isnt there a reason we dont use generic run of the mill compressors on PCs? all the PC ones ive seen are labelled as ESD safe.

im thinking heatsinks and motherboards here more than desks

fuck

share your wisdom with me, user

i mean i could but i hear cheap ones perform poorly

these safe? ive got one for my bike but its kind of used with 0 regard for how clean it is.

Fuck up redditor

You can buy some air blower on aliexpress for like 20$, it gives you air, you don't need more
Just remember to tape the fans (if they spin it can create electricity) and not to touch directly the components

>Depending on model those can spit particles of oil out in their output.
That literally does not matter.

>isnt there a reason we dont use generic run of the mill compressors on PCs? all the PC ones ive seen are labelled as ESD safe.

Because they are loud as fuck and produce a shitload of heat.

so whats my best options without shelling out a fuckload of dosh?

Why is that bike pump connected to that pipe

Buy a case without a window and ignore the dust until it starts causing thermal issues.

I just blow everything, who cares

It's keeping the house airborne, UP-style.

less than 3 dollars, works better than those squeeze things

only downside is that it takes two hands to use

no ESD issues?

that's what your mom said about my dick

>ESD
>from pressurized air

A compressor is a heavy electric motor driving a steel piston very rapidly up and down within a steel sleeve, it's a perfectly reasonable question.

i dont fucking know, my science education consisted almost entirely of rocks and braniac episodes.

>the air is gonna blow the static onto your computer

Those will be good for dusting your anime figurines, for cleaning PCs they are useless.

based. Mine's an air bed pump

clean?

How long does your desiccant last before you have to change it?

I recently used a small shopvac with the hose hooked up to the outlet, and the narrow nozzle at the end. It got rid of almost all of the dust. Thing is like a fire hose, though. Can't hold it too close to the components, it'll fuck them up.

I have a DataVac
can this shit actually damage fans by spinning fast while it's off? how do I keep all of my fans still at once

Imagine paying for AIR

>it's a perfectly reasonable question.
no it isn't. you forgot the part where the air gets turned into an electrically conductive plasma steam like a proton pack out of GhostBusters

It's not a desiccant, it's some kind of filter thing that makes water condense in the container. It vents when the pressure on the output goes low, and I've never had to manually empty it.

cant afford an air blower so I use a sock. Hand inside the sock for rubbing down larger parts and a chopstick inside the sock for harder to reach places like case fan blades.

>cant afford an air blower
literally 20$
literally 2000% better than your dirty sock

Yup, its what I've been doing for 20 years on dozens of PCs and I've never once had a single issue.
About twice a year I'll take my PC in to the garage and blow that fucker out.
Done it with 486s all the way up to modern PCs.

why spend $20 when a sock works you air-blower shill

Yeah, of course it works

>tfw want DataVac ESD
>live in Shithole Denmark
>you cant get it here with the danish happy plug

Fuck everything.

They do have specific models like the DataVac for it.

What's the least retarded way to clean a monitor?

spit on it and wipe away with a clean t shirt

Is that an enema?

thanks japeet

>I'll take my PC in to the garage and blow that fucker out.
This, me too... no problems & have done it for refurbs too. Using a can of air is like trying to wipe your ass with a qtip.

soap and water

Slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Rude but based

Just open it and scrub all the dust with a used brush. No $ needed.

Tissue paper to wipe off the cum and the splatters to the keyboard and monitor at the same time. Cum makes a good cleaning agent desu.

I use an air compressor like any sane person

>made of plastic
>you move it's parts against each other to pump air
figure it out

registry cleaner pro

I use brush and my mouth to BLOW the dust.

holy shit.
why would anyone pay that?
all you need to do is paint the end of your vacuum with a mix of school glue and graphite powder and then put a grounding strap on it.
static electricity is not hard to defeat.
$100... wow, people are retarded.
$2 for glue, $10 for graphite powder, $30 for grounding strap with plug.
i should start a company.

cleaning the computer if it still works and has no temperature issues is pointless and will only serve to shorten its life span

Stick something on them or hold them while blowing on them. Friend pretty much dried out the oil on two of his fans. Had to open them up and oil it.
