How do you safely remove dust from a computer fan using a dust blower?

Maintaining a clean PC is crucial for optimal performance. However, clearing your computer’s cache and storing large files on external hard drives are only two parts of the process. Additionally, you should physically clean your computer, especially the fans. Your computer will slow down or, worse, experience component overheating if too much dust and debris accumulate on the fans. If your computer starts to overheat and can’t cool down, inside components could be harmed.

Cleaning the Computer Fans:

Almost all of a computer’s internal hardware will start to warm up when it is turned on. A fan aids in reducing the frequency and temperature of high exposure so that your computer is not harmed.

CLEANSING COMPUTER FANS:

• Deactivate your computer.

• Remove your computer’s plug from the outlet and the surge protector.

• Lever the computer casing open.

• Dust the computer’s internal components using compressed air, but keep your distance from the motherboard, RAM, expansion cards, and processors—at least a few inches.

• Use compressed air or an electric vacuum to remove the dust buildup from your PC fans, but take care not to damage the sensitive blades. While using the compressed air, hold the fan blade with one finger. Use a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol to wipe the blades clean and ensure that all of the dust has been removed.

Cleaning your computer every six to twelve months will help prevent dust and debris from overheating or damaging it. Your computer won’t overheat if you keep it regularly cleaned, and you’ll be able to tell which components might be deteriorating and need to be changed before it’s too late.

Step 1: Things You Need 

Step 2: Turn Off and Disconnect Your Computer

Step 3: Clean the fan blades 

Step 4: Using a toothpick, clear the Heatsink Surface of Dust.

Step 5: Use a cotton swab to remove any remaining dust from the surface.

Step 6: Likewise remove any dust from the heat sink’s bottom.

Step 7: Take the fan wire off and give it a thorough cleaning.

A few blasts of compressed air can clear the majority of loose dust from practically any PC fan (case fans, graphics card fans, heat sink fans, etc.). Just be sure to open the case if you’re cleaning a case fan so you can blow the dust outside rather than back into the computer.

After using compressed air to remove any remaining caked-on dust, gently clean each individual fan blade with a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Physically unscrewing and removing a case fan or heat sink fan can aid in the cleaning procedure; just be sure you know how to reinstall the fan after you’re finished.
