the problem with high pressure air cleaning is that they spin the fans so fast while cleaning that its almost guaranteed that the fans will die.

Thanks notlist3d for being nice to this guy Wink

talwinder,you are a moron for letting your gear get that bad Roll Eyes

I bet you buy a new PC every few years from Dell/HP Cheesy

I wonder what inside your house looks like Shocked

No problem I try to help with being nice I figure me being mean to someone really does not help them learn. It honestly scared me seeing all that dust I hope OP got it cleaned out we never did get a report back.

I personally use a air compressor with miners that have mined long term to clean. Lately it seems some have tried different things on fan's to try to prevent dust which I find interesting. I still have not put any filters up as I'm scared to hurt airflow. Monitoring and cleaning is kinda a part of life when you run miners long term. But I have never had one reach near this level I am happy to say.

I've built gaming rigs for the past 16 years now (I ship them all over the US) & I ALWAYS recommend an air compressor instead of canned air,like you said,just hold the fans as you blow around & thru them Grin

Oh & watch for condensation being blown on your motherboard & stuff.Just sit the PC in the sun for 3 hrs or let it sit overnight to evaporate the water BEFORE you plug it in & turn it on.

I run into customers PCs that are almost as bad,the worst was a gal who used incense,it had caked up on all the fans,heatsink's,PSU.Musta been about 4 years worth Roll Eyes

I was able to blow it all out & used a toothbrush & little screwdrivers as picks.It amazingly started up & is still working about 3 years now Cheesy
