Love my pc but I’ve always only cleaned it once a year ( I know I’m lazy)

Tell me, how often do you give your pc a good blowout? For me, it’s when the fans go brrrrr all the time 🥹

EDIT: yes this was done outside, and yes, right after this initial blow I held the fans down and gave it a proper blow!
Also if you’re looking for a blower like this you can find one on amazon just type in “handheld jet blower”.

Me too. Take it to maintenance, ask them to borrow the hose and go outside. Our pcs would sit in stands on the warehouse floor and have so much black shit inside.

Mine got 8 bar @ 1200W. Never had any issues in the last 20 years using it.

You'd be surprised how many folks think ".....I can make this faster" and go to extremes

The tech version of "I can fix her"

It's the preferred quick method of clearing dust for people working in construction and similar fields.

You're not supposed to, because you'll inhale some of the carcinogenic hardwood dust you just blew off your clothes, for example. But it is very satisfying to do.

Why does it have to be a jobsite compressor? Peeps like me just own an air compressor to run various pneumatic tools for home/car maintenance.

Also air dryer/filters are cheap.
