    Thank you for reminding me to do something I should have done 2 or even 3 years ago. Lumps of dust were lurking at the bottom of the case, and the dark grey dirt and grime that I removed from the fan and heat sink were shocking. I went through countless cotton buds.
    The CPU is running far, far cooler now. In fact I am astonished at the difference, and "Core Temp" software proves it !

    I'm from Poland and thanks for that vid, a neat little reminder how to properly handle compressed air and PC. Summer started, it's hot and it's been at least a year since last time I was cleaning my PC and when I tried it it was too cold outside and my can was getting freezing cold and was refusing to blow the air quickly which cut off my cleaning process in the middle of it.

  • @Psychx_
    @Psychx_ 6 лет назад +240

    The liquid that comes out of these cans is organic solvents (difluoroethane with this product) which do not conduct electricity and evaporate within a few minutes without leaving residue. Also, you should only use computer duster in well ventilated rooms or outside. That stuff is toxic.
    Further more, it is not the chemistry that cools the can but the physics. The process is called adiabatic cooling.

If you are able to save for later use, is there an unsafe way to store? Can doesn't say. Appreciate the help.

    I cleaned my computer with the wrong canned air and now I can't get my monitor to connect to computer (no signal) I tried connecting a different computer to my monitor and it worked. Any advice, I've tried multiple cables and different ports. I'm out of options😭😭
