how do you guys keep your radiators clean?
How do you guys keep your radiators clean?
By cleaning them.
how do you do that? i tried wiping it down with a rag but i kept mashing up the metal.
By throwing them in the trash
Air cooling still remains supreme
I don't use water cooling, but I would try compressed air. Blow the air through the fins on the side without the dust.
Not using your computer is a great way to keep them clean.
watercooling is shit for this very reason.
air cooler is simple as fuck to clean and less tightly packed.
I just use a strong stream of water to get the dust out. Compressed air would also work I imagine.
Air compressor with an air gun. Works like a charm. No liquids or solvents needed.
Fan filters.
Only use outside or in a well ventilated area. This stuff can cause strokes.
By using dust filters
you can run it under a tap
Toothbrush and air compressor.
take your pc outside, plug this bitch in & watch all the dust fly, i do it every few months
By cleaning it regularly wtih a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Also I keep my computer in an another room on a table and it has filters on all intakes.
By regularly cleaning them.
Water blaster
u gotta succ the dust
I just wipe that coat of dust with cloth and then blow the fucker up, you don't need it perfectly clean, the coat of dust is what kill your temps
I literally haven't even bothered to check mine in the 5 years its been installed and occasionally I'll blow it out but temps are fine and everything works, it will get replaced eventually anyways
I don't have compressed air so I just fart on it, eventually gets all the dust.
By not smoking.
I don't check to see if it needs cleaning. ignorance is bliss
>literally buying air
I live in a first world country where people keep their living areas clean.

Why not vacuum over blowing it out?
>dust in the air is only a third-worlder problem
It's actually a cityfag problem.
