Keeping up with the Settling Dust
|
We all try our hardest, but sometimes it just seems like an impossible fight to win. And there’s nothing worse than having just given everything a good clean only to have a good coastal breeze pop up and blow a whole new layer of dust all over everything again.

But I keep my Computer Clean!
|
We all keep the outside of our computers clean and dust free, but most people don't, or simply don't know how to keep the inside clean.
Every moment your computer is on, there are cooling fans spinning inside which keep critical components cool. Without them, your computer would quickly burn out from the heat generated by some components, but having them has one drawback, dust is constantly being drawn inside by those fans.
Dust can settle in a very visible layer in a short period of time over much of the inside of a computer, and concentrating around the fans which draw it into every nook and cranny in your computers case. Those fans which keep heat generating components of your computer cool usually end up layered in dust in a very short time.

Dust and Heat and Spinning Fans do not Mix
|
A common problem with computers is the failure of cooling fans as dust makes its way into the internal components of a fan, collecting on the fan blades and unbalancing them as the fan spins several thousand times a minute. Anyone who has heard the buzzing of a dying cooling fan inside their computer knows exactly what it does to one.
If that fan finally fails, your computers components keep generating the heat that the fan was dispersing, a computers internal temperature settings will quite likely shut your computer down before physical damage occurs to the components, but all that dust that has stopped the fan could pose a fire hazard in a worst case scenario.
Even without fatal failure, your computer's cooling fans will become inefficient which will make your computer's critical components operate hotter than normal, this will make your computer operate slower, and over time, reduce its life expectancy.

With research showing that dust that gathers inside a computer being toxic, containing chemicals linked to reproductive and neurological disorders, opening your computers case blowing the dust out probably is not the best of ideas, since you risk forcing the dust into places it really shouldn't be.
