second cleaning of dusty PC case with air compressor 2 of 2

[turkerotcu]

if you blow too fast, you may rip out some capacitors or other components, keep it safe pressures around 60 -80. And also my geek friend you need to know better to stop the fans with a pen or some stick or with some object so they don't spin. If the pressure makes the fans faster than their capacity you'll simply blow the motors of those little fans inside of the VGA cards, power supplies, or CPU's. Hold with a pen or with your finger or something so they won't spin.

thanks I had a big conflict if I should buy leaf blower or air compressor but when I saw your videos I decided to buy a good compressor , what is the recommended pressure / bars to buy?

@asafon12 Any air compressor is good enough to blow out PC's. You don't need much pressure to blow out dust. Any small air compressor will do. The key is to get an adjustable air gun on the end of the hose, so you can vary the air output. The larger the compressor, the longer you can use it without having it to recharge the air.

@asafon12 Id go to lowes and get the smallest electric compressor they have.

even the little ones will give you 100 PSI

@myndmelt Haha, no my sticky note did not fly off my computer. It was windy that day though.
