@@TurboLoveTrain compressed air from the opposite direction to the airflow, so that you blow the dust out the same way it went in, it is easier than trying to blow through the same direction of the airflow, since it got stuck there anyway. There are a number of things you can use, cans of compressed air is a short term cheap option, getting a PC vacuum/electric blower is a good long term option since it is reusable or just use a shop air compressor. Getting some brushes can help with caked on dust, but the best option is to clean more often and prevent it from getting that bad in the first place.

Hey, I might be too young, but I'll be your dad right now. I am very proud of the person you've become. I don't say it often or even show it; I tend to be in my own head. But when I'm with my friends or colleagues, I overwhelm them with what you're doing in life, goals, or something funny you told me. Don't ever change, because you are what the world needs.

Nothing is as priceless as seeing you jay as a father being happy and proud and that hug from your daughter was so adorable! This build looks like a beast & like the tips when it comes to taking maintenance on a PC
Jay, your daughter's art looks absolutely amazing, and I am so happy that you showed it. xD And what she aspires to do is incredible. She might be embarrassed by you showing her art, but showing it, I'm gonna be parroting everybody else, but that shows that you are proud of her. She's gonna love you for it later, I guarantee it.
Yeah, 100! I used to make a lot of art then other things in life slowly ate up all the time I used to have for it. Been trying to make time for it again only to realise I've forgotten a lot of the techniques and my muscle memory
aww thats great man i still remember the model number of every part my dad bought me since my first build at age 7 (amd athlon II x2 240). getting ready to make my next decade build and hopefully game with him for many more years on a 4090
I've found horse hair brushes work the best for being safe to use on computer parts/systems. If you can't get them or don't want to use animal hair you can spray an anti static spray on the brush. This also works with the attachments on a vacuum/shop vac. I live in the North East static is an issue during the winter even with a humidifier.
I would suggest getting a makeup brush (think its for doing blush or whatever), sister gave me one and it works a bloody treat to remove dust. Never had any issues with static, and it's soft. Never could get behind the usual brushes that are as stiff as the one you used in the video personally; but I do baby my electronics so.
Cheap and really effective for loose surface dust, but sometimes you need something a little more invasive. I've cleaned a lot of computers, and a soft bristled toothbrush is fine, and sometime necessary. Not all dust is created equal and the makeup brushes are often not enough to get it off. Especially if you're cleaning around anything where a thermal pad was used. And really, If a toothbrush or that detailing brush he used was enough to knock the component off... it's wasn't really on to begin with.
@@TheGameBench True but I feel like a soft brush like makeup brushes get more of the area much easier than stiffer ones. Some dust can need a little more effort for sure. I suppose in a way using a makeup brush is sort of an OCD thing? For anyone curious the one my sister gave me is some cheap one "Vander", they're purple. No idea what specific one out of the set it is, but it's "medium" I suppose. For how often I've needed to use it, it's lasted for a long time.
Actually, detailing brushes aren't really very stiff, but they are usually used in conjunction with some kind of lubricant to prevent scratching car paint. But I do agree, make up brushes are far softer and safer on glossy and transparent surfaces. One thing I also do is put on a coat of ceramic wax on transparent surfaces. This helps make them easier to clean in the future and helps keep them looking nicer for longer.
I love watching Jay through the years as his daughters grow up I grew up in a house with three sisters and I can’t wait until his daughters start turning into their latter teenage years😂 It’s going to be a hoot
Nice vid man. I remember the look on my daughter's face back in 2003/2004 when I built her her first gaming pc (GTX5950, skt 478 Pentimum 4 3.2GHz) Good memories.
Jay, good segment on cleaning a PC. Most folks are completely oblivious to the gunk & crap that accumulates into their PC over time, and when the cat hair blanket covers the PC's air inlets and all of the internal components to the point of causing a serious thermal failure? "Wahhhh.... wahhhhh... my PC is a piece of junk....". I use similar cleaning techniques for cleaning PCs, except as far as using a blower, I lean towards more of an 'industrial' approach. I put the PC on my picnic table (outside) with the sides off, and use my Echo electric leaf blower at a light to moderate speed, coming no closer than a foot away from the components. Some of the family's and donated PCs (I rebuild PCs gratis for non-profit use) can generate an absolute tornado of dust, hair 'n dirt 8 to 10 feet high, so I've learned to wear safety glasses & a mask. Afterwards, some careful detailing of the fans, mobo, etc. with an 8" horsehair brush, one more quick followup with the leaf blower, and that can handle most cleaning for dirty PCs.

I have a pc thats in need of a big clean so this was helpful, as I was super scared of making things worse or breaking stuff. It's also nice to hear you talk about your kid, who sounds pretty cool with or without straight A grades (which, lets face it, helped none of us in life after school). Either way it sounds like she'll really benefit from the upgrades you provided. Hope she loves the changes 👍
Check out greg who does the fix or flop seris on his channle, he also does a deep dive pc cleaning seris too, i forget his second name, but search fix or flop to find the channel and look for his pc cleaning vids from there. 😉
I always use a compressor inflatables pump to initially blow off all the big dusty bits OUTSIDE the home. Once the mushroom dust cloud of an explosion has gone and the coughing has reduced, bring it back into the house and do any secondary cleaning/wiping. The temps always go way down after a big build up.
Love the comments on parenting and her rig is SICK watched this cus planning to build something for my daughter shes an awesome person just like your daughter and asks for nothing but gets as much as I can give her thank you for the inspiration your an awesome dad Im sure your many other things but above all else Dad is your most important role period!
This PC almost has me green with envy by the end of the build. Joking aside, always love how more down to earth your videos feel compared to other channels.
I think we all wish we had a dad as supportive and proud of his kid as Jay is of his daughter. She's got real talent for drawing. Hope she continues to work hard because one can only imagine how amazing her already great artwork can get
Nothing is kooler than a proud and loving parent..I remember seeing Your daughters build a couple years back..I think the older daughter..but just had to applaud your undeniably proud and loving❤ parenting..
I know this is old, but the support for your daughter honestly makes me cry. I wish my father upheld his promises for when i got straight A's in school. Ive heard the lines of "get straight A's and u can have what you want" and it wouldnt come true. I aspire to be like you when i have kids and give them things when it is earned. Also the support to her playing games and not weaponizing her computer is refreshing
Thanks for sharing these tips. I’m building a new gaming PC right now but my current one is in an Antec Twelve Hundred full tower case with 5 fans (w/ blue LED) and they all work fine to this days. That build was done 15 years ago so kudos to Antec.
That's awesome that she wants to get into animation/illustration. Programs worth checking out are Cal Arts, Art Center of Pasadena, Sheridan College (Canada), or public schools like Cal State Fullerton.
Definitely need to get me a hand vacuum like that. As a teacher, your daughter sounds like a great student to work with! I bet it makes her teacher's job a lot more enjoyable to have such involved parents and a well behaved student.
I think the hand-held thing is an air blower, then he's using a long hose on a vacuum cleaner to try to take the blown-out dust away. Those electric computer dusters are very effective, and so much nicer to use than "air duster / canned air".
@@MattFowlerBTR Thank you for the information! I'll have to look into getting one. I have two cats, so I clean My Girlfriend and I's Pc out at least 4 times a year.
@@MattFowlerBTR It is, it's looks like the IT Cleaners CompuCleaner that I have... It's extremely effective. I vape near my PC and get none of the stickiness Jay describes... CompuCleaner just blows it all away in an instant. Mind you, I do use PG based E-Liquids in my vape, not the stickier VG based ones.
As someone who started working IT consulting for small business Point of Sale we found with our clients in beauty, the impact of hairspray is amazing and much worse than cooking oil. Human hair and dust with a bit of hairspray forms a cake that should be cleaned off every quarter and we just trashed the power supplies every year when running in free air. We tried everything in the days before industrial system on chip. At one client they paid for HVAC company to run in fresh air, filter and dehumidify and positive pressurize their POS and Server desk enclosers. We went from 20 to 6 calls across 3 stores a year to just for software upgrades and HD replacements by eliminating the airborne hair and hairspray out of the store. Today I would just buy a dozen Pis to run the same software. I note today, the use of tablets is almost universal in hair care and kitchen POS.
@@ocelotxp To be fair, cats do not produce the quantity of dander dogs do. Dogs dander and debris is ridiculous. Our dog that wasn't non-allergenic passed away around a year ago and the drop in how much dust was in the environment was noticeable (we still have a dog and 2 cats).
That 2080 Ti comment hit hard! I just this week upgraded my 2080 Ti to a 4070 Ti Super. A year later than this video. Hats off to you giving such praise to your daughter and rewarding her in this fashion. 👍
lil jay's art is awesome! she already has an "animation" style going, which is fantastic. and learning to run that Wacom will really push her forward. look up some art shows from Critical Role (the DnD people) called "Pub Draw" where professional artist for darkhorse comics shows you how to draw different types of characters. babs tarr. really fun!
This is a fantastic video. I wholeheartedly subscribe to the same philosophy for both of my boys. We upgraded the processors last year (9600k) & GPUs (RTX2070) and watercooling this past summer. Good tip about using zip ties in associated clusters! That makes so much sense. It's almost stupid to not do it!
I do that as well with the zip ties, but I also use some of those wrap around wire labels you find in most home improvement stores to keep track of fan wires. Also bought a zip tie gun to make cinching down the zip ties easier as it cuts the excess off.
@David Johnston I flip a lot of computers and find those wire ties broken and poking at other wire casing. Not necessarily enough to create a short, but there's a potential.
Jay's parenting style is what we need more of. Get good grades, work hard in school, and get reward. I'm tired of those parents on social media bragging about how their kid works on top of school and then the parents charge them a tax for making money to teach them hard work. No. What this teaches them is to focus on work/money more than their education first.
This case looks like it's a breeze to clean. Never underestimate the virtue of removable panels; the sideways PSU is likewise a welcome addition, sick and tired of their fans normally being so hard to access.
@@fynkozari9271 Then try a Lian Li Lancool II Performance model; they're great! Wouldn't swap mine for any reason...I do like that it is minimalist in appearance......
@@thecorrupt961 youd think...BUT, Dust filters are like $10...dog grooming starts at $40 every 3-6 months with a husky lol and theyre still shedding year round🤣🤣
Never apologise for rewarding your kids hard work with nice things, as a father myself i get asked constantly, 'dont you think spoiling your kids will ruin them?', hell no! if my kids are working hard at school and are good, polite hard workers im going to reward them appropriately! great job Jay, sweet PC your daughter is getting!
wires... thats why i whent SL120 on my build.... had been out of PC world for about 10 year at the time of the build so did some reshearch e decided that 18 wires + controler wore to much (9 fans) so i found the at the time fresh out sl120 and whent for it, so happy i did they are amazing
Love Jay saying about the Corsair cable crap. I went over to EK/Lian Li because of it. Yes Corsair has nice fans but the cable mess I just don't want to deal with.
I would start with compressed air outside with a system like this. In my experience, that can deal with about 90% of the initial cleanup job in a few seconds. Brushes are useful but I would only use them if there were areas the compressed air couldn't get the job done.
Dang it! Thanks Jay. Now my throat is closing up and I can't breathe lol. I've seen my fair share of pet friendly PCs. Good on Little Jay for doing so well in school. I know you are super proud of her!
"she might be a witch- I'm not sure".. lol I don't know why I died laughing when you said that, timing + rhythm probably. I dig all that fantasy land- fairy -winx - mage'y - wisp stuff too though. She does have a artistic mind.
It would be better with a filter i think. I have filters, my temps are really good, my build is clean and the only thing i have to do is take them off once like a month and just blow the dirt off it and its done.
I can totally relate about the dog fur. I have had 11 rescues, 9 of which were shedding machines(I have a zone variance that allows it :) ). You find dog hair in the weirdest places too. I recommend reversing the shop vac and blast it outside first. Then vac it out. The rebuild looks fantastic. Love the green!
Really awesome to see you speaking so highly and proudly of your minion... It speaks volumes of you that you speak with such joy and pleasure about your kids is the absolute best part about this video.. The tech stuff... its informative interesting...but not nearly as awesome as you being so proud !
8:20 As a person that is allergic to cats, but does own multiple, I was definitely just sniffling and coughing instinctively when you were cleaning everything 🤣
I never get when people say they are allergic to cats and still have them. I literally can barely breath with one cat around how do you manage to stay alive?
@@sunnycyberbum lol well in my area they're good for the farmers in making sure no rodents, lizards, and bugs get into he crops and houses. They're good at that and are just really friendly with alot of the people here. The ones I have are strays and more or less adopted me than me adopting them 😅
I vacuum the outside of my case once to twice a month and the inside just a few times a year. But i have pretty good filters on the case so not much dust gets inside.
Man I'm glad I'm only allergic to grass and crops and stuff, that's much less likely to end up in my pc and bother me while cleaning ... btw your daughters drawings are really good!
It's humbling to know even a crazy comp guy old hardware gets used untill its forgotten a testament to you're builds kind sir thank you your daughter is lucky!
Just had one of my 10 corsair LLU's start to become really loud, lights not working properly. Going to swop them all out for 10 of these. OMG the cable management in my PC is going to be so much neater! Thank you.
This build helped me to find my new fans. I am going to build a Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL in early 23 and I am looking for the perfect fan... As I will use an ASUS board in my system the fans would fit perfect :) I really like this build a lot! The white and green is an awesome combination! I totally understand your daughter as green and white is also my fav combo :) Want to build something as well but I have no experience with tubing and this stuff so AiO will be the only "water based" cooling for a long time ;)
Jay, I have that Case and I can tell you if you put it on it's side (motherboard down) it A) Avoids GPU Sag and B) No Pump issues (at least on my config using an AIO). I even added my own feet to give it some space to draw air from the bottom.
I actually have a very fun story about ICUE and corsair. I recently did a build with the lian li fans but wanted the corsair aio because lcd screen make brain go brr. But ICUE is the only software that can read the coolant temp from their aio so i can't base any of my fans off of the coolant temp which wouldnt be a problem if my cpu wasnt a 7950x that is thermal limited. So my fans were always running at max cause the cpu was always at max. So i had to use a special adapter to route the lconnect hub into the commander core so it could control the fans. You cant just plug it into the commader core because the commander core doesnt recognize it so you have to use a splitter so you can trick into thinking it is. Really nice thing to do for your daughter I am sure she was super excited and thankful.
Pro tip from a contractor who needs to fight dust on site in very expensive homes when working. the best way i found to collect dust is get a big box fan and use spongy cords to attach a regular FAU filter on the intake side of the fan, this system will suck up pretty much all the dust.
Glad i watched. We have a Siberian as well and have yet to complete my build 🙌🏻 crazy that it gets that dirty on top of the desk even. Maybe ill keep my filters in rather than more airflow thru the case!
The best thing I've learned watching Jay's videos. Cable management. This gave me even more food for thought for the next round. On my previous builds you could best have described my cable management (or lack thereov) as "there seems to have been a struggle".
Her drawings are so good! Good luck to her. I hope she’s able to get the job she wants animating or whatever would make her happy. That pc is beautiful!
I work in automotive dealerships as a parts person. The previous dealership I was at, before the one I'm at now, I was the "Computer Guy". So when a machine needed cleaned out, I just took it to the back of the garage, grabbed an air blow gun from a tech and used shop air to clean it out. About 145PSI of shop air. Never had an issue. And here I see you being all delicate and stuff with a brush and fancy blower tool.... lol
This is my Favorite build i have seen you do. Love the color choice with the white and green. This would be my dream system if i could ever afford it. Keep up the good work.

I love to see how proud he is of his kids. such a proud dad moment/video. Keep up the good work Jay!!!
Your daughters art rocks! Reminds me of my oh so taleted little sister. You are an awesome dad.
Awesome seeing Jay's daughter earn the rewards of being intentional in her actions. This is a feedback loop that can go to great places.
I have a pc thats in need of a big clean so this was helpful, as I was super scared of making things worse or breaking stuff. It's also nice to hear you talk about your kid, who sounds pretty cool with or without straight A grades (which, lets face it, helped none of us in life after school). Either way it sounds like she'll really benefit from the upgrades you provided. Hope she loves the changes 👍
yeah, too much pressure for meaningless grades, not flunking is the real norm and not misbehaving !
Check out greg who does the fix or flop seris on his channle, he also does a deep dive pc cleaning seris too, i forget his second name, but search fix or flop to find the channel and look for his pc cleaning vids from there. 😉
@Hudson Hamman That's the guy, Thanks!
@@DaftFader Thanks! 😊
Yes, I am jealous that she has such a badass dad and PC!! Haha always like your content. Helps me think of what to do when I decide to build a pc
Wow!!! A huge change and well deserved. Great Dad!!
I always use a compressor inflatables pump to initially blow off all the big dusty bits OUTSIDE the home.
Once the mushroom dust cloud of an explosion has gone and the coughing has reduced, bring it back into the house and do any secondary cleaning/wiping.
The temps always go way down after a big build up.
Love the comments on parenting and her rig is SICK watched this cus planning to build something for my daughter shes an awesome person just like your daughter and asks for nothing but gets as much as I can give her thank you for the inspiration your an awesome dad Im sure your many other things but above all else Dad is your most important role period!
This PC almost has me green with envy by the end of the build. Joking aside, always love how more down to earth your videos feel compared to other channels.
it's dirty like you🤣
I refuse to believe you walked past that dusty rig everyday and ignored it Jay! 🤣🤣
Your daughter is fantastic 👏 thanks for sharing a touching video.
I think we all wish we had a dad as supportive and proud of his kid as Jay is of his daughter. She's got real talent for drawing. Hope she continues to work hard because one can only imagine how amazing her already great artwork can get
You are a good Dad. Nice to see children learn that hard work is what gets you what you want. It's not spoiling, it's great dadding!
Nothing is kooler than a proud and loving parent..I remember seeing Your daughters build a couple years back..I think the older daughter..but just had to applaud your undeniably proud and loving❤ parenting..
If only every father could be as proud and loving as Jay is to his daughters
Thanks for reminding me to do maintenance on my son's PC! You can tell how proud of your daughter you are, you're an awesome dad.
Thank you for reminding me to replace my HVAC filter. This channel really does level up my entire adulting-ness.
No joke
I know this is old, but the support for your daughter honestly makes me cry. I wish my father upheld his promises for when i got straight A's in school. Ive heard the lines of "get straight A's and u can have what you want" and it wouldnt come true. I aspire to be like you when i have kids and give them things when it is earned. Also the support to her playing games and not weaponizing her computer is refreshing
Thanks for sharing these tips. I’m building a new gaming PC right now but my current one is in an Antec Twelve Hundred full tower case with 5 fans (w/ blue LED) and they all work fine to this days. That build was done 15 years ago so kudos to Antec.
Dad brag for the win!! Love it. Came for the content left feeling proud for all A's
That's awesome that she wants to get into animation/illustration. Programs worth checking out are Cal Arts, Art Center of Pasadena, Sheridan College (Canada), or public schools like Cal State Fullerton.
Definitely need to get me a hand vacuum like that. As a teacher, your daughter sounds like a great student to work with! I bet it makes her teacher's job a lot more enjoyable to have such involved parents and a well behaved student.
I think the hand-held thing is an air blower, then he's using a long hose on a vacuum cleaner to try to take the blown-out dust away. Those electric computer dusters are very effective, and so much nicer to use than "air duster / canned air".
@@MattFowlerBTR Thank you for the information! I'll have to look into getting one. I have two cats, so I clean My Girlfriend and I's Pc out at least 4 times a year.
@@MattFowlerBTR It is, it's looks like the IT Cleaners CompuCleaner that I have... It's extremely effective. I vape near my PC and get none of the stickiness Jay describes... CompuCleaner just blows it all away in an instant.
Mind you, I do use PG based E-Liquids in my vape, not the stickier VG based ones.
You did an awesome job. So nice to see a dad who appreciates his kids.
As someone who started working IT consulting for small business Point of Sale we found with our clients in beauty, the impact of hairspray is amazing and much worse than cooking oil. Human hair and dust with a bit of hairspray forms a cake that should be cleaned off every quarter and we just trashed the power supplies every year when running in free air. We tried everything in the days before industrial system on chip. At one client they paid for HVAC company to run in fresh air, filter and dehumidify and positive pressurize their POS and Server desk enclosers. We went from 20 to 6 calls across 3 stores a year to just for software upgrades and HD replacements by eliminating the airborne hair and hairspray out of the store.
Today I would just buy a dozen Pis to run the same software.
I note today, the use of tablets is almost universal in hair care and kitchen POS.
I think a dust screen/filter at the bottom would be good for this.
pc-o11-dynamic dose have dust filters on the underside of the case but they're not the best.
@@Warhorse469 mine work just fine with 2 cats -- I've had my 011 Dynamic for over 2 years now
@@Warhorse469 Anything is better than nothing.
@@ocelotxp To be fair, cats do not produce the quantity of dander dogs do. Dogs dander and debris is ridiculous. Our dog that wasn't non-allergenic passed away around a year ago and the drop in how much dust was in the environment was noticeable (we still have a dog and 2 cats).
These videos are surprisingly good... discussing aesthetics, what can be improved and how you're improving it... very educational 😃
I have these brushes to detail my car and I can't believe I never thought about using them to dust off the computer! this is life changing
That 2080 Ti comment hit hard! I just this week upgraded my 2080 Ti to a 4070 Ti Super. A year later than this video. Hats off to you giving such praise to your daughter and rewarding her in this fashion. 👍
Amazing how clean water cooling system is. Have the similar xl setup and mine is mucked up so quickly.
Wow!, Awesome drawings, and I love how you encourage your daughter
lil jay's art is awesome! she already has an "animation" style going, which is fantastic. and learning to run that Wacom will really push her forward. look up some art shows from Critical Role (the DnD people) called "Pub Draw" where professional artist for darkhorse comics shows you how to draw different types of characters. babs tarr. really fun!
This is a fantastic video. I wholeheartedly subscribe to the same philosophy for both of my boys. We upgraded the processors last year (9600k) & GPUs (RTX2070) and watercooling this past summer. Good tip about using zip ties in associated clusters! That makes so much sense. It's almost stupid to not do it!
I do that as well with the zip ties, but I also use some of those wrap around wire labels you find in most home improvement stores to keep track of fan wires. Also bought a zip tie gun to make cinching down the zip ties easier as it cuts the excess off.
3 series !!
@David Johnston I flip a lot of computers and find those wire ties broken and poking at other wire casing. Not necessarily enough to create a short, but there's a potential.
what's wrong with the 2070 ?
@@TheFalseShepphard nothing, i still use a 2080 ti
Jay's parenting style is what we need more of. Get good grades, work hard in school, and get reward. I'm tired of those parents on social media bragging about how their kid works on top of school and then the parents charge them a tax for making money to teach them hard work. No. What this teaches them is to focus on work/money more than their education first.
father daughter(s) bond is one of the most beautiful thing in the world.
It's such a delight to hear you talk about your family that way! I really hope she enjoys the upgrade.
This case looks like it's a breeze to clean. Never underestimate the virtue of removable panels; the sideways PSU is likewise a welcome addition, sick and tired of their fans normally being so hard to access.
That corsair 9:37 though. Complete crap design, so many controllers so many cables. Nobody likes cables and clutter.
yeahhhhhhhh........
sigh
O11d is one of the best case designs on the market rn... No surprise that everyone builds in them. It's legitimately that good
@@doctajuice011d not my cup of tea. Too thick, and requires too many fans. I'm looking for a space saver. With a hinged glass.
@@fynkozari9271 Then try a Lian Li Lancool II Performance model; they're great! Wouldn't swap mine for any reason...I do like that it is minimalist in appearance......
sounds like she needs some badass dust filters in there lol....DemciFilter makes a kit for like 60 dollars for that case
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just shave the dogs? 🤣
@@thecorrupt961 youd think...BUT, Dust filters are like $10...dog grooming starts at $40 every 3-6 months with a husky lol and theyre still shedding year round🤣🤣
Never apologise for rewarding your kids hard work with nice things, as a father myself i get asked constantly, 'dont you think spoiling your kids will ruin them?', hell no! if my kids are working hard at school and are good, polite hard workers im going to reward them appropriately! great job Jay, sweet PC your daughter is getting!
Jay, being proud of your kids is base and glad you have kids to be proud of.
Congrats to your daughter on her grades.
A very well deserved little upgrade
I needed this video Jay. Thank you. My i9 9900k build is due for a clean as well. Great video bud..
Your awesome Jay. What a wonderful father you are. We need more of this in the world.
you're, not your
you + are = you're
it's really adorable how proud Jay is of his daughter, it's so nice and refreshing to see a parent openly so proud and supportive.
wires... thats why i whent SL120 on my build.... had been out of PC world for about 10 year at the time of the build so did some reshearch e decided that 18 wires + controler wore to much (9 fans) so i found the at the time fresh out sl120 and whent for it, so happy i did they are amazing
Love Jay saying about the Corsair cable crap. I went over to EK/Lian Li because of it. Yes Corsair has nice fans but the cable mess I just don't want to deal with.
I would start with compressed air outside with a system like this. In my experience, that can deal with about 90% of the initial cleanup job in a few seconds. Brushes are useful but I would only use them if there were areas the compressed air couldn't get the job done.
And then there's the keyboard. Unfortunately compressed doesn't work too well.
Dang it! Thanks Jay. Now my throat is closing up and I can't breathe lol. I've seen my fair share of pet friendly PCs. Good on Little Jay for doing so well in school. I know you are super proud of her!
Love to hear how proud you are of your daughter! I know she feels that love!
Your B-roll is fantastic! You can really feel the sense of pride you have in this build.
"she might be a witch- I'm not sure".. lol I don't know why I died laughing when you said that, timing + rhythm probably. I dig all that fantasy land- fairy -winx - mage'y - wisp stuff too though. She does have a artistic mind.
Would you consider a filter for the base fans. Or would it 'sufficate' the system too much?
It would be better with a filter i think. I have filters, my temps are really good, my build is clean and the only thing i have to do is take them off once like a month and just blow the dirt off it and its done.
Lien li case should come with a filter
I love how you make a PC for your daughters (13 AND 7) my mum doesnt even let me(16) buy one from my own money. You really are the best dad ever.
With money comes convenience and comfort. Work hard so you can provide that for your kids.
I can totally relate about the dog fur. I have had 11 rescues, 9 of which were shedding machines(I have a zone variance that allows it :) ). You find dog hair in the weirdest places too. I recommend reversing the shop vac and blast it outside first. Then vac it out. The rebuild looks fantastic. Love the green!
Really awesome to see you speaking so highly and proudly of your minion...
It speaks volumes of you that you speak with such joy and pleasure about your kids is the absolute best part about this video..
The tech stuff... its informative interesting...but not nearly as awesome as you being so proud !
As an owner of a 2080Ti.... Ok, I wanted to make a snide remark, but you're being too good of a dad for me to do that. Well done, sir.
With three German shepherds, I feel your pain.
8:20 As a person that is allergic to cats, but does own multiple, I was definitely just sniffling and coughing instinctively when you were cleaning everything 🤣
I never get when people say they are allergic to cats and still have them. I literally can barely breath with one cat around how do you manage to stay alive?
We have a hairless cat at home (Sphynx)...never had issues. Only breed that doesn't trigger my wife's allergies.
@@sunnycyberbum lol well in my area they're good for the farmers in making sure no rodents, lizards, and bugs get into he crops and houses. They're good at that and are just really friendly with alot of the people here.
The ones I have are strays and more or less adopted me than me adopting them 😅
You should adopt hypoallergenic cats then, a few people in my family are allergic to cats and never had an issue with our bengals
Jay, she does deserve it. You and your wife have done a wonderful job raising beautiful children. Thank you for the great content!
that look is soo clean, really cool. Props to your daughter the world needs more kind people
I clean my computer out once a month. I can't imagine leaving it for years.
Same...but I also have an open-vertical bench rig...easy access to de-dust using a small electric blower.
I vacuum the outside of my case once to twice a month and the inside just a few times a year.
But i have pretty good filters on the case so not much dust gets inside.
You should see some pulled out of a factory. Could grow a garden in them.
Yep, once a month here too. Sometimes when I let the little ankle biter in for a while I'll do it twice a month.
Jay loves his daughter, just not enough for one of his own CPU blocks.
or the 10 4090s laying around HAHA
Man I'm glad I'm only allergic to grass and crops and stuff, that's much less likely to end up in my pc and bother me while cleaning ... btw your daughters drawings are really good!
It's humbling to know even a crazy comp guy old hardware gets used untill its forgotten a testament to you're builds kind sir thank you your daughter is lucky!
Just had one of my 10 corsair LLU's start to become really loud, lights not working properly. Going to swop them all out for 10 of these. OMG the cable management in my PC is going to be so much neater! Thank you.
I wish Jay was my dad! ahaha or had one like him. Cute upgrade and congrats to your daughter !
are you mean Daddy?? " Daddy?? " 🤔
This build helped me to find my new fans. I am going to build a Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL in early 23 and I am looking for the perfect fan... As I will use an ASUS board in my system the fans would fit perfect :) I really like this build a lot! The white and green is an awesome combination! I totally understand your daughter as green and white is also my fav combo :) Want to build something as well but I have no experience with tubing and this stuff so AiO will be the only "water based" cooling for a long time ;)
You can teach your daughter how to maintain her computer as well.
Jay, I have that Case and I can tell you if you put it on it's side (motherboard down) it A) Avoids GPU Sag and B) No Pump issues (at least on my config using an AIO).
I even added my own feet to give it some space to draw air from the bottom.
I actually have a very fun story about ICUE and corsair. I recently did a build with the lian li fans but wanted the corsair aio because lcd screen make brain go brr. But ICUE is the only software that can read the coolant temp from their aio so i can't base any of my fans off of the coolant temp which wouldnt be a problem if my cpu wasnt a 7950x that is thermal limited. So my fans were always running at max cause the cpu was always at max. So i had to use a special adapter to route the lconnect hub into the commander core so it could control the fans. You cant just plug it into the commader core because the commander core doesnt recognize it so you have to use a splitter so you can trick into thinking it is.
Really nice thing to do for your daughter I am sure she was super excited and thankful.
Pro tip from a contractor who needs to fight dust on site in very expensive homes when working.
the best way i found to collect dust is get a big box fan and use spongy cords to attach a regular FAU filter on the intake side of the fan, this system will suck up pretty much all the dust.
i hope all dads love their daughters like you do keep it up
Glad i watched. We have a Siberian as well and have yet to complete my build 🙌🏻 crazy that it gets that dirty on top of the desk even. Maybe ill keep my filters in rather than more airflow thru the case!
The story about your daughter is so heartwarming. You’re producing some great kids jay 👊
Oh, she's doing you proud man, hats off for her awesome continuous performance; straight A's mean you are an awesome dad.
The best thing I've learned watching Jay's videos. Cable management. This gave me even more food for thought for the next round.
On my previous builds you could best have described my cable management (or lack thereov) as "there seems to have been a struggle".
You are so proud of your daughter and the way you talk about her really shows that! I am getting secondhand proud from this (that's a thing, right?)
Her drawings are so good! Good luck to her. I hope she’s able to get the job she wants animating or whatever would make her happy. That pc is beautiful!
I work in automotive dealerships as a parts person. The previous dealership I was at, before the one I'm at now, I was the "Computer Guy". So when a machine needed cleaned out, I just took it to the back of the garage, grabbed an air blow gun from a tech and used shop air to clean it out. About 145PSI of shop air. Never had an issue. And here I see you being all delicate and stuff with a brush and fancy blower tool.... lol
This is my Favorite build i have seen you do. Love the color choice with the white and green. This would be my dream system if i could ever afford it. Keep up the good work.
