Reminder about Dust
Just a quick reminder to inspect your pcs and etc for dust build up.
I forgot, and it cost me two new fans. Regards AO |
It's one of those enduring mysteries of life how specks of house dust could possibly stick to a fan blade spinning at 1700 rpm, and gather there the way we've all seen them do inside our computer cases!

I stuck one of these:
on the outside of my computer case and the amount of dust it collects is unbelievable. It's magnetic so easy to remove and a quick vacuum gets it clean in seconds. |
A quick blast from my compressor when I am checking the tyre pressures does the trick.

A quick blast from my compressor when I am checking the tyre pressures does the trick. 'trouble is - I always forget to take my laptop with me when I use the local garage, and I haven't got a home compressor, a standard foot pump doesn't hack it, and I never dismantle the desktop to cart into town ! I've been warned about not using aerosol cans of compressed air, 'cos of the plastic tube they use, i.e. static, but another IT man said that was a load of b****ocks, no problem and sells then for that purpose, but I decided to stick a wire up the tube, take off my rubber shoes and stand on the other end. Paranoid ? Moi ? |
I use a vacuum cleaner hose and nozzle to suck out the dust, having loosened it with a half inch paintbrush.
