Me with 144p: woah so clean😮

The fan is designed to spin by force applied on the shaft, not force from the blades

So you need to HOLD DOWN THE BLADES (like he did on the video) and DO NOT LET THE FANS SPIN

When I usually clean a gpu I completely open it. Reapply new thermal paste. Wash the heatsink and fans

Will this work with intel hd graphics too :)

This is great for someone like me who gets anxiety whenever they take something apart

Compressed air weak
*DISHWASHER FOREVER*

PLS, never let the fan spin when using compressed air. Can damage the fan and make them loud…

[Teister]

HOLD THE FAN WHILE SPRAYING COMPRESSED AIR INTO IT! YOU WILL BREAK YOUR GPU IF YOU DON'T

Bold of you to assume that I have a GPU, *YouTube*

You can avoid a lot of dust build up like this by having dust covers on your PC as well as doing regular cleaning on the inside of your case

Use a vacuum cleaner instead, because that compressed air will indeed push out some dust, but it will compress the same amount into a thick hump pressed against the logic board and crammed between the cooling fins (as you can see in the video). Just Google how to remove the fans only, it's 2 small screws usually per fan.

Pro tip: invert step 1 and 2. Save time and air. Rejoice.

Use a dry paint brush, a small one, all over the card first, then use your duster can or air compressor.

Rinse and repeat until clean. Dry paint brushes even get smokers dust off, there isn't anything in 28 years of being a geek that has worked better for me.

Cotton swabs take too long and aren't as effective.

[FragTix]

just avoid the fan spinning when using it

[kapilbansal]

"You guys are getting GPU ??"

[notyourbusiness]

Do not use compressed air cans due to the aerosol inside, get two anti static electroc dusters, one battery powered for the more intricate stuff and one cabled for bulk operations

[supergamer]

You have no idea how much "Just use a qtip" helped me, i woulda never thought to do that.

[HarunOKUDUCU]

I prefer deep cleaning instead this method. Also dont forget to use more termal paste than you do for cpu.

[rhinocogaming]

Me who uses a vaccum: I have transcended beyond human thinking

[packerman]

Please just take it apart and clean it, its usually just 4 screws holding on the cooler and thermal paste isnt expensive
