Cleaning Dust From Your PC
I haven’t made a video for aaaaaages, so you will have to excuse the production quality. Also you will have to excuse my cat Jelly playing in the corner of the video.
The point of this video is that often one of the greenest things you can do is to take care of your tech and make it last longer. So that dust has to go!

David M Schaedler dust builds up despite fans being present. In fact dust clogging up fans is one of the biggest reasons for computers to start slowing down. The fans struggle to operate and air flow basically disappears. If you have noisy fans, the chances are they are clogged up.
The PC I was repairing in the video had blown the PSU (power supply unit). I suspect that was because the built in fan had become clogged up and the PSU overheated.

i saw a video that says never ever to use an electronic blower or vacuum as they create an electromagnetic field which could possibly damage the main board or other sensitive electronics also I noticed how powerful that thing was man looks like it would blow all that dust right back into small areas

Bill S It’s perfectly safe and removes dust very effectively.

Bill S Any EM field created by a blower or vacuum is too weak to damage electronics. However static electric charge on a vacuum’s hose could. Connecting the hose to a plugged in power supply with wire should sufficiently ground the hose to prevent static buildup.

I once cleaned up a PC (386DX 33 I think.) which lived in auto body shop. It had 1/2″ or more of white powder, bondo mostly, built up over every bit of the surface of the motherboard, but it had worked just fine up until that point.
I swept it clean with my toner vac. (I was once a copier repairman, and a copier connectivity tech, God I’m old.) And it worked just fine for at least a couple more years, until it wasn’t worth anything anyway. (I sold them a 586 to replace it at some point, and that was used, but not entirely obsolete.)
