No still wrong electric dusters cause static electricity and are way worse for your ox than canned air.
Imagine replacing your cpu cooler for the duster you linked.
@@jacobaltman102 imagine!
@@NeuralValley but I am definitely getting it so thank you :)
Can: Never shake or tilt
Him: **Shakes can**
Also can: Use short bursts
Him: Holds down trigger
@@thomassantillan2194 the short bursts are just so that none of the plastic gets brittle and breaks. They only put it on the can so that if that does happen they'll just say "you used it wrong" and not give you a refund.
@@Patrick-zr8tv no because the can gets to frostbite temperatures really fast
@@Ryanisthere that's literally just a round about way of saying what I said so I don't know what your point is
@@Patrick-zr8tv you said somethin about plastic
cans are not made of plastic they are metal
Meanwhile me, taking the PC to the garage and using a pneumatic air compressor.
Smart- respect
But if it’s not been drained the funky water can come out the end
@@henreh. still, beats having to drive to a store, spend money on cans of air and catching the dust in a plastic bag.
i need to dust my pc maybe i should use my air compressor too, is it too harsh if you get too close?
@@cheesedog8677 probably not, unless the pressure is too high, although i wouldn't go around poking capacitors with the nozzle either way and keep some distance
Never trust a man cleaning his pc by smashing the dust into his removable washable dust screen on the pc.
Never...
Right?
Bros watercooling looks like my grandpas respirator
☠️ is gramps ok?
Gramps must of been on the venom Bane was on in Arkham Asylum
That was the saddest custom loop ever xD.
yeah its an insult to custom loopers
@@scidja8567 get over it
You haven't seen mine then! 😄
I would just cover both side panels with metal and stick a picture of a decent custom loop pc on top... Just never open it and its fine lol
The saddest? i use AIO...
Can: DONT SHAKE ME
Him: Shakes
Can: AHHHHHH 💥
idiots. but hey it makes views on shorts... Should probably make another one denoting that you are not supposed to shake those cans, also the real danger is in tipping the can upside down. As it will instantly freeze anything you spray. This sudden "heat cycle" can break components.
That seems like a Krillin can
Do not shake or tilt DURING usage
it blew up rip
there are no problems with shaking the can.... if there where then it would not be legal to sell in stores and would be extremely hard to transport
"don't let ur fans spin"
meanwhile me making these fans spin so fast they start making some sounds 💀
when did he do that are you blind ?
@@featherstorm6682are you?
It will blow up
i always take my computer to my local tire kingdom and clean it with an air compressor and give me recomendations on my next oil change
They actually let you do that? Also, use high quality oil and filters and a up to 20% of your oil capacity with marvel mystery oil. Oil change every 3000 miles no matter what the oil or car manual says you can go up to which can be up to 5 or 10k miles which is far too late. 3k. Your car will last forever. Use gumout in the fuel once in a while to lubricate the top of the cylinders and clean out the fuel system too. Never even give a chance to let clogs form with that.
@@Subreon you can do anything as long as youre nice enough and dont give a person a reason to keep telling you otherwise. Yeah if you say can I borrow ur air sprayer. They would know what ur talking about, the attachment to make air a fine hose. Take the hose, think about they still have to work there, so ya put it far enough away from them, when you blow it doesnt hit them or if it does come close, spray the top air so the stuff in the air doesnt blow in yours or their shop. Smile tell them thank you so much and they would %100 let you come back again in some time if you say hey, how is your day first before you go asking them again. say oh yeah i was wondering after youve asablished you have seen them before go... may I use your air sprayer for my car again, and if they say, but you dont use it on your car. Just say I promise to be respectful and i appriciate you. They'll fkn look at you like ur a chad ass and give it to you again. and if that dont work then say please and im 100% sure the conversation has been long enough to where they would just say yes and you werent a problem to talking with them, because you didnt raise your voice or make it seem like youre an a$$hole, even know you are being askful, pushing for hope in sliding some. Please goes a long way sometimes. People just want to know youre good and can blink and ur gone. I would give you my air sprayer :)
nice of them to suggest an oil change for your computer, i need to start doing that , i already use anti freeze, weirdly enough my computer stopped working at the same time, so i can't say if it works
Jokes on you my PC is dust cooled.
*FBI calling* "He's cracked the code
lmao
Did anybody notice or realize the fact that if your PC is liquid cooled, why is there a fan intake
@@Agentname69 You have to cool the liquid still unless you are running a external radiator. Also VRMs and other parts generate heat.

Don't do it! :)
Thank you!! Good ol fashion wash cloth and vacuum....people want fast and easy and end up with this type of scenario. What is an extra 5 minutes?
@@fosterblue4457 Don't use a vacuum on PC components.
@@fosterblue4457vacuum? People use compressed air to avoid static, not to save some minutes. Continue using a vacuum and one day you will regret it
always have and never had an issue. I suppose only some would assume its an issue. You dont just stick a rag and vacuum inside computer. A little common sense. Remove fans. Remove components. Etc. Think a bit more. You know the old saying. "Think before you speak" we should reiterate "think before you type"
Probably would save alot of folks headaches and embarrassment.
I personally like to vacuum my filters when they’re dirty. Makes it alot easier than spreading dust bunnies everywhere
Respect!
Careful with that cause it may cause static electricity
@@samwilcox10 on a filter, taken out of the pc… that would discharge when you touch the PSU as you should before installing any part on your PC….
I have a small hand held vacumm could work-
Also it’s been a year since I even checked the heat sink and front
If anyone's wondering why you need to hold your fan still, motors are basically also generators.
The air will spin your fan really fast and can generate enough power to fry components on your motherboard.
I believe most motherboards nowadays have safety measures against that but just to be safe, hold your fans still.
Thx
Also tbh it helps with cleaning so you can actually reach the parts you need to get
Virtually all motherboards are perfectly capable of protecting themselves against this, but it’s just a good hygiene thing, especially if you happen to be cleaning older equipment
Nonsense, this is how you charge the cmos battery.
so wrong. it's. even proven it does not do that. learn befor you post stuff
Me who has been using leaf blower to clean my pc for last 6 years and still works fine
Exaxctly the same, I've been using either an old vacuum that has blow feature or a leaf blower.
Hold the fans so they can't spin and let that hurricane wind clean the whole rig out in 5 seconds
me who has been using leaf blower to air cool my pc 💀
@@fzk.goattt That's COLD
i just use the compressor on a tractor
same lmfao
I generally like to wash my filters with a shower head.
wash them out wipe them off and let them air dry does help. I clean mine every 2 months.
Yea much cleaner and faster too. Hair dryer if you want it dried quick
Yeah same, so the dust doesnt go flying. I also find that a vacuum works really well for my case (meshify c) becaus its got a mesh with a large piece of foam right behind it
yeah thats why they are even removable in the first place. I also wash radiators and coolers every once in a few months. Nothing cleans those anywhere near as good as plain ol water.
Same. Perfect results.
honestly, i clean my pc fans/filters once a month and it never gets that dusty inside. It's really nice having a case that has good quality filters.
I need one of those electric dusters not because my PC is dusty but because it’s brand new and since it’s my first ever custom PC I want to take care of it the best I can
Link in bio!
@@NeuralValley awesome thx 🙏
Just to add, if you are in Europe, you will never find cans with difluorethane or something similar. And I strongly advice against using it. Difluorethane is very bad for you and the envoirnment. I'm very surprised you can even still buy that stuff. There are way better alternatives, like the mechanical ones listed here and in the video (those are far superior over the chemical methods), but also butane or dimethylether, those also work and are way less bad
I just take out and clean the filter once every 2 weeks
anything that hasnt been deemed safe for the environment regarding aerosols has been banned in the u.s for like the last 50 years.
Butane is good until it catches a stray spark or something. Your computer will turn into a fireball.
@@godw1ll99 Emphasis on "the US". 134a makes Methane look like good.
Edit: masswise it has a GWP of 1430x that of CO2
@@Hyperus well regarding the u.s 134a is being phased out for R-1234yf. at the end of the day its all about whats the best worse thing to use... besides arent we talking about aerosols not refrigerants? i have a few cans and they use co2.
I use a vacuum and hose attachment to remove dust from filter
Yeah anything that ensures that dust is actually being removed rather than moved just for it to resettle later is great. I'll take my stuff outside and spray it with air
Happy to see I'm not all alone
Trust me the best way is using a compressor with an air nozzle. Will literally get ALL the dust out without removing any dust filters.
I use an 100k RPM air blower. Costs about 60 bux, lasts forever. Also great for cleaning air conditioner filters, fridge filters , air vents, etc. They are also wireless and usually have 3 speeds.
Blowing dust into a plastic bag is one of the most American things I've ever seen.
🇺🇸
Me witchout anti dust :D
Are we going to talk about the hanging pump or the y split cpu cooler….
Ask away!
Personally, i like to remove the filters of my pc, wash them, let them dry, while i let them dry, i use a smooth brush to clean the dust in the fans and the rest of components, also, remember to change the thermal paste at least once a year.
Dang, sounds like car maintenance instructions
@@CasualTS PC building does require a lot of maintenance lol
I think thermal paste lasts more than a year, i personally think you should change it every 2-3 years but idk
P.S. ALWAYS CHANGE THE PASTE IF YOU REMOVE THE COOLER
If you have a removeable filter dont blow the dust at all. Just rinse the filter and dry it after.
I use compressor, also the dust cover you can just put under water and wash it and let it dry naturally or if u wanna game faster use hairdryer
Just be careful not to blow the capacitors off your motherboard some conpressors have really high pressure
@@boobtronic9000 done it for years with various systems with no issues ofc it's not the most powerful compressor, bought it mainly just to dust out my system and the pressure knob is adjusted just for the right pressure (Y) good point tho for someone trying out compressor efter reading my og comment.
@@noobontour3167 👍
I just blow it with my mouth or I take a brush and I brush it until it's gone
@@CreeplayEU Cleaning with compressors is sooo much fun
The computer duster whippits go hard tho
I simply bought a $20 electric leaf blower and it has been serving me for over 10 years now. Cleans even the worst cases of PC dust with a few bursts
I used to huff that stuff in the 7th grade. Shit gets you sooooo high
😂😂
I see you went the more practical route of custom water cooling
I bought the rechargeable air duster and I LOVE that thing. It doesn’t get the caked on dust but it cleans my desk and using as a weekly duster it keeps it fairly clean! My house is extremely dusty too
My duster is my hairdryer when I don't put a heat setting on
Dope!
That is the most horrifying water cooling job I've ever seen
thats by far the worst build i have ever seen
@vitti2801 yeah imagine spending the time and/or money watercooling the CPU when you have a 1060 in it.
@@wavytoad9983 i guess its ok to watercool a cpu with a gtx2060 aircooled, but look at the actual loop, the positions of the pump, the fittings, the atrocious tubing and of course, the green liquid to clog the whole thing. i used chrome tubes for my build, was a pain in the ass but the looks are incredible, not even my first build about 20 years ago, where i had to use an aquarium pump, looked that awful =D
I use a small soft paintbrush to loosen the dust which is enough paired with a vacuum 🤷🏻♂️ never had a problem
Holy cow someone who actually makes sure to tell people to not let their fans spin! I see so many huge channels just letting them fly like its fine!
it is fine. the amount of emf they will generate from that is negligible
It is fine, this video is nearly completely pointless.
when i was younger i opened up my laptop and took an air compressor and started to blow it. Dust flew everywhere. Then the fan spun so fast it ripped itself into tiny pieces that flew everywhere... my face 😦
It also sent a back voltage into your mobo frying it if you didn't unplug the fans
be sure to replace ur coolant with 50/50 antifreeze. When changing oil be sure to use the recommend OEM oil only from longer engine life.
"We all deal with the same problem dust"
Me with a passive cooled laptop
Eletric blowers are really cheap and they don't usually have such a tight nozzel meaning its better to just blow in general
I have a USB powered mini hand blower i use on my PCS but would love an electric duster/air compressor if I could afford it.
I have an electric duster. I use it to troll my friends in voice calls for the most part, but it’s very useful to routinely clean my keyboard and occasionally my pc. I do recommend it if you’re an annoying piece of sh*t like me :)
You should use a de-ionizing air blower if the potential exist for contact with the motherboard. Static builds up and can cause a short on the board.
the reason to never let the fan spin (as fun as that is) is because it can work as a generator and generate a rouge spark that could cause mayhem on your board
A rogue spark? What in the sci-fi crap is that? They have a diode in them so its not gonna harm your pc by backfeeding. But still the diode has a breakdown voltage, so unless you intentionally spin it at VERY high RPMs nothing is going to happen
Never thought I'd be instructed how to use air for my PC by Patrick Mahomes.
thats funny, def did sound like patty
He’s got that 3 port cpu water block 😂
So basically getting people to jump onto your affiliate link I'll stick to my cans thanks
Alright. we are committed to making great content that educates and entertains! Thanks for the comment. 😃
i just give a bath to my computer once in a while
I wash my filter with dish soap and a fingernail brush. Dry it really good between a folded towel then give it a lil smack on the counter. Works great. Oh and a small vacuum n a brush with isopropyl alcohol. Never had a Issue.
Use an electric air duster good airflow, many come with adapters that get into the hard to reach areas of the fans and motherboard
Yup, its a great tool for this!
I use an old toothbrush and the old lungs. Works like a charm lol
ive heard that with using this method you'd rather inhale than exhale
I got a electric air duster as a gift and it’s so powerful for how little it is and it’s so helpful for cleaning used parts
Wtf is that loop💀💀💀
Yall have performance?
I live next to a car company and once a year I bring my pc and use their compressed air blower that's used to fill tires. Works like a charm
you can install a bike tire air piece on a big air can and just inflate it over and over, though a normal car vacuum cleaner is way better, I use a car vacuum cleaner and it works perfectly.
Awesome! Thanks for the note
bro just get a small air compressor with a water trap and boom done.
edit: I have a 3 gal makitia be quiet series I'd highly recommend the 2 or 3 gal to anyone. it's build quality is top notch and will probably last a life time.
Legit
yea, i have an compressor, and you use it more than you think
IMAGINE if you didn't blow all the dust into the surroundings or inside a bag but rather use a handheld VACUUM CLEANER to suck all the dust inside and save all the trouble and costs for cans etc!
Dust on filters can actually be useful to prevent dust inside the case, in case the PC is not getting loud or the components are not overheating. The filtration capability of filters increase as more dust is accumulated on them.
NOTICE use something like a data vac, not just some random vacuum (the static from the vacuum can/will fry your components)
I’ve never soon a custom loop look depressed before.
No one gonna criticise the water tank placement and aesthetics?
Okay then I won't either...it looks great
This is the Fluix brand that was featured on a Linus Tech Tips company. They're the only company with the whacky double inlet and one outlet cpu block. They tested it, and the block sucks ass lmao. Go check out the video, these guys are a sham

if you don't hold the fans while blowing with compressed air, you can set them on literal fire
You can get pure CO2 or nitrogen dusters. Unfortunately they're more expensive and go flat quickly.
I havent seen fluorine compounds used here in EU. I think they're mostly butanes and similar. One problem with those is they can make polycarbonate or some plastic blends brittle.
And butane is just ya know just a wee bit flammable.
@@jasongrim2027 Yeah but short of an open flame, you won't set it on fire so easily. If you do manage to, like if you have a good arc, you'll have a big scary fireball that will burn up in just a fraction of a second, almost like an explosion minus a pressure wave. I mean i imagine i could light it with a cheap cordless drill, with the little spark that occurs on the brushes, but i think it's going to be a very hit or miss sort of experience, and i'm also not really up for an experiment.
I've heard someone did kill themselves with hairspray propellant resulting fire (also butane and very similar hydrocarbons) but they filled the air in the room with like 5 cans of hairspray and they had a drawer full of flash cotton right nearby. I don't know, i think you should think of extra precautions when you have flash cotton around.
My favourite or rather least favourite flammable compound though is acetone. It goes hard. Oh i also had an isopropyl alcohol vapour explosion once, i peed my pants but ultimately otherwise there was no further damage, which was funny. But i am keeping a fire extinguisher at hand since.
Your not supposed to shake those cans 😭😭😭
THAT GREEN LOOP GAVE ME AN ANEURYSM
I just use a 2" wide paint brush. Works great to remove dust from those screen filters.
If you have a removable dust filter the most effective way of cleaning them is just holding the thing under the shower. It gets rid of all the dust and is really quick to do. If I want to reattach the filter right away I usually dry it with a towel than run the hair dryer over it on full setting until all the water is gone. This also works on air coolers or radiators, obviously without the fans attached.
that is the saddest water cooling attempt I have ever seen
🤣 I paused and just stared at it for 15 seconds in bewilderment
ikr
so, the flow of the loop is going in reverse? something really wrong with this loop.
I found out air compressor work great cleaning whole PC in seconds turned up to 100psi 😎👍

I like to use a industrial shop air compressor running 100+ psi with water separators that haven’t been emptied since installed. The water really gets the dirt and grim good!

For 20 years I’ve just used a garage air compressor. Works perfect.
why would you use the dust can to clean a filter when you could easily throw it in the bath tub or smth and clean it with water?
to this day I am still waiting to see someone killing a pc part because they used a vacuum cleaner or didn't hold the fan still
killed my mobo yesterday
Holding the fan still is from a bygone era before we put nice safety features to restrict backcurrent (very cheap modern fans can have the need still) Reason for it is they will generate voltage and with older systems they didn't always have protections from backcurrent like that. (can test this by grabbing one of those early 2000s red/blue LED 80mm fans and you'll see the LED come on when blowing the blades
i have that same case. idc what people say
take that filter and put it straight under a faucet upside down
then when its clean put it next to a heater to dry, and your done
tbh I don't see what is wrong with doing that to a filter, AC servicing people also do the same thing
I’ve been using an air compressor for 10 years no issues whatsoever but then switched to an air duster it’s a life changer.
I bought a small portable compressed air blower 2 years ago. I’ve saved so much money dusting my pc
I just used my leaf blower lol
😂 I need to see this now
That's some quality water cooling there ladies and gentlemen. Built by Ray Charles himself.
leaf blower and air compressor go BRRRRRR
Letting your fan spin is the best part when you clean your PC
Am I the only one who using a damn vacuum cleaner...
Yeah for real. I can’t believe People are that lazy, to just use an air can and blow all the dust somewhere else into their room, instead of using a Vacuum Cleaner. Personally, i take the whole PC apart and vacuum clean everything, then i use a Towel with some Liquids and then deep clean all the Parts.
@@user-gt8dh7qj3w you can't clean all dust with vacuum, air blower is much better
@@IamUzyf That’s why i said you have to take the PC apart a bit
@@user-gt8dh7qj3w not at all, just buy air blower
@@IamUzyf Nope, i prefer to clean it properly, especially the Rotors of the Fans, since they can only get cleaned with a Wet Towel. Air Blowers are a Waste of Money and wont do shit in that Case.
I just use my pressure washer and let it fully dry before using PC again.
I have one of those electric mini blowers and it is incredibly strong, but it does not blow dust that is stuck on the components. I ended up using it for general housekeeping and switched back to using cans of Duster and cloth for my PC.
I can agree that dust is really annoying on pc components. It's kinda scary that a tiny bit of dust can already affect performance.
Right!
Wait until he finds out that when you compress a gas enough it turns into a liquid. It’s usually like nitrogen that’s put in those cans. Fluorocarbons aren’t used in those anymore, they are mostly used as the gas in your refrigerator or air conditioning unit.
It's definitely not nitrogen because nitrogen need to be below -147 degrees Celsius for it to be liquid at all. Any temperature above that and nitrogen is ether a gas or supercritical
@@1234567890CAB nah. You can compress nitrogen and it will be a liquid at room temperature if under enough pressure. Propane tanks are filled with liquid propane.
Propane and nitrogen have different properties. If you'd like to learn more look up "phase chart" and the name of the chemical.
I have vacuumed my computers for 20 years, no problems.
Wait how lmaooo
I did that ~5 years too, and never had any problems.
@@MexicanInTheTrap Don’t touch the mobo just the fans and case I’ve used vacuum many times as well nothing happens. Even if there’s static the case should ground the electricity no problem. Modern PC all have surge protection and they are more resilient than people think
First thing I was thinking about! Why buy all this compressed air BS if you can use a vacuum cleaner???
nice i did the same and my pc was spitting flames
"Use in well ventilated area"
because the liquid in those cans is not only very flammable once aerosolized,
but it can trigger life threatening breathing issues in some people.
I use an electric duster I got from amazon. It does have more air pressure than canned air which helps even more with dust built up over time. But I find myself dusting on a more regular basis since I can just recharge it when the battery gets low.
the best way is to regularly clean the room your pc is standing in. no shit. who would have thought.
Hey great video! What video software did you use to to get the text on screen like that? It looks great!
The captions app from the app store 💪
The best way to clean fans, filters, and anything pretaining to dust I have found is with a cheap little $80 shop vac.
Just to be safe I take components such as fans and filters off and hold them still (like he said in the video) when using a shop vac especially.
You can buy different heads for the end of the hose to have a different effect. The brush head is one of the best but you have to clean the head when you're done because a build up of dust on the brush head can make it less effective.
I hope this helps someone.
