TechTalk: Do You Have Enough Hardware?  Page 1 2 3 4 5 6

Cleaning the Case and Fans Computers have several fans and heat sinks to cool the hardware. You can see one fan on the power supply on the back of your case. There is another fan mounted on the motherboard. It’s job is to cool the processor. Without proper cooling, your processor could overheat. Your video card will also have a fan. These fans suck up dust and fuzz just like the one in your window. You can use a soft painter's brush to dust the fans and heat sinks. You can also gently vacuum your computer from the outside. When you open it to clean the dust bunnies, please be careful with the sensitive parts. These little guys really like it when you take care of them. Computers! Yea, we love them, don’t we?
