Eep! That poor rig! I make it a point to air clean all rigs in my house every 6 months.Teoes said:

nice video, behind the scenes are indeed interesting to watch to remind us how much work is actually put in to it. i never could use a program like this. could not even work it out how to use it. just know how to use win movie maker since it was pretty simple to use.

No camera crews should be allowed in my house; I rest my laptop on very fluffy and fibrous blankets, and the last compressed air I used was from the public library.
Clearly this is one of those reality shows.
there is no north bridge power connector, Tower Heatsincs are not stock, the GTX 970 fan should be on the outer end of the card, and the ram is not in a duel channel.
So the computer would have never ran in the first place and was setup for the show to boost ratings.

As is the way of our people, I shall engage in this game of one-upsmanship.Teoes said:Check this: nor have I ever formatted/re-installed Windows on it, despite the amount of time it takes to boot up every day.LordLundar said:
I have two laptops which are both approaching 5+ years of age, neither have ever been formatted, neither have received a Windows Update since 2011/2012 (though to be fair, Windows Update is the worst), and the last time I used compressed air on the fans was likely over a year ago now. And I don't know how it is in other places, but Vermont is a relatively dusty state.
I do routinely wipe down the fan outer screens for my gaming laptop, though.
This hits very close to home. I just cleaned my tower last weekend. Poor thing had dust bunnies totally covering the intake for the power supply. I don't know how it was still running.
This reminds me, I've cleaned my PC plenty of times but never took out my 4 year old GTX 580s to clean them specifically. I'm really worried I'll tear the sli bridge or just break something else.
Should I be worried about taking them out to clean the fans or am really overstating how fragile Graphics Cards are?

Wow good thing I cleaned out my case and replaced the stock cooler last week otherwise I'd be feeling pretty guilty right now.

Give some bitcoins a month to save the endangered PCs.
Owners of PCs aren't looking after them properly. Leaving them in their own filth. Alone and untouched. Do not make it too late to give to this cause and care for one today. PCs are important to our planet and it's good to care.
Please. They need your help.

In my experience, they are far more durable than they seem. I do get a little heart attack when I take a graphics card out. If you're too afraid of damaging your cards, let someone with experience show you how it's done first or watch a YouTube video if that would be sufficient.kajinking said:
