need help in cleaning cosmos 2

[Harishanim]

Its big, its huge and too much to clean! The biggest challenge for me is that they don't sell compressed air cans where I live and my comp is getting really dirty I'm removing all the filters and washing them And I have no idea how I'm gonna dry them, also the most difficult part in need help with is the top and front sliders , how do I clean em? Please help

Paint brushes and pipe cleaners also 99.9% Alcohol wipes and spray with a micro fibre cloth (has to be micro fibre) and cleaning is a breeze.

EDIT as for your washed filters just lay them on some kitchen towel in your airing cupboard.

Do you know how I could remove the top slide and the front slide off? That's where I'm having problems

 

[B3rni3]

I just use a hover. Take out the filters and hover them and you should be fine.

 

[Harishanim]

is it ok to use vaccums on the parts? im not using them on the mother board or any electrical part?

 

[B3rni3]

I was talking about the filters for the case. You can remove them and then vacuum them.

 

[dalewakelin]

Don't put a vacuum near the inside of your rig, the filters and outside is fine but the vacuum can cause static build up and can damage components.

remember to ground ur self tho...

I always used my vacume cleaner with a long brush attachment. Didnt give me static problems then, and dislodged alot of dust inbetween solder joints etc.

 

[Harishanim]

could i like try doing something DIY and try taping a smaller pipe on the outter so i can get into the tight spot?

 

[Warchild]

Still chance of static doing that.

I normally remove the mother board and stuff qhile cleaning, but the problem here is ive done too much of wiring and itll take a lot of time to put it back properly

True enthusiasts will take time in doing something to make sure its done properly, no matter how many times its been done before.

I think I'll try buying a compressed air can On eBay , my vaccum is apparently really old and not sure of working
I'm planning to do custom green and black wires too

I bought myself this -

It's an anti static brush set, Cost £12, A good investment, Got it from http://pcvalet.co.uk/ they do some great PC friendly cleaning utilities

A can of compressed air and a micro fibre cloth, Nothing else needed, Well maybe having the windows and doors open to create a draft wouldn't hurt, Also having a generally clean and dust free environment helps immensely

Ok I had a look, I have 1.28v for my 4.60GHZ overclock, With CPU's it's all down to the silicon lottery, Someone I know at work has 4.80GHZ at 1.25v, someone else I know can only have 4.60GHz stable at 1.32v.

Just depends on the luck of the draw bud

As a bit of extra info according to Intel themselves 1.45v is the absolute maximum you should be putting in, Any more than that and you can kiss your CPU goodbye.

Reference for you -
