert in the mouth of the tab and twist as was demonstrated. Way less risk of slipping and if you do, less chance of gouging traces on the PCB.
@@DJSekuHusky This is the way
The correct tool would be a plastic spudger.
A use a flathead screw driver to pry it off.
I've been dusting out the inside of my PC usually about every 3-4 months, and I can say with certainty: not having roommates with dogs, or just roommates in general, has reduced the amount of dust significantly. Recently after, I got an air purifier, even better results.
Is your air purifier near your pc or just inside your room?
I really enjoy the cleaning series. I might enjoy them almost as much as you enjoy removing dirt from things.... almost 😁

@@mobgripchamanrogue I’m confused by this reaction lol Greg enjoys cleaning things… 🤷♂️
I used to struggle with the last panel then was told by a friend the easy way like you did, i usually give my son's xbox one a deep clean every 6 months, no issues with it.
Great video 👍
I really enjoy all your cleaning videos. The teardowns are very informative and are detailed allowing me to see exactly what you are doing. Plus I love all the learning as you go moments.
great work! my XBOX (2014) has been sitting for over 2 years since I switched to PC. My boys have their PS4s and my wife has her Switch so it doesn't get any use. It needed to be cleaned then. With your videos, I feel more confident to deep clean it.
My day one Xbox is collecting more dust while this one gets clean haha you will never be out of consoles to clean. Going through a though time right now, trying my best to get my mind of things happening in my life rn thanks being here for us Greg!
There is something very relaxing about watching these videos. Keep up the good work.
always watch these when they release, and this is yet another great upload in the series, keep up the good work man
front pannel removal during disassembly was clutch. thanks a ton.
I love the way you clean the machine it makes me feel as if it's a new machine if I had you do the job I just wish I lived close enough to help you out which helps me in the long run.LOL
The problem with using Q-Tips is that you'll most likely end up with the mess that is left on the board. It's easier to blast it a bit with air to remove the small particles, then "soak it" with IPA and brush it off with one of those makeup brushes that are super soft to break it apart and agitate it. That should get rid of most of the gunk, then simply use the air duster again to leave it squeaky clean. Less use of Q-Tips = Less plastic waste = More efficient.
I watched this video through once and used it to guide me to cleaning my own Xbox One and I gotta say, super duper helpful especially when it comes to the more sensitive, easy to break bits and what to look out for when dealing with it. Cracked my console open and spent a good 4 hours deep cleaning it, repasted the APU, slapped it back together and it was back up and running.
I gotta say Greg, your videos are so helpful and encouraging when it comes to taking care of systems. I used to lack the confidence to do things like deep clean and upgrade my parts until I found your channel. Thank you sincerely from this novice PC enthusiast.
note when removing the front part the ribbon cable if very hard to have to fix, and if broken it disables the power button, sync, and disk
Great work as always Greg! Love what you're doing! Keep it up!!
Fun fact: 'Ribbon-cable' is a cable made of actual individual cables (like the one you get with the power supply) whereas, the flat paper-like cables used inside a device are called 'flex-cable' because of their flexibility.
Thanks again Greg! Really appreciate what you do!
Thanks for the support!
Seeing an xbox one picked apart like this really just makes me realize what little miracle machines thet are compared to budget pc's, as well as the power of optimizing games for soecific hardware, even relatively low end. Hard to believe that I ran just cause 3 for dozens of hours on a machine like this
Thanks to your PCDC series..
I have now successfully disassembled, cleaned and successfully assembled it to a fully working state now :)
Thank you so much for this vid! I know I commented on the last GCDC about a more detailed tear down of the XBOX 1 and delivered in spades! 100 thumbs up!
I love your GCDC and PCDC videos and it reminds me I need to watch your PS4 DC video and cleaning mine about every month since I have cats, dogs, and a dusty environment. Thanks again for your self help videos.
Thanks for doing this series and the pcdc. It gave me more confidence to dismount and clean up an old gpu that was a bit clogged and now behaves better! Ps4 is next!
The master back in action. Love it makes my day.
you're cleaning videos are always fun to watch. It be cool to see if you would get to paint a console or maybe upgrade one.
Yes, that would be most excellent. Swap some drives up to the latest compatible tech. Paint the black plastic outer shell in some custom scheme. Today's plastic specific spray paints really look spectacular. Destiny has been my #1 game for 8 years now and my old xbone console needs to undergo the treatment you just performed on this console. I'm considering a new Destiny themed paintjob to top it all off.
These are so therapeutic to watch. They help with my anxiety.
Pro-Tip. You can put your console in the dishwasher. Only caveat is that you need to tape the ports and put your washer on extended dry.
I always enjoy the step by step disassembly and assembly process.
I think the external power brick personally is a better idea, as when that fails, it's significantly more cost effective to replace the brick than it would be to either send off the console to a repair shop or attempt to get a donor board to get the ac/dc brick. But yeah, they can be annoying for managing cables and such
Love the videos ! Always uploading at the best time !
Glad you like them!
These videos are so relaxing ❤️
I catch myself trying to wipe dust off my phone screen when watching these videos 😆
Main thing I love about this is that it feels professional but it also doesn't at the same time, if that makes any sense.
Good stuff, Greg! - great tutorial!
I always watch these videos as soon as they hit! Greg, have you thought about cleaning peripherals like mice, keebs, printers (those get gross), or monitors? Love the channel and keep it up!
Possibly! I've been looking into it. Need to familiarize myself with them a bit more.
Honestly the amount of effort put into this was pretty amazing not to mention you do it for free I respect this a lot
the Cat and Andrew video's are awesome!! He restores older hardware and gives them a new paintjob to make them look like new!!
Love the new duster! Great video as always!
Thanks! 👍
I cleaned out my ps4 slim for the first time in 4 years of owning it, Now its doesn't sound like a jumbo jet anymore and it stays cooler then it used to
mad respect for cleaning the screws I call that attention to detail 👌
keep the series up!
Got say I love that Microsoft went back to a physical button instead of staying with the touch sensor
Why physical button is better?
@Elias Rizk it takes alot more pressure to turn of a physical button. A touch sensor my cat can walk past it an turn it off
Awesome work
I will always keep watching you because your an amazing creator
Thanks. Makes me really want to clean mine
:-D
Dust cleaning gel FTW! 10 seconds of work will make it look better than Q-tip & ISO could ever get it to.
Really detailed video. Great job.
I really want to see you do PS3 the phat model. I had so much trouble with it, it was insane.
The most I do when cleaning my Xbox is removing the side panel and getting any dust out of it, sometimes I'll also get a little hand vacuum to clean the vents as much as possible. I don't trust myself to take it apart to clean properly and I don't feel like paying money to get a nearly 8 year old consoles cleaned. If it breaks, it breaks. There's always more to buy.
You are so good at deep cleaning electronics. Especially desktop gaming PCs and consoles. I wish I lived near the Orlando Florida area because I would love to drop off my gaming PC so it could have a SPA DAY with you. With these videos I get enough information to teach myself how to deep clean. The one thing I am afraid to deep clean is my GPU. I have never had to disassemble a GPU to re paste and deep clean it. But I know my 1660 SUPER will eventually need it.
I had my day one for Years! When i opened it up to clean after a few years of Major stress testing! I had a nice carpet in it! Ive moved on to a Ryzen PC now and their much easier to keep clean!
from the title and thumbnail for a millisecond I thought this was a jab at the xbox itself which I found pretty funny, never watched you before but love this type of content lol
I almost thought the thumbnail was clickbait but then I remembered Greg legit takes everything humanly possible apart!
That thumbnail had my heart racing
This was great thanks for the tips how to clean your gaming console.
I can only imagine how much cooler and faster these game consoles are after being deep cleaned like this.
I wanted to deep deep clean my ps3 but didnt I got it enough where it wasnt heating up in 5 minutes.
The performance is definitely better after a good clean because the console can cool down faster thus improving performance 👌
@@kylebeach2316 Yep. I'd love to deep clean my PS3 but I'm afraid of messing it up. I already messed it up once where the disc drive wouldnt work and it took me a few times to get it back to working condition. Too bad I'm not near Greg or else I'd send it off to him to get the deep inside dust bunnys out lol along with a few PS2s and the PS4 thats gathering dust... He would have a whole video dedicated on Playstations just off me alone
@@ThunderMS34 something i always remember to myself after years of taking apart tools,chargers,consoles,cars etc. Is that if something has to be parted in half to always just stop as soon as it does to never lift off to move it aside. You never know what wires might be connecting both halfs. Those ribbon cables are the worst.
love the videos keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I have that same model of Xbox One, been thinking in deep cleaning it and I'm glad that didn't do it before watching your video, now feeling more confident knowing in what i am getting in to. now you have my like and my subscribe
There are a very few, experts out there so focussed and honest about their job. I wished you had an Indian counterpart to rely on. Honestly. there isnt any at the moment and that space is wwiiidddeee open!!
Great video!
Great content & cleaning.
That thumbnail almost gave me a heart attack!
Lol 😆 @ 27:00/min of video just b4 when u were installing the top n front panel together, which makes 💯 % sense but yes. I Was going to message. That makes it so much easier to have separated n Install I also learned hard 😅 way n got tip from a different video. But great job putting this tip in your video. It's things like this that really helps set ppl up for success so thank you very much for a great video
Screaming for more contents! ❗️
OH! You're just spraying the case with water. When I saw your thumbnail, I was like "This guy can't be serious", LOL!
Thank you for showing everything great information video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great closing trick!
Thanks for this guide. With it, I can clean my Xbox tomorrow. I want to do it and I'm afraid of disassembling the console. Greetings from Poland
I recently came across a Strix 2060 Super for my PC rebuild (from a Phenom II 965 and AMD 5770). My launch day PS4 was recently repasted, cleaned and SSD installed... Along with finding a PS5 Disc on the shelf at a local Fred Meyer. I find myself with more games than time to play.
Heck yeah another video!
This shit looked clean as hell when you started. I’d find a way to show its dirty if it actually is
When you're doing large boards like that, I recommend a soft bristle toothbrush for agitation with iso over cotton swabs.
You're hitting it with the e-vac right after so it will have the same result in half the time and with no waste.
But then he can't make as much money, assuming he charges by the hour while cleaning.
@@JS-fz8iu He doesn't charge anything for the cleaning; the money gets made through ad revenue and sponsored content.
Besides, you typically don't charge by the hour anyway; you take all expenses, including estimated time and part costs, add a profit margin percentage, and that's what gauges the price of the service.
Salazar I love your content
I would recommend purchasing an X clamp removal tool, makes life so much easier. Or you can make one from a spare X-clamp too.
My son's PS4 stopped working just before Christmas. Since we had a PS5 wrapped up waiting for him on Christmas, we made him bite the bullet and go a couple of weeks without his console. Fast forward 2 months. I was bored and decided to take a look at the old PS4. It would power up, but not put out any video or sound. It also sounded like a jet engine ramping up for takeoff.
I tore it apart and oh Lord, the fins on the heatsink were completely clogged, the fan was heavily coated in dust, as was everything else on the inside. After about 2 hours of cleaning it, putting new thermal paste on it, and putting it back together, it was at least quiet. It powered up fine, but still had no video out. Out of desperation I took a q-tip with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned out the HDMI port, and VOILA', video output!
Turns out all it needed was a massive deep clean to get it to work again.
I just opened my xbox for the very first time. I'm honestly surprised it wasn't as dirty as I expected. Yes it was dirty but not disgusting. The thermal paste on the chip was all crusty and looked burnt. So I put some MX-6 on it. Works well on my GPU and CPU.
I subscribed because you liked my comment, love these vids and they have me debating saving again to build... Especially your fix or flop stuff!
More is on the way!
Most brush-less fans are submersible, not officially, but I've cleaned many with good old soap and water, even tossed an especially bad one in the dishwasher. Yes, I've even plugged them in and seen them spin while submersed, more than once.
For metal metal fins , I'll take it outside and spray with Break Clean , gets all the tight spaces unlike Q-tips
Good job Greg love your Video's
That thumbnail without any context is gold
well well well Greg thank you so much for hard work and uploads can we get to see a very dirty water build system cleaning something has 6~10 fans i think it would be pretty dirty and enjoyable to clean.
Lets Goooo GCDC
I will watch this video with great interest: I own the original Xbox console - I received it as a marketing gift from training providers in 2001. I keep it as clean as I possibly could keep it clean without opening the hood! Quite honestly when I learned that the Xbox could play DVD movies, my console ran more movies than games.
I recommend grabbing a cheap sonic cleaner from Harbor freight. Put the screws in there while you clean the rest of the build. Saves you from individually wiping them with a q-tip.
Love you men !! keep up
Honestly, cleaning is one of my least favourite video series on this channel, but I do like checking them out once in a while when there is something different.
I do understand the dedication and extensive amount of work you put into the cleaning content though.
We continue to upload them because a majority of our viewers find them entertaining/informative. If the feedback was negative and/or viewership was low, we'd move on to something else.
It's like an ASMR thing for lots of people
Adding some heatsinks to the memory modules will increase it life indefinitely and changing the fan for a custom one with higher rpm and an rpm switch can help to
This is amazing what you do i know i probably need my xbox one s cleaned at some point after my pc died it was my only source of gaming for years so i really went hard on it. i also have a ps2 and 3 and a few other consoles that i have aquired over the years that im sure could use a cleaning. Might have to learn how to do this or find a buddy who wants to take on the project since im not local to you to send them in.
Love the new glasses!
Ribbon cable nightmare from last week... I cleaned my PS4 for the first time, years overdue, and it all went well relatively speaking, except that the console no longer recognized discs. It turned out the ribbon cable running from optical drive to mobo is super fragile. I hadn't wiggled it enough before pulling it out (honestly didn't pull very hard either though), and I slightly damaged the blue plastic feet on one or both ends. Long story short, I ordered a replacement cable for $5 on Amazon and it fixed it. To everyone reading this, please be very gentle with the ribbon cables to avoid my error. I'm guessing durability is one reason ribbon cables lost the war against SATA.
Thanks to Greg for posting these!
I enjoyed it. GG, Greg.
Thanks, TJ!
Nice thumbnail. U got me good lol great vid
The best parts are the side by side before/after shots , satisfaction guaranteed
Great video! btw, while drying the parts, maybe ask the safety inspector not to go too close, well, for safety reasons.
Love the videos!
Glad you like them!
well done!
@Greg Salazar can you make up a newegg video series?
They are so fun to watch you know.
Damn I'm early! Thanks for the vid! Any update on when we get another PCDC video? These have become my favorites :)
Cheers from Amsterdam
One's coming soon! Sorry for the delay. They take quite a while to arrange.
@@GregSalazar Awesome, i’m excited! No apologies needed, I did my own pc the other day and it took me like 3 days, can’t imagine having to film all of that in different camera angles lol! Appreciate the content and can honestly say i’ve learned so much from your channel about pc’s so thankyou!
