Assalam O Aleikum. I need some guidance regarding cleaning my PC.

I got my PC about 5 months ago. I have been cleaning the outside of casing almost daily. When i am not using the PC, i cover it with a large cloth sheet, to protect it from dust.

However, i opened it about a few days ago and noticed alot of dust on the fans, RAM, CPU cooler, the motherboard and the GPU. I want to clean my PC from inside, but i need some guidance.

1. Where can i buy Can of Compressed Air in Karachi ? I think it is the safest way to clean the PC from inside

2. Should i take out stuff like RAM and GPU while cleaning the PC ?

3. Can i use blower to clean the PC from inside ? I am just scared of damaging the fans and the electronic components of the motherboard by using blower.

Kindly guide me on this.

I have attached Pics of the air blower i have , for further reference.

Walaikum Assalam Brother... I hope you are fine :) So cleaning a PC from inside is a very easy process1 Just grab a blower and blow all the dust out! Don't forget to disconnect all POWER CORDS before doing this! No need of taking RAM and GPU outside.. :)

Alhamdulliah fine. i hope you are doing well too :)

Just one question. Can you explain which power cords ? Are you talking about the wires of the Power Supply ? or the wires that are connected from Motherboard to the case fan and case buttons ?

Your Power cable. you don't really need to remove the ram and gpu or any other wires etc just get your pc outside and start the blower. Make sure you keep a little distance from your pc while you are blowing

Get a dust buster in your home if you already have one then shift your system to a safe place where dust can easily spread off, wear a mask or helmet for self defense then press the trigger

Just A Tip:

Cover 1/2(Half) of Blower Hole with Tape And Open Only Half....This Way Pressure will Remain Reduced And 2ndly Keep Distance of good 1.5ft while blowing...

this way it will be safely done using dust blower....
