I followed you faggots advice to wash out my PC and now it isn't turning on anymore. What the fuck do I do now?

your cpu fan is upside down dingus. reinstall it and it should turn on again

I watched a youtube tutorial on this, I think you're supposed to break an egg now.

Theres no asians around to fix it

epic thread! nice job op!

This asshole is trolling. It is literally impossible to use too much thermal paste, it even speeds up the SATA connections.

You need some clorox to really clean it senpai

You have to scrub and then rinse.

I just hose it and let it dry. Works for me

Hence rice. Do you even know how to summon?

would it be alright to clean your computer if you dried it afterwards? Is there anything he water can fuck up while its off?

I knew a guy who used to wash his graphics card.

It's supposed to be boiling water. You don't your computer to get a virus, do you?

Well, that's one way to get attention for an unwanted computer. Did you bend the pins while putting in the CPU?

put each part in a huge bowl of rice
an asian will come to your home to fix your computer

Put it in time out.

Dude, you can't just use water. You're supposed to use Windex or a generic variation thereof. It binds with the dirt and then you use a strong magnet to pull the dirty Windex off without having to touch the computer.

No it's fine as long as it dries out completely.

HOLY FAKIN SHIT

I use canned air, outside, when it's obviously not plugged in. Canned air on a computer that is running is like taking a flame thrower to it, because canned air is actually canned compressed chemicals.

as long as there is no power electonics can get wet. One practical application to this is cleaning the inside of your keyboard out, since its not that hard to get those completely dry.

The water itself doesn't do anything, its when it short circuits things and voltages that have no business being in certain places get there.

Theoretically distilled water would be safe even with the power on since water itself isnot conductive only the minerals in it, but i wouldnt trust store bought distilled water to be pure enough.

It will be ok if it dries up but it shouldn't get wet like that. If you want to be safe blow baking soda into the thing and an then put the internals into an oven at like 100°C for 10 minutes.

It's a hardware overclock for the GPU you heat it up enough and put the solder in certain places so more current can flow efficiently through the circuitry.

No, the secret is to use just a little more thermal paste, that way you don't need neither heatsink nor fan.

Maximum airflow achieved.

as long as it's clean water that doesn't have contaminates that can dry out on the parts and cause a short
and of course if you do it with everything depowered and battery out of the mobo, nothing will happen

Not to mention that the dirt in your computer parts could make the water conduct electricity again if it dissolves.

Neither does every retard that does this.

I cleaned out my old PC I had for years and years before I turned it into an emulation/entertainment hub. The dust bunnies I blew out of there were insane. I have never seen so much dust balls in my entire life, there were dozens upon dozens, it was hilarious. Some towers are just fine to put on the floor, though, since they have little legs of their own that elevate the tower.

Nice quads. What about natural dust accumulation? Around 80% is just your own skin that falls off on its own, for me it's probably even more because every time I run my hands through my hair I get like a small snowfall and the various skin care products and shampoos I tried didn't help either

don't give them ideas user

My teacher put me through this program in the mid 00's called Techskills USA. I was able to get A+ certified then got a job with a local family owned computer/phone repair shop when I dropped out. Only worked it for a couple years. I learned most things from just fixing and building stuff for friends and family.

not all pastes are non conductive. you have to read the label.

AIOs aren't as loud as air cooling unless you are already in a cool climate where the fans basically just spin gently.
My tower legs are just over an inch long, just like your dick lulz roasted fag, but the old PC was never cleaned out. Not once in about 8 or 9 years. Temps never got above 60, though, so I never really cared about it since the cable management was complete trash in it anyway. I'll never do mid-tower again.

Read books about it. Read forums about it. You have the world's largest resource of information right in front of you.

This is Linus doing some of his mad experiments isn't it?

everything you put inside a fridge actively creates heat through entropy. the question is whether or not it adds more energy to the system than the fridge can remove

So it water cools both cpu and gpu, damn that's some advanced shit right there.

considering that was a tiny clip of a build guide for the cheapest 8-core pc you could build with ebay parts and game on (ended up being 150 for everything but the psu and gpu) its more of a funny footnote.

a little dust, especially on the fans themselves, is to be expected at that point. but if it was a lot that's more down to your room being dusty than a cm or even an inch of elevation. that was the only point I wanted to make, really. carpet and elevation are memes. putting a PC up on a desk means you hear it more and you're wasting valuable desk space. terrible idea and no payoff whatsoever. and carpet doesn't magically add dust. if you vaccuum a carpet and a non-carpet room equally often there's no physical way the PC in the carpeted room could end up much dustier. the dust has to come from somewhere.

That doesn't even really matter. He forgot to remove the CMOS battery from the mobo.

Computer worked fine.

Start with the basics. Look up stuff like "how to build a computer". Never use one source, but at least five that don't refer to each other.
That way it is more likely they aren't bullshitting you. Actual published works and such are even safer, but should also be fact checked.
If you encounter something in the basic stuff you are looking up and don't know what it is or how it works, congratulations, you've just found a new search term for more research.
Keep repeating until you have some idea of the very basics. Then go shopping for cheap parts and start building your own stuff and programming your own things.
If you can do that, you can start moving on to the more difficult stuff.
The most important thing is to start with the basic stuff and work your way up from there.

that really shouldn't be strong enough to damage anything

Yeah, but my point was that I did vacuum and clean regularly (every two weeks) but the dust still got in there. I just failed to mention that because I'm retarded. I agree that there is no problem whatsoever with keeping a tower on the floor, even on carpet, but I will say the legs have helped this new tower stay a bit cleaner. Might also be due to the fact that it is a full tower and not mid and thus cable management is much better. We will see, it's not even a year old yet.

positive pressure only works for stopping dust if all intakes have a filter. the cfm of the intakes is greater than the exhausts so the dust only has way to go which is through the intakes. non filtered intakes will still generate a ton of dust, but if you have filters then it will collect on them instead which makes the inside clean.

Don't wash your hair with hot water. Also stop using shampoo altogether unless you got really dirty. You should only be using conditioner at most. If your dandruff is really bad, 2-3 times a week use a spray bottle of half water half apple cider vinegar and spray it into your hair, let sit for a few minutes then rinse out with cool water and use your conditioner after. Keeping up with this for a few weeks should get it under control.
