Cleaning your system on a somewhat regular basis can easily help extend the life of components, increase system stability, and reduce noise. This Tech Tip will take a look at a few areas to focus on, and all you really need to do is open your case and pull the trigger!

  1. Air in a can is fine, except for where it might drive the dust.  Using a home vacum cleaner can be very hazardous to your computer health because of the electromagnetic flux lines it emits from it’s electric motor.  It can cause a multitude of strange unpredictable problems with your CPU.  Don’t do it!

  2. It has to be done carefully. Especially a powerful vaccume can damage the Motherboard.

  3. I’M GLAD I READ THE ARTICAL ON CANNED AIR. IT WAS THE FIRST THAT I HAD HEARD OF IT.IT WOULD MAKE THINGS MUCH QUICKER FOR ME,BECAUSE I USUALLY USE THE TECH VAC AND WHILE IT IS OK IT TAKES UP ALOT OF TIME WHEN CLEANING THE FAN AND THE CANNED AIR WILL GET TO THOSE HARD TO REACH PLACES. THANK YOU.

  5. I never thought of using air in a can to clean out my keyboard (although for me personally, it’s not necessary for my hardware)

    Appreciate it!

  6. This is a good article for beginners. Your question asking about the goal of the site is invaluable in my experience. As an author about web design, I find far too many people just start building a web site without any goal in mind. More often than not, that’s a fatal mistake.
