Why are the ones with dirty pcs always telling us to clean ours?

For 3 years I’d say that’s not as much dust as the ones I’ve seen.

I just restored a old cooler master case today that I got from a good friend of mine. Took it all apart gave it a nice bath and all.
I’m amazed at how bad so many nice systems that have come into places I have worked for that were nice rigs treated like absolute trash. I’ve always been a super bargain hunter and I treat my rigs like it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Got gifted this workstation with a decent Xeon in it. Cleaned that up took it all apart etc. Slowly been working the local swaps, ebay, etc. Working on a mobo (nightmare prices are insane for x99 lol) and be ready to slap the cooler master together. But, kinda always been that way. Low budget hustle and treat my rig like it’s a Classic Bugatti.

Please hold your fans in place when you do this! If you spin them faster than they are rated, you can ruin the internal bearings, and if you spin them backwards, cheaper fans can act as a generator and send voltage back to your board, potentially making your system a very expensive paperweight.

Never. This bad boy has a layer of armor on it that will protect it through the darkest of days.

The neglect is real. Clean your PC at least once a month.

I try to do it every 6 months to a year. It wasn’t even bad 6 months ago. I just cleaned a thin layer of dust off and nothing came out the fans.

Clean your house and you don’t have to do this.

For god’s sake, wear a mask. That is how you get bacterial pneumonia.

I clean my dustfilters every month or 2 they prevent things like that

You kinda not want to have the fans spin when cleaning.
First it can spin too fast and break the bearing and second it can create a charge that can ruin ur pc.

My house is clean, therefore my PC is clean.

did you unplug your fans? because that spinning the fans with a blower can cause a current to flow back into your board.
