I haven't cleaned my pc in 4 years

>>718859940 (OP)
i've owned a pc for years and i have never heard of a cleaning day specific for pc users before

Tendies have cleaning days to prevent their wife from getting pregnant by the bull

this is what happens when console kiddies don't clean their systems

>>718859940 (OP)
Never cleaned the dust from my PC's in 20 years. I'll use it until it catches fire.

consolefags don't clean?

>>718860217
B-but I thought our machines were immune to dirt! Were we lied to?!

Cleaning my prebuilt PC gives me anxiety, so I have Geek Squad do it

Maybe when I buy a new case I'll get to cleaning the parts, and by cleaning I merely mean using a duster and calling it a day.

>>718860217
Only a retard would place that bait there.

post the turkish ps4

PC gamers be like:
Can i play today or is it too hot?
Will my wife let me game today?
Is it cleaning day?
Kek what a life

>>718859940 (OP)
console gamers have to do that too
t. switch joycons stopped working after 7 years of no cleaning

>>718859940 (OP)
No we don't

>>718859940 (OP)
I cleaned my pc twice in 10 years, and only because it was hitting 80c on idle because dust had clogged all fans

>>718860245
Console users don't shower. Shocking, I know.

>>718860458
Why do you buy new cases for your parts? That's the component least affected by time.

I clean everything in my house every weekend. WTF are you niggas doing!?

>>718859940 (OP)
Yeah, I dust off my PC once a month.

>>718859940 (OP)
>not taking care of your stuff
you are brown.

>>718859940 (OP)
Are you so stupid you don't clean your console? Do you even clean your room? The dirty console peasant thing was just a meme. Holy shit.

Another Asmongold thread.

>>718859940 (OP)
I don't know a single person with a launch day PS4 that doesn't overheat and sound like a jet engine at this point
All electronics need cleaning for optimal longevity

>>718861268
>cleaning every weekend
well at least you don't have to ask yourself why you're still posting on 4chan like most of the other oldfags

>>718860776
What do you expect with shitty modern Nintendo hardware, tendie? There's a reason Nintendo had to replace countless stick drifting joycons for free after all that bad press, admitting to a fault in the design that they released knowingly.

>>718859940 (OP)
they clean their PC's but they dont clean their rooms

>>718859940 (OP)
For real? You niggas actually need to open that shit up and dust it like a cabinet?

>>718859940 (OP)
A friend of mine has a bunch of tools including an air compressor so sometimes I take my pc to his house to pop the panel off and air blast it. Gets the dust and whatever else out real good, takes about 5 seconds and I get to hang out with my friend and we chat for a bit.

It's nice.

I've never cleaned my PC, but what I have done is huff the duster gas

>>718861425
How many people with a launch day PS4 you know? All the consolefags I know already moved on.

>>718861770
This started happening like 5-6 years ago

>>718861726
Doesn't that have a chance to break your GPU by inducing too much charge through fans?

>he doesn't clean his console
Have fun with those spiders anon :)

>>718861265
Cause my current case its like 10 years old already, if not more. Plus the latest gpu I got makes it impossible for me to close the side panel cause the power cables would get bet badly, so I've been using it without the side panel, postponing getting a new case for years.

you don't clean your console?

i cant believe there are men that choose to not be clean
its just a waste
there is literally nothing cooler

>>718859940 (OP)
Huh? I never did that in 20 years kek, out frog poster OP must live in a thirdie shithole lmao

>>718861947
What is there to clean? Only thing you make contact with is the controller 99% of the time

>>718861840
its literal plastic fans not a electric generator motor
you are more likely to kill your gpu whit static electricity

>my pc has 9 fans
>3 fans on the front bringing air in
>3 on the top bringing air in
>one large exhaust fan pulling air out
>2 fans on my CPU cooler
>ive never had to dust it

Works great.

dont consoleniggers complain about roach infestations? LMAO
>bu... but I own a switch!
HAHAHAHHAHA

>oh nyooo I have to use 2 minutes to take the dustguard out and brush it off once a month
How do we recover bros?

>>718859940 (OP)
Do you not clean your consoles? Even just run over it with an air can?

i really need to clean it but im too lazy

>>718862113
dusty fingers typed this post

I just spent a grand on new pc and the video only works sometimes if I live it on for a while while its not working then restart (but one time it worked when I didn't leave it running) I hope once I manage to update the bios it works desu

>>718862038
The plastic fan is moved by a small motor, which turns into a generator if you move it too fast

I have never cleaned my PC and I leave it running all night

>>718859940 (OP)
Just buy an air filter and place it near the pc. I haven't cleaned mine in a year and there's barely any dust

>>718860134
PC fags beg for the games consoles apparently don't have. They consider it the ultimate victory when they get scraps

>>718861840
In general you don't need to hit the fans for that long or hard, and even if you do you can just hold em still.

Really you're aiming for all the corners, nooks and crannies of your case, just steel panels and framework where dust can collect that is impossible to reach. it's very convenient.

>>718859940 (OP)
Go clean the roaches out of your PS5, Pedro.

>>718861559
>Knowingly
This is Nintendo we're talking about. They still cant get online infrastructure right

>>718859940 (OP)
>Consoles don't have fans that need to be cleaned
Most intelligent consolecuck in existence...

>once every 2 years i spend less than one hour cleaning my pc

Truly a nightmare

>>718861265
Because new cases do come with new features sometimes, a dedicated slot for PSU instead of just being part of the main case, removable HDD trays, backmounted SDDs, etc.
You CAN live without all of that, but if you build shit often enough it's just so much nicer to not have to deal with a 20 year old case that's just a steel box with no features.

>>718861840
What is a diode? lol you would really have to have either a cheap ass gpu or do it purposefully. Almost all fans have diodes and the port it plugs into has a diode somewhere in the circuitry.

>>718862356
A new feature worth getting happens in like every 15 years

>>718862369
NTA but I got no idea what a fuckin diode is brother. Let's say one discreet little element in my GPU breaks and it's a 30 cent diode, it might as well be a write off for all that means to me. These things are a black box for 99.99% of people you realise

>>718862369
The model here >>718862358 is an EVGA flagship. Diodes aren't magic. They have their limits and blow up if you force too much current the wrong way.

>>718860080
You don't ever have to, practically all cases have dust filters that do actually filter most of the fucking dust that could enter it. The same shit applies to thermal paste, every time some nigger mentions that you have to reapply it I'm in fucking awe because I never, ever had to do that shit.

>>718860245
I sure do. OP is just an idiot.

.....OH
You mean like literal actual physical cleaning.
I thought you meant like cleaning files and stuff lol
Took me a while to realise.

>>718862017
maybe you should clean the tiny heatsink that's extremely prone to dust build-up and causes the console to start making plane noises after a while since the single fan needs to run at full speed to keep pushing air through that mess

>>718862434
We got usb c front ports recently but with 3d printing or some cnc you can just make your own front panel by purchasing the cables and then printing the panel

>>718862636
>PCfags wipe their butts and touch their assholes when they do like the big homos they are

>>718861840
You can just put some plastic clips on the fan frames to stop the blades from spinnning. It makes cleaning them much easier too

>>718860080
I have my PC for 6 years and I never had to clean it.
Only this year and I replaced my CPU and GPU and GPU remained pretty clean

>>718862693
USB C came out 11 years ago.

ONCE A WEEK
>vacuum house and change bed sheets
ONCE A MONTH
>weekly cleanup routine + cleaning bathroom, kitchen, windows
EVERY 6 MONTHS
>flip over mattress, wash pillow and quilt, vacuum PC parts, and clean the vacuum cleaner itself (got a cordless dyson that requires washing filter occasionally)

>>718859940 (OP)
next thing you'll learn is that you're not supposed to shit on the street

>>718861726
>>718861840
I once damaged the fans on one of my GPUs with one of those. You can make the fans spin too fast. Just grab a paint brush with the longest bristles possible (for reach) and brush the dust off. Whatever debris fall off you can just blow off. My PCs have never been cleaner since switching to brushes (with microfiber cloths). They apparently make anti-static brushes, but I've had no such issues. Plus, they don't have much reach.

>>718862265
already stolen, next jeetcope

>>718862636
lol

>>718862876
>cleaning bathroom, kitchen, windows
>monthly
That's a weekly chore

>>718860646
>PC gamers
>my wife

>>718859940 (OP)
Consoles need that too.
I do it with the ones I have

>>718862919
I believe you. As I said to the other anon I just hold the fan still if I have to concentrate on one with anything more than a passing gust of air as I fan my hand throughout the case. Just pop a finger in it, fan can't move, done and dusted. Coincidentally a thin paint brush would be ideal for this task.

i havent cleaned mine in almost 2 years. should I be worried
im scared ill find insects inside or smth

>>718863570
I dunno as a single person I find that they don't really get dirty enough in a single week to warrant full on cleaning, besides dust. Dust is a huge problem where I live, so I still vacuum.

>>718859940 (OP)
>he never changed the thermal paste in his console
lol enjoy gaming while it lasts

This thing?
Have you tried it yourself for good results?

>>718859940 (OP)
My PC is 3 years old and I have never cleaned it. I also dropped it like 3 or 4 times and broke 2 parts of its case
