Daft Question - Cleaning Using a Brush

The Funktopus · 19 Oct 2008 at 15:13

Hi guys,

As the thread title suggests, I'm considering using a brush to attempt to clean some of the inaccesible nooks and crannies in my case and on my motherboard. Particularly the fans on the northbridge/southbridge, and and few other places around some of the hard drive cages and some of the drive bays. If I were to use say, a horse's hair brush, should there be any issues with static potentially killing some of my components?

Thanks, Mike.

Thanks for that, I was thinking of getting say, a Humbrol Modellers brush from the local model shop, but that'll do.

you can get compressed "air" cans for pretty cheap will remove all but the most stubbon of dust

I use a small brush to loosen the stubborn stuff and then a can of air to clean.

Once the loose stuff settles then a length of 7/16 pipe left over from my water cooling taped onto the vacuum cleaner gets pretty much everywhere
