Hows This for Overheating

[cdoublejj]

i've read about those p4's running hot i have in the living room that if oced even 1mhz goes wach i don't if it is heat or just the fsb. any ways i hit that dust with the air compressor and blowgun i think it cranks up to 70 or 80 psi it doesn't do any damage either at least if your smarter than a bag of hammers it doesn't. also it funs to take fans and watch them hit a baggillion rpms with the blowgun hehe.

Yeah man. Regular people don't know that they occasionally have to clean out their computer... They don't think that it collects dust... :| But that creates more work for people like you and I ! Google is running us out of the computer business because people just google their computer problems before going to a repair man

oh yeah i know your right! ive seen alot of pc's die way before there time due to dirt,and dust buildup.

1. High pressure air can cause loosely soldered components to come off a board.
2. Spinning the fans with that air can ruin the bearings.
3. P4's overclocked pretty well actually, they still hold the record for highest clock afaik.

yeah i know this but, i've never considered the crappy solder joints the fans i don't hit hard i usually hold them still but, i do have extras in the parts bin i have played with hehe. I've had good luck so far i've cleaned bunch this way but, i'm not a complete idiot and am careful not to damage anything i don't get the blow gun too close or focus the air stream on vulnerable parts like caps and what not. maybe i should try looking at the multi if that can be changed.
