My computer is 90% dust. Last cleaned it a few years ago. Should probably do it again some time...

Havn't cleaned my pc in about 2months, prolly time to do so soon. You can tell it's a bit dusty due to the fan-sound, usually it is super quiet, but now you can hear it.

Thankfully my new computer's case has washable air filters behind the 2 front intake fans and on the optional side panel fan mount. My old desktop when I opened it after having it for years just had balls of dust everywhere (probably because it only had an exhaust fan). Cleaning a computer probably improves performance as much if not more so that defragmenting the HDD (which is another good thing to do about every moth or so).

My laptop kept overheating whenever I played SC2 for longer than 20 minutes and I was reduced to putting an ice tray beneath my computer. Then my friend told me how silly I was and that I should try cleaning it. To my surprise my video card's fan was caked in dust. After cleaning it, all is well (almost).

how do you clean a laptop? i mean i cannot find anything to open up, i can remove the battery and that's it as far as i saw,

edit: and one more spot, but i opened it up and there was no dust there, i dont really know how 'd you call that.

but i'm pretty sure it's dusty in there as it starts to be noisy and overheats

I don't think so, I have tried it once and I couldn't find a way to take off the back though I took of all screws I have heard about using a dust off spray but I don't know how to use it :/

cleaning a laptop is such a bitch, your gonna have to take a million screws off and pop your keyboard out, just be very careful


yeah exactly, I have no idea to take it off I tried it once but I couldn't find a way to take the back off. It's a pain in the ass T_T and I really need to take it off because my laptop is like 50 degrees non-stop

as for the dust.. idk tap them off, but not too hard!

Does opening the side panel of the computer enough to keep it from overheating? I leave it open because the thing is pretty warm even when clean.

it might, but i don't because all the dust can get trapped between all your hardware, and it may even cause a fire.

It's impossible, I need to take the back off in order to clean the heat fan. I wouldn't be surprised if it is full of dust ;(

lol i hear you kona. my parents' computer kept shutting down whenever it was doing something resource intensive, but of course TL helped me out

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=132579

The problem ended up being too much dust in the fan, cpu, and heatsink. Cleaned that stuff out (there was sooo much) and now the computer works great!
