Title: How often do you clean your computer?
Post by: ZeroEnergy on October 01, 2014, 04:53:45 PM
How often do you clean your computer?

I clean all of the dust out of my system probably every 6 months.  Having a case with dust screens in the front has helped keep the inside cleaner than previous cases.

When I can't see whats on the screen from all the gunk/dust build-up. It usually takes me about 30 minutes of scrubbing each screen. Like washing my car.

Estimated time between cleanings - 7 years.

Inside the computer? I vacuum out the dust when it starts having thermal shutdown problems or my GPUs reboot because they cant cool well enough.

Every now and the, with vaccum cleaner (the front is plastic so no worries about static electricity ruining equipment). I notice the dust pile up pretty fast since I run with the cover open, dust can equal fire so better clean it off when it gets too bad.

Typically once or twice a year.

Back in the days when I had my old, slow computer, I did it every day in a hope it'll be faster and that I'll be able to play modern games. These days, if you have a good PC, you don't have to do it for a year, and you won't notice anything. At least that's the impression I got. Although, I try to clean it once a month.

Depends on if it's my Mac or PC. On my PC I really like CCleaner

i think he was talking about cleaning your PC parts like CPU,screen and others not about internal system cleaning
btw i do it one per month for PC and printer daily

Every month. Sometimes I even replace some of the hardware when it becomes outdated. Usually I buy a new laptop every 2 years and a desktop every 3 years.

I clean it when it alerts me that something is wrong and when it becomes slow. I hate it when I'm installing something and there is error because my PC is messy.

CCleaner is quite amazing what it can do!

Well, I have a laptop so cleaning it inside means losing warranty and means a lot of trouble, as funny said in this music:

But the screen and the case, every week.
