You gotta turn it off first… Never use canned air… Shit is explosive, shoots potentially circuit-completing dust bunnies anywhere, and can change the temperature of things VERY VERY rapidly, then they thaw out and collect condensation… None of these things are good.
If you’re gonna clean then take your heatsinks off, take the fans off the heatsinks and get non conductive electronics cleaner, and old toothbrush and paper towels… And be THE FUCK careful. If that sounds dangerous, then just leave the dust…

Plexiglass side panels… It didn’t break but it’s still the reason your computer’s broken…

This *might* help
You should plug it off before cleaning
I’m cleaning mine with leaf blower for part 20 years
Reseat CMOS battery. My MSI board likes to scare the shit out of me and not POST when I touch anything.
What does this have to do with engineering
Or, knowing this sub, ends with glass side of the case smashed on the porcelain floor.
