I wish I had something to do with my computer and probably looking at it going.

What can I do?

It was a couple things you could do.

How about we start by cleaning it?

Now's a better time than ever to spring clean your computer today.

We're gonna show you how.

If you can't tell I like coach right now where you've got probably a lot of extra free time on your hands.

Why don't you start playing with boats, too?

With water worships, you can command a massive naval fleet featuring some of history's most iconic war vessels, including the Came as Bismarck.

Recently, World War ships went through a complete graphical overhaul, making it look even more realistic than it did before and with hyper accurate, realistic looking models based off the actual blueprints and three D scans of the real ships, there is life like as it could possibly be.

New players that sign up using my link in the description below are gonna get a pretty awesome starter pack.

You'll get 700 blooms, one million credits, seven days of premium time the Japanese ship Isha's UCI and the USS Charleston.

With that pack, you'll get off to a pretty good start, but not good enough to take me on you.

Welcome to try.

I'll find you out there.

I promise.

So this is our file server.

This is where all of our files and all of our things reside.

And we hope we backed it up properly before we have unplugged everything and whatever.

So it's been running for, I don't know, at least six months, maybe longer.

Nonstop 24 7 sitting on the floor in our office, which is super dusty because this is a warehouse in an environment in the desert where it's windy.

And to get it clean, this and then you're gonna need we're gonna start with, of course, tools.

If you need tools to take apart your computer, then look no farther than I fix it.

I fix.

It has everything you need to fix your stuff.

Link in the description below.

But in all seriousness, they had, like small, medium large kids.

Magnetic pads, custom bits, not we'll cut some specialty bits to take apart not only your computers, but any small electronics and they obviously fight the good fight for right to repair.

So if you guys want to learn more about the ethics of kids that are available, check the link in the description below.

But we don't actually need tools to take this system apart, because this is the fractal design are six.

We do have all the filters on here.

Actually, I don't normally leave.

Yeah, they're on there.

I don't really leave filters on systems, but we knew that this was gonna be running 24 7 And, yeah, it's a white top because I stole the great top for that Camaro themed 01 building it a while back.

And it's actually not that dusty, because this is an exhaust.

So that was from the inside.

Yeah.

Anyway, um so really got the top.

You can already see how dusty it is on the top as exhaust.

It's like flying around everywhere.

This is gonna get kind of gross because one of the first tools that I would really use for this is like a computer back there.

There, there vacuums that you can get have special anti static, static, anti static bristles on them so that as you're like brushing and doing your thing.

You're not creating static electricity and then getting potential SD destroying some of your stuff so I don't have that I have the opposite.

This'd is my comp u cleaner dot com, which I don't even think that's the brand anymore.

It's just I got it off eBay, and this has a low and high speed setting for blowing air.

Disclaimer.

If you take the the disclaimer if he got caught on the thing.

If you take the path of blowing the dust out, you're just moving it to somewhere else.

So you're probably gonna have to do a full dusting or cleaning of your desk in your room or what ever is flying around in my face, too?

Get rid of the dust.

That's why the vacuum, which I don't have any of the buyer, would be the better option cause it will suck up the dust, keep it filtered inside the little bag and you cleaned out afterwards.

This, on the other hand, a CZ you can see will cause dust to fly everywhere, so we're in a J warehouse, so that's not so bad for us.

But if you're in your house doing this.

You're just going to see it land everywhere else.

So it's going Take the side panel off and take a look inside like it doesn't look that bad, but I guess it depends what the driver looked like.

Oh, look at the side right here, though.

So all the air comes all the air comes in from the side right there, and we've got this wall of hard drives.

These there are 10 terabyte, um, iron wolf pro drives with just just so bad because not the drives but the dust.

So let's do it.

The bottom looks like to I don't need bottom fans on here, but so you could see where the power supply waas, spiderwebs, even.

Ah, so it looks like if I take this off, it doesn't look so bad from behind.

I forgot how well I cable managed this, cause I was like, we need to be able to easily replace drives if they go bad.

And that pretty do that.

Wow, I really step up my game these days.

So what?

I what I typically do when I sprinkling a computer as I take off all the panels that are not essential to the structure of the case.

So for they are six, I've taken off the front cover the glass panel, obviously the top filter, the bottom filter.

And I'm probably gonna take out the graphics card, too, which is a perfect opportunity to stab myself in the stomach with my I fix it.

So this is actually a Titan.

Ex Pascal, Big P.

This is the first Titan, not the second Titan.

And I'm taking this card out because of the fact that I want to clean out the blower cooler in it because this is the type of card that takes the air and pushes it through it.

That means it's also taking all the dust and pushing it through it.

And considering the amount of dust that sitting on the card, I don't even want to know how much dust is sitting in the card just also gives me an opportunity to blow off any Gus that might be forming on our raid card.

There is dust sitting here on our 10 g network card to see all the dust down there.

I think a lot of the dust, quite honestly, has stopped by the radiator and the hard drive.

Because you can see there's a lot of resistance here in term.

It's just like a big chunk of drives and then the rest of the system, and any airflow is actually cooling the drives, which is kind of nice.

Let's go ahead and serious.

You could see really not that bad.

The amount of dust it's sitting on the back plate.

If you've got any pets or you smoke or you Vape near your computer, it probably a lot worse because nicotine and Vape, uh, paper and all that stuff can kind of create a sticky residue that will work its way into your computer.

And then the dust will stick to that if that ends up being the case, and you need to clean that sort of thing.

Used alcohol wipes.

Yes, alcohol is pretty bad for plastic, but so is water and moisture when it comes to electronics.

Now, if you got this wet, it wouldn't hurt.

The system is all this powered.

Often all the capacitors are discharged, which you could do by.

Just push the power button with it unplugged.

But as long as you wet this down with like alcohol wipes or whatever, and then you immediately wipe it dry.

It's not gonna discolor or make the plastic look bad in any way what'll happen is the plastic will start to look white.

It'll kind of like not staying it.

But classic and alcohol in anti plastic have different reactions, but if you use alcohol wipes to clean it, you'll get all the sticky residue from the Vape juice and the nicotine and whatever else could be causing.

Even burning incense will do the same thing in your computer.

So if you're dealing with that, then yeah, I would highly recommend those Clorox anti distance or the disinfectant wipes and stuff because that will get a lot of that residue off.

Um, I wouldn't necessarily go wiping PCB boards and stuff with it, not because it will damage the board, but because you have a chance of knocking off an SMG anytime you're wiping it, anything like that.

And if you take a look at our raid card and our network card and our motherboard, there are all sorts of surface mounted devices all over the place, so you don't want to take an extra chance of knocking that any of that off what you could do to clean those.

It's just used once again and electronics.

Cleaning brush.

Not a vacuum but electronics cleaning brush.

It looks an awful lot like a paintbrush, but again, they're special bristles that are designed to not generate GSD or electronic static discharge.

So you would just gently remove and losing a lot of the dust, and then you could get in there and blow it out and then deal with, you know, the dust that lands elsewhere.

Any time you move, remove a component.

It's an opportunity for damage and or something to just not work right again.

For instance, I would prefer to take the memory out and then, you know, make sure the memory modules themselves are clean and blow enough.

I have no problems taking memory and put him back in.

But if you're new to this and your let's have a pre built, you didn't build your computer and you're watching this video because you're like How do I clean my computer?

Chances are you're not a power user.

So take a picture and mark which Ram modules went wearing such because even though you may have four identical dim sluts or dims ram sticks.

If you put them back in a different order because they each have a different address like associated with them, then your computer has to go in and basically retrain the memory.

If you're running any sort of ah, factory over clock or you're running some sort of ah, custom bio setting and you rearrange those, your bios can revert.

And I've seen some people that have had some hard times getting their systems back up and running for basic things.

If you're not a power user comfortable enough to go into your bios and reset things like, for instance, if I move the memory around, the bios goes, your configuration has changed.

Your setup is my default.

Back to factory defaults.

Push F one to enter setup.

You're like Okay, F one.

Then you save and exit and you're running a water cooler like this that's not plugged into a CPU header.

You might see potential in error.

That's like error.

See, few fan not detected, and you're like, now what do I do?

Well, you have to know to go into your bios and reset the ignore CPU fan, not turning kind of a thing.

So just something to keep in mind if you start unplugging things and you cause your bios toe have to reset Now I'm gonna go ahead and do it because I'm a risk taker.

If you guys haven't noticed.

You guys haven't seen my Titan r TX card fixed video that Louis Rossman was a huge, huge fan off and he said, J my God, you got a job here Anytime you want one with your saw during techniques.

He was like, Dude, that was so smart.

I'll probably start doing that to protect a lot of the repairs that we do.

Lewis.

You're welcome now because this is running UNR Aid.

One thing I'm not disconnecting just because I don't want to have a deal with an issue is our is our license key booky thing.

So with UN raid, you actually need a USB key in there.

It's legitimately a key because it has our license and all that stuff on there.

If this isn't in there than our own raid won't work.

So I'm leaving that in there.

So with all that said, why don't we hope go ahead and do a ridiculous slow motion montage of dust flying just to completely piss off the germophobe that are watching this.

All right, there it is not as dirty as we thought it was gonna be, but pretty simple.

One thing we want to point out if you're going to be wiping things down like this, use a micro fiber towel.

A good quality one.

The one second leave fibres everywhere.

Because if you do this with, like, any sort of regular rag and you start getting a little limp fibers everywhere, you're just trading one mess for another.

So the glass is always the hardest to get clean that I had to use a mixture of goo gone Windex and isopropyl alcohol.

Reason being is we still had some residue on there from the sticker that was like on there, like the tempered glass sticker.

And then just the backing material left a little bit of residue.

We finally clean that off for the first time, so that was collecting dust the whole time.

And then you saw me like, kind of wiping down the exterior with the isopropyl alcohol.

This is going to get, like I said, any of the sticky stuff off.

Fingerprints came off just fine.

You can see it didn't cause any sort of weird discoloration so that isopropyl alcohol is pretty cheap.

You get this in any drugstore, this in the U.

S.

I don't know what it is for other countries, and then I had this knees.

Oh, this one's dust in the air right now.

Say it.

Like I said, if you're gonna blow it out and not use a vacuum, it's just gonna blow everywhere else.

If this were your bedroom and it's a small bedroom or even even a large bedroom, this is gonna land everywhere else.

Your bed, your desk, your wall, Take it outside.

Yeah, Another thing I would not suggest.

Somebody might be watching this going.

Well, I got a compressor in the garage.

I'm gonna clean this like a man.

I'm a crank that thing up.

And just let me tell you, I have first hand experience with a family member of mine that did that very same thing because diesel mechanic, you know, I'm talking about you know, you are out there, turn on the compressor and was blown off his fans and spun it to the point to where all the blades to slip, think and flew off the fan and one stabbed his motherboard and killed it.
