I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took hours with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!!
Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else…? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot much faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!
Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!
Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho (which I also had to clean very very heavily).
