- Frequency: Clean your case every 3-6 months, or more frequently if in a dusty environment.
- Method:
- Power off your PC and unplug it from the wall.
- Remove the side panels.
- Use compressed air to blow dust out of fans, radiators, and internal components. Hold fan blades to prevent over-spinning.
- Wipe down acrylic panels and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure all components are dry before reassembling and powering on.
4.2 Cable Management Check
Periodically check cable routing to ensure no cables are obstructing airflow or fan blades.
