Default [Answered] Air spray cans

It is very dusty inside my computer case, I think it may be slowing down the CPU slightly.
I have found an air duster here. Does anyone know which ones are ok to use on Fan/Heatsink,Graphics Card Fan, DVD drives and around the inside of the case?

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place
thanks, jake

Hey jake

That one is absolutely fine. Make sure you do 2 things...keep the can a good 4-5 inches away from the components and don't use the can in an inverted state Happy dusting!

In simple english/laymans terms (Heh)

Dont turn the can upside down and dont hold it too close to the parts in your pc

I asked EXACTLY the same question before i used mine and (As guys do) i turned it upside down and and sprayed my Lemonade can to see what happend, it spray FREEZEING cold liquid over the can LOL
