sasybotnoodlehead Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I didn't know where else to post this. I have dust in my case and I'm too lazy to take out the parts and brush the dust away, if I used a vacuum and vacuumed the case inside would it generate any static that would damage my parts??

Cookieman123 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Yes! Vacuums do generate static electricity, use a can of compressed air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't done this in a while you will often notice a decrease in temp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgnatewv2 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Just be sure to watch the angle that you hold the can, that way non of the liquid will come out! Yes I'm guilty of it, a few years back.LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm guilty of it, a few years back.LOL 612647[/snapback] Just curious will this "liquid" hurt any of the components?? I myself often use a can of compressed air on my comp (when turned off) and have turned the can a bit to the side and some of it came out and onto the mobo, vid card and wherever else I was spraying but I have not had anything go bad on me....I do make sure that it is all dry before rebooting...just curious as to how this can damage components...does it fry them or short them out if turned on and the liquid is still like on the surface of the part??

Ste Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 It better not to spray any liquid on components, However if you do my accident it will just evaporate. Freezing crap is Fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicSniper Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 or my way... Take the bottom line off of my paintball gun and use my HPA tank and the on/off on the bottom line to dust everything off. Air coming from 750 psi and expanding to 20-30 psi makes for a lot of cleaning power 202$ PMI pure energy 4500psi 68ci carbon fiber luxfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone2sk Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 It is just compressed co2, but when the frost forms that can harm your computer. If it gets on the circuit boards and the moisture from the frost does not evaporate, then you could kill your mobo etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ady1989 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 what i do to get the dust off is just blow... yep, blow my lungs away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykocus Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I think a vacuum would be just as dangerous as a can of compressed air...both being minimally dangerous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
