This cleaning/dusting is something that needs to be done several times over the life of a PC. I recommend to get a set of ESD safe brushes and use them to loosen up the dust before blowing it out of your PC with compressed air or w duster. It helps with the stubborn dust that can get stuck in filters, fans, heatsink fins, and nooks and crannies I also recommend never to go anywhere near your components with a vacuum cleaner as they can cause static damage
@@ChaivreMaurteFor most home PCs blowing out the dust a every few months is more than enough. If you have pets or live in a dusty environment you may need to clean it more often. Most people typically don’t need a major take apart clean more often than once or twice a year.
I'm doing it tomorrow. I'll head over to micro center to get everything I may need. JESUS! From which of the 9 circles of hell did you get that pfp from?
One thing i was always told and have always done was. After powering it down. Switch off. Unplug. Push the power up button to get rid of any left over power in the system. Not sure if its true or not but just have always taken that extra step.i have actually gotten the power button led light up while unplugged and switched off
@@adamtherealoneI came to learn how to clean my pc but I found a group of people who make me feel much better about not cleaning my pc for so long! 3 years in and todays the day! Lmao
I bought an ibuypower pc a few months ago and I’ve been blown away by not only the performance, but the resources put out by you guys. Such a great video for people who are new to the PC world like myself. Thank you so much!
Mine is awesome. I'm not a pc guy by any means. so take my opinion at that, but I play Ready or Not, Fallout, Skyrim, and have even ran VR games. Re4 Remake... you get it. For someone who wanted a prebuilt PC that plays modern games, mine as been awesome. I didn't mind paying a bit more for a prebuilt, though doing the math I would have saved maybe 100-200 bucks at most. Mine is a 3070. Great PC.
To make your case stay clean for longer, make sure your case fans are setup in a positive pressure configuration to minimize dust buildup in the case. To accomplish this, have more fans drawing air in than exhausting air, and have the intake fans covered with a filter. This way, any places that aren't covered with a filter will be blowing air out rather than sucking air (and thus dust) in. The filters will catch the dust before it has a chance to get into the case. Remove the filters and vacuum them monthly for best results.
i mean i hear that is the case (no pun) but i just swapped mine from 3 out and 2 in to 3 in and 2 out 3 weeks ago and i already see dust inside whereas before it took a while before any dust built up hmmm.
Havent cleaned my PC since I bought it and it hasnt accumulated any dust or barely any. Still, Im going to remove all the components next week and clean everything, apply new thermal paste and have it just as new. So this is definitely helpful
One thing I found which helps prevent major build ups of dust is having an air purifier. I have one between my door and tower and the dust inside my PC is a fraction of what it once was. Helps buy you some time if you're lazy between cleaning cycles.

Also if you are removing CPU cooler for cleaning, then turn on your PC for CPU to heat up a little so that processor chip does not stick to the cooler if you attempt to remove cooler.
Also, if you have a CPU with pins on it (AMD CPUs before 7000 series are most common), twist the cooler back and forth to break the seal. Don't use a lot of force when doing this, as you don't want to shear any pins off by accident!
@CJW0056 thermal paste often causes the cooler to stick to the CPU pretty tight. If you have a PGA CPU, you will want to twist the cooler before removal, or you risk ripping the CPU out of the socket and breaking pins
Just tried watching some guy's video with 2mil views. Had to turn it off because it was so tedious. Thank you for making a direct, & comprehensive guide.
use an old fashioned painters brush that is new and has never been used for painting, that will clean and remove a lot of dust, and use a hand vacuum next to were your cleaning so it picks up the dust that doesn't fall immediately
I bought an IBuyPower Element when Ryzen first launched. Got the 7 1700 and this thing is still going strong to this day! Upgraded gpus twice and added 2 more sticks of ram. Cant go wrong with IBP.
I didn't know how to take out the front panel of my case. I thought it was not meant to be opened. Turns out I have those O ring style plastic clips and there was a place under the panel to pull it out. I was able to finally clean the annoying dust buildup in the front of my case thanks to this video lol 😂
I think the biggest thing is when it comes to using a brush attachment on a vacuum, which most would assume you would be using. With that the bristles will hold a lot of charge, which is why they make anti static attachments for PCs. But yeah I wouldn’t really feel comfortable doing what he’s doing here either.

Does your dust filter underneath the front panel slide out or pop off with magnets? If it's the pop off filter, you can press it off from the inside of the PC (remove side panel) and then pull it out with some pliers from the outside top front air space (from top of front panel).

I was wondering if there was also a way to open the front of a Gaming RDY SMRBG203 case. I cannot find it on your store or any videos on it to clean it. i have no idea if that is the exact pc i have but it was the most identical one i could find. Ive had mine 3 years and have never been able to open the fron part to clean the fan area..
How do I get rid of the hooks that are square shaped I forgot about a fan for a year because I got the pc as hand me down when I was 12 and I’m 14 trying to dust the fan
very helpful work i have there pc and it works wonders it runs smoothly but the storage I need to up more I just don't know that much about the storage unit on my PC
This was very helpful, thank you. I'm glad I can incorporate a vaccum for certain areas and not just empty an entire can of compressed air. I need to clean my keyboard too.
I would also like to clean the fan of my cpu is it safe to use a vaccuum? And my front 3 fans of my case arent spinning. Is there an easy fix for it? Couldnt find an answer on the internet.
I need new case i try to clean my aircool ds200 with some cleanig prodacts but the dust is like glow to the outside of the case plastic material and o can clean it now is like sticky any good prodact i can use so i grt rid of that ????
It's ALWAYS best to use compressed air or electric duster instead. Vacuum can generate static electricity which (in case you don't know) fries your motherboard.
Thanks for guide, can be really taunting to open case In fear off breaking something. Had Same case, helped alot. And there was alot Off dust In frontpanel causing overheat. Now my computer is happily flowing cold air :) me and my computer thank you :)
could i ask which compressed air you used as when i used it i tried to get all the liquid out first then i tried using it on my componants and a small drop came out when i was spraying and it scared the shi outta me
@@johnmorgan933 I didnt use compressed air, did use vacuum and when i got front panel Off, did take filter out and clean it. I would get scared too, if that happened to me :O if in future use compressed air, will propaply try some from computer store, just to be safe :(

@@Kevin-oj2rb Problem is with compresed air its too much type of it one its inflamable one let some white thinnk if i usee too much idk what type to use and what brand its the best for pc clean ....
@@ghostt5135 idk what that white thing may be, but it could be due to the condensation, that's why you may feel the can a little bit wet. Use the compressed air only a few secods each round, when you feel that the can is cold and wet, let it rest for a few minutes.
would it be smarter to use a electric duster from amazon or air can. im so nervous to mess something up or get shocked somehow ive never owned a pc until a month ago
If you completely unplug the Computer, then touching the case of the computer isn't going to ground the shock is it? Wouldn't you have to use a grounding mat?
@@MohamedAli-sk5hl Sorry for the late reaction, I don't know if it's still usefull but you can use the nossle for the harder to clean parts like the fans and the coolers. You don't necesarily need the nossle for for example the fan grills or the case interior.
But what if you cant get the dust out of the power supply area by just blowing it with a can of air? And how do you clean the platform looking thing in the pc?
I'm gonna need to get some Philips screws, but it's nice that the company that made my computer made a tutorial for this stuff! Bookmarking it for later, thanks!
If you used compressed air, be sure to not tip the can as it can cause a liquid to come out. I bought an electric keyboard blower online that charges by usb-c and it works great
I have a pre built hp omen 25L gaming pc and I'm afraid to disassemble any other parts than the glass sidepanel because i don't know too much about pcs. Is it safe to just take off the side and clean everything as much as I can with a dry fiber cloth and compressed air? Also do I need to hold the fans still so they don't move when blowing on it? Someone please help would be much appreciated ! 🙏
You thought a tech RUclipsrs vid would actually be helpful for the inexperienced? Lol they are all useless and are very mis informative. First of all you never use compressed air and blow moisture into your PC, this can destroy your PC. yes hold fans still, again, this guy didn't say that even though it's VERY important. dont do a motor compressor either as these can build up moisture. Don't wipe with a cloth either as i believe that can build up static as well unless there's a way to ground yourself, i just dont know too much about static electricity. Now what i DO recommend is getting a blowing or sucking vacuum that is designed for PC's that don't build up moisture or static. also get some PC cleaning brushes designed not to get static in your pc when brushing if there is any dust the PC safe vacuum won't knock loose. i don't know specific brands but just type those keywords into google and I'm sure you'll find something on Amazon or something for those products. I don't know if there even is another way to clean it without risking damaging the PC! Thats all i know so far as I'm still learning myself but I'm more helpful than the RUclipsrs
It really did help bc my biggest issue was getting to the fans to clean them off all to see I could of just pulled a little more. Lol any other time in life that’s not the answer.. thank you!!!
@@noscoped7557 mine was completely caked with dust on the front filter (which is plastic and not disposable). I used a clean dry toothbrush and a vacuum with a hose. I tried to brush the dust into the vacuum. Other than that, I found that I had so much dust built up that the can of compressed air did literally nothing. I was too paranoid to take off the fan/heatsink for the CPU so I took toothpicks and dug out the fins one by one. Overall there was much more I could have done, but I was pretty happy with the results, and I was sick of it after 2 hours. But I definitely get much better temps and airflow now that I've cleaned it.

We’ve all sinned guys. We’ve lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, and more. We now need to repent and trust that Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross. This is very urgent tomorrow isn’t promised. Our works can’t save us but Jesus can!
so with the compressed air, i just, point and shoot?
I was wondering if there was also a way to open the front of a Gaming RDY SMRBG203 case. I cannot find it on your store or any videos on it to clean it. i have no idea if that is the exact pc i have but it was the most identical one i could find. Ive had mine 3 years and have never been able to open the fron part to clean the fan area..
This is extremely helpful. I will contact support if I need any further assistance, but this is a huge help. Thank you!
i have the slate case how do i remove the front panel?
Remove it :))
How do I get rid of the hooks that are square shaped I forgot about a fan for a year because I got the pc as hand me down when I was 12 and I’m 14 trying to dust the fan
Thanks, now need to replace a grinding fan on the front but the power from it goes back behind a wall and that side doesnt come off?
very helpful work i have there pc and it works wonders it runs smoothly but the storage I need to up more I just don't know that much about the storage unit on my PC
Can you make a video on howbto unclog your aio pumps
Are you sure that I touch PC case while doing with vacuum? Maybe I should hold speakers or something instead?
I have had my pc for 2 years and I live in an area with a ton of construction so when I opened up my pc I new I needed to clean it out thanks
Ibuypower will make anything
0:19 what was living in your pc and did you call the exterminator?
Its like those pictures of dead rats in cases
This was very helpful, thank you. I'm glad I can incorporate a vaccum for certain areas and not just empty an entire can of compressed air. I need to clean my keyboard too.
Thank you very much this was really helpful it is important to know how to properly take care of you computer
I didn't have the paddles or little hooks. I'm so confused and my filter for my front fans came loose while trying to figure it out. I need help :(
i really need help on taking off the front panel or the trace MR case please
I would also like to clean the fan of my cpu is it safe to use a vaccuum? And my front 3 fans of my case arent spinning. Is there an easy fix for it? Couldnt find an answer on the internet.
Thanks I thought using a vacuum that close to a PC would potentially damage it and seeing that it is safe made cleaning much easier ☺️ thank you!
your pc still work lol?
@@anubisbahamut yup nothing happened. I didn't vacuum the motherboard or anything though
Am I not supposed to touch and dust off the motherboard? and any other sensitive components?
I need new case i try to clean my aircool ds200 with some cleanig prodacts but the dust is like glow to the outside of the case plastic material and o can clean it now is like sticky any good prodact i can use so i grt rid of that ????
I have my tower on the floor and damn, this video really helped me. I thought I couldn't vacuum the pc but it seems its safe if it's done carfeully
It's ALWAYS best to use compressed air or electric duster instead. Vacuum can generate static electricity which (in case you don't know) fries your motherboard.
this was actually rlly good
Thanks for guide, can be really taunting to open case In fear off breaking something. Had Same case, helped alot. And there was alot Off dust In frontpanel causing overheat. Now my computer is happily flowing cold air :) me and my computer thank you :)
could i ask which compressed air you used as when i used it i tried to get all the liquid out first then i tried using it on my componants and a small drop came out when i was spraying and it scared the shi outta me
@@johnmorgan933 I didnt use compressed air, did use vacuum and when i got front panel Off, did take filter out and clean it. I would get scared too, if that happened to me :O if in future use compressed air, will propaply try some from computer store, just to be safe :(
@@CCImmune lol it turns out i was holding it wrong. u have to hold it upright at all times, if it falls on the floor you have to wait a white for the liquid to go to the bottom. cleaned my pc good thanks for the advice
Very detailed explanation thank you!
You show how to clean pc but dust on gpu metal part how clean can i use vacum ????? can harm gpu if i put up vacum to take dust from metal part that part up not inside gpu outside just
It's better to just remove the dust with compressed air or a microfibre cloth. Don't use a vacuum near the gpu
@@Kevin-oj2rb near like no touch it the gpu ? but if i just take some dust from wires can harm it ?
@@Kevin-oj2rb and i use vacum to clear 2 vent of case i dont think i harm pc ?
@@Kevin-oj2rb Problem is with compresed air its too much type of it one its inflamable one let some white thinnk if i usee too much idk what type to use and what brand its the best for pc clean ....
@@ghostt5135 idk what that white thing may be, but it could be due to the condensation, that's why you may feel the can a little bit wet. Use the compressed air only a few secods each round, when you feel that the can is cold and wet, let it rest for a few minutes.
I really needed this, thank you!
Isn't it supposed to be left plugged in (obviously turned off, though) in order to be grounded??
How do u take of the front panel 😊
Does somebody know can i use a air blower for the.power supply
Is it bad to leave that front panel off? I have the element MR and the airflow is bad bc of the glass in front
How do i open the front panel for the slatemr 281a?
I can’t pull my front panel out.. I’m not a physically strong person so uh.. is there another way to clean it...?
Wtf I think your doing it wrong
@@lizardsempire5770 i got it to open, im just weakly built
@@Khromatic_ how did you get it to open, I just can't.
@@micahcantu5905 I just had to grip the bottom and hold the rest with my other hand. Then I just had to keep pulling it
@@Khromatic_ I got it! Thank you!
would it be smarter to use a electric duster from amazon or air can. im so nervous to mess something up or get shocked somehow ive never owned a pc until a month ago
can I use balloon pump? I don't have compresed air
Tryed pulling on the circular hooks almost broke my hand and pc thanks guys that was useful information
My front panel is really dirty but, it's not letting me take the plate off
If you completely unplug the Computer, then touching the case of the computer isn't going to ground the shock is it? Wouldn't you have to use a grounding mat?
Quick question, if I don’t have compressed air (and I don’t plan on using it) what substitutes can I use when cleaning my motherboard?
You can probably buy it for $2 at your local best buy or a store like that
I ordered compressed air and it came today but it came without the nozzle attachement. Do I need the nozzle attachement to clean my pc?
@@MohamedAli-sk5hl Sorry for the late reaction, I don't know if it's still usefull but you can use the nossle for the harder to clean parts like the fans and the coolers. You don't necesarily need the nossle for for example the fan grills or the case interior.
But what if you cant get the dust out of the power supply area by just blowing it with a can of air? And how do you clean the platform looking thing in the pc?
I just recently bought a used pc setup, and im planing to flip it, but almost all components smell off, so how should i clean them
I'm gonna need to get some Philips screws, but it's nice that the company that made my computer made a tutorial for this stuff! Bookmarking it for later, thanks!
If you used compressed air, be sure to not tip the can as it can cause a liquid to come out. I bought an electric keyboard blower online that charges by usb-c and it works great
I have you pc slateMr it has 8gb of ram and 1060 rtx with 7.9 memory how or which componets to upgrade with
I have a pre built hp omen 25L gaming pc and I'm afraid to disassemble any other parts than the glass sidepanel because i don't know too much about pcs.
Is it safe to just take off the side and clean everything as much as I can with a dry fiber cloth and compressed air? Also do I need to hold the fans still so they don't move when blowing on it? Someone please help would be much appreciated ! 🙏
You thought a tech RUclipsrs vid would actually be helpful for the inexperienced? Lol they are all useless and are very mis informative. First of all you never use compressed air and blow moisture into your PC, this can destroy your PC. yes hold fans still, again, this guy didn't say that even though it's VERY important. dont do a motor compressor either as these can build up moisture. Don't wipe with a cloth either as i believe that can build up static as well unless there's a way to ground yourself, i just dont know too much about static electricity.
Now what i DO recommend is getting a blowing or sucking vacuum that is designed for PC's that don't build up moisture or static. also get some PC cleaning brushes designed not to get static in your pc when brushing if there is any dust the PC safe vacuum won't knock loose. i don't know specific brands but just type those keywords into google and I'm sure you'll find something on Amazon or something for those products. I don't know if there even is another way to clean it without risking damaging the PC!
Thats all i know so far as I'm still learning myself but I'm more helpful than the RUclipsrs
Thanks alot i cleaned the dust from the intake and my pc is more quiet and it dosent get hot fast
Thank you so much for these subtitles! This needs to be more common! :)
It really did help bc my biggest issue was getting to the fans to clean them off all to see I could of just pulled a little more. Lol any other time in life that’s not the answer.. thank you!!!
Haven’t touched mine in two and a half years 😳 definitely time to clean.
Can I plug the pc with the power plug while power is off to remove any static build-up instead of putting one hand on the pc?
can you say more things about that static things?
I have a similar pc as that but my I buy power logo won’t light up in the front bottom any suggestions??
Is it a coincidence that I found this video while wanting to clean my ibuypower prebuilt? 6 years and still running great.
I have a prebuilt and I'm scared as hell to try and clean it. Any tips that wasn't mentioned in the video?
@@noscoped7557 mine was completely caked with dust on the front filter (which is plastic and not disposable). I used a clean dry toothbrush and a vacuum with a hose. I tried to brush the dust into the vacuum. Other than that, I found that I had so much dust built up that the can of compressed air did literally nothing. I was too paranoid to take off the fan/heatsink for the CPU so I took toothpicks and dug out the fins one by one. Overall there was much more I could have done, but I was pretty happy with the results, and I was sick of it after 2 hours. But I definitely get much better temps and airflow now that I've cleaned it.
how do u prevent the cold water from coming out the compressed can that why i dont use them
Try using it in shorter intervals. The liquid can come out if you spray for too long at a time.
what if I use a blower? like the air duster I am planing to buy does vaccum and blow
That’s what I did.
