Sure a little will resettle in the computer but only 2 or 3 percent. You might want to buy and use a can of compressed air. They are inexpensive. Yesterday it occurred to me that I had one**. But by the time I wrote the above, a couple hours later, I'd forgotten about it again. I was in the basement today but I forgot to look at it. (I know exactly where it would be.) **If I have the can of air, it's 10 years old or more. Does air go bad? :-) It might leak out, but I had an aerosol can of Edge shaving gel that I got for free when I took a tour of the Johnson Wax factory in Racine, Wisc. in 1970, and that can was still working 30 years later. ..... I just looked. It's gone. It must have stopped working some time after 30 years. I never liked gel so I never used it, and much of the time I had a beard. And I just looked in the basement, and I can't find the air, or the other cans that were all in a row on my workbench. I needed space when I started trying to repair a PC there, but I couldn't find it anywhere else either. OKay, I'll buy some, and I'll give away the extra cans. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster "Air on the contrary, cannot be compressed into liquid at any pressure since the critical temperatures of air components (-146.9 C for nitrogen; -118.6 C for oxygen) are much beyond normal handling temperatures. What do divers breathe then? [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko The air in their tanks is compressed, but it is not a liquid. As a result, the tanks don't hold very much. If you can fill a tank with a liquid form, it can expand to quite a few liters of gas. The critical temperature decides whether that is possible or not. There is a table here, showing the gases that are easy to do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critic...rmodynamics%29 "Cagniard showed that CO2 could be liquefied at 31C at a pressure of 73 atm, but not at a slightly higher temperature, even under pressures as high as 3,000 atm." When divers go to more extreme depths, the tanks also include Helium. The third link below includes quite a bit of detail, including a list of unfortunate accidents (people dying trying to set records). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliox "Heliox is also used in saturation diving" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_diving ...the risk of decompression sickness ("the bends") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimix...eathing_gas%29 "The helium is included as a substitute for some of the nitrogen, to reduce the narcotic effect of the breathing gas at depth." When a diver does cavern diving, they can become disoriented and never make it back to the surface. And that's just from breathing what is in the tank, and not the surroundings. What can be especially bad, is if one diver freaks out and attacks another diver trying to return him to the surface. For some reason, the idea of diving never attracted me. Too many stories. Too many details to remember. Diving to the bottom of the pool at the YMCA was enough challenge for me :-) Paul |

There's no problem vacuuming as long as one doesn't touch the components. I've done it many times with no problems. Assuming I was willing to do this, I have an upright with a hose, I have a small shop-vac, and I'm sure that somewhere I have a little one meant to vacuum the car. And I have a cannister kind, the main kind other than upright. This one will blow as well as suck. Which ones would you be willing to use? Seems to me I can regulate both the sucking and the blowing by taping some cardboard over the tube's end. I did put some air in my basket. Two days ago there was 4 cans of Falcon Dust-off for 12.50, the same price as for 2 cans!, but i wasn't quick enough, and they're up to 20 dollars now, so it's one can for me. But I have to put together $49 and I'm 74c short. Last time I was 10 cents short. Definitely running out of things to buy. I can't buy the air somewhere else because then I'll be 8 dollars and 74 cents short. |

I can't buy the air somewhere else because then I'll be 8 dollars and 74 cents short. I was given one of these as a gift, and it fits onto a hoover vacuum tube fitting. https://www.amazon.ca/Micro-Vacuum-A.../dp/B000BSJCLY I use that for cleaning the fins on a CPU heatsink, and not much more. I don't vacuum out the whole PC with a thing like that, because it would be too slow. The adapter has a circular ring for "breaking the vacuum" and reducing the flow rate at the tip. Now, that kit is an "acquired taste", and I really don't use all the fittings on the end. The main hose and adapter are a good start. I could just as easily, on the sink in question, remove the fan and get most of the dust blockage with a rag, once it is exposed. Using the vacuum allows getting most of it, without disassembly. I probably wouldn't have bought that, if it hadn't been given to me, but it did fit the vacuum good, so no complaint there. Paul |

I just use a normal house vacuum with a hose and a narrow-point fitting, then hold it close to the dust without touching. I'd be wary of blowing air at it. That's going to move things around and create a dust cloud. The canned air approach is really a misnomer. It's not blowing air on the components. As Paul pointed out, it's really washing the components with something that will evaporate. | Seems to me I can regulate both the sucking | and the blowing by taping some cardboard over the tube's end. | Yes. That works, too. |

Compressed air has always seemed like hype to me. There's no problem vacuuming as long as one doesn't touch the components. I've done it many times with no problems. My preferred method is to use both compressed air and the vacuum. With my case ope, I run the vacuum and hold the hose up to the case. I use the compressed air to blow out all the dust and it gets sucked into the vacuum hose. |
