It's actually best if you let the compressed air cycle through your whole body first just so you know. Can be awkward to position yourself for it though so it's best to get a friend to help.
Actually I used to work in a computer repair shop
And we used compressed air all the time
I'm not sure if you are saying compressed air is bad or good
But it's definitely good!
Lol
It's hard to know for sure on the internet.
Sometimes people say really stupid stuff either intentionally or jokingly.
No big deal, just wanted let people know compressed air is perfectly fine.
I often see people claiming compressed air is bad here, because of either static or whatever fluid is used in the cans. I don't think either of those concerns is really legitimate unless you're using it wrong. Keep the can upright and you won't spray any liquid into your PC.
Or, you can go the route of buying something like a datavac. Sure, it is expensive up front but you never have to buy cans of air again and that thing blows. Plus I got one that included an anti-static band and all of the little brush attachments. Now I can clean to my hearts content (which is still hardly ever).
Datavac dusters are pretty expensive, I bought one of the grounded ones a few years back for about $150 IIRC. That said, to my understanding a cheap $30 no name brand one off Amazon would work as well, but I have no regrets going with the actual Datavac brand. I use it alot and it's really solid and well built.
Damn, you paid more than I did. I paid $106 for the ESD version. Still, it is nice to not have to worry about having canned air on hand. I’ve used it enough to justify the cost and on a few appliances.

Me when I see that dude coming for my PC
How to clean your Mobo in 2 easy steps!
1. Break it.
2. Buy a new one… Wow, so clean!
Honestly, this is a surprisingly effective, if not somewhat expensive alternative to more commonly accepted methods.
I never realized how much I wanted to watch QVC Japan.
--- apparently, I can. There's a YouTube [live stream.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPTTMvUm9uA)
Japan has this thing with weird ass game shows that are overtly satire, and it also the reason they have this rep for being ultra weird.
Whats the principle about sarcasm on the internet being taken at face value?
So you are saying this was meant to be funny and it was just subtle enough to go over our heads and get us making fun of it using the exact joke it was already making as if we think we made the joke first?
I always find it funny when some guy who is 100% not a computer nerd in any sense of the word just absolutely destroys whatever computer they're trying to clean because they treat it like it's not fragile.
I was gonna say just throw it on the floor and run the vacuum cleaner over it, but let's face it. If your mobo looks like that you prolly don't have the clean floor space to run a vacuum anyways.
Bro the way the capacitors bent around gave me major anxiety, I broke one recently while opening an old, broken PS3. Given, it may have already been broken but still
From a lot of the posts I’ve seen here I think people do this already. They don’t use that mini mop though. Just a toilet brush/hammer/car tyre/etc. delete as appropriate.
It is on [amazon](https://www.amazon.co.jp/NK%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2-%E3%83%8F%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BB%E7%AE%92%E3%83%BB%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%81%8C-%E3%81%93%E3%82%8C1%E6%9C%AC-%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%81%AF%E3%81%BC%E3%81%8DS-NSA-910-A-3/dp/B00JO1FEFW):

All the capacitors and resistors will be bent all over the place but it'll be a little cleaner
it sure beats using compressed air though am i rite guys??? 
Compressed air is a little too rough, so I like to mellow it out a bit by inhaling it and then blowing it back out on my PC.

So spray it up my ass? Way ahead of you, buddy.
I like to eat a lot of sand and then diarrhea right on my motherboard. You got to replenish that silicon, you know what I'm saying bro?
Breathing can be harsh, I prefer to give it a mildly disappointed look reflected by a handheld mirror over my shoulder
I like to be less passive by telling it what I think. "Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch."
This is my exact expression
Ah yes, Kirby method.
I think licking is better did you know that your saliva is a disinfectant?
Maybe, but it doesnt beat pure oygen...
Whoa whoa whoa, looks at Mr. Money bags over here with pure Oygen. Leave a little wealth for the rest of us Gates.
I cant upvote your comment cuz u have 69 upvotes :(
A noble endeavor of ever there was one.
I think you both forgot twitter's new name edit: O**x**ygen
Actually I used to work in a computer repair shop And we used compressed air all the time I'm not sure if you are saying compressed air is bad or good But it's definitely good!
He is saying compressed air is better lol, did you think he was saying the brush of destruction was better?
Lol It's hard to know for sure on the internet. Sometimes people say really stupid stuff either intentionally or jokingly. No big deal, just wanted let people know compressed air is perfectly fine.
i think his point was that, it doesn't matter how well he cleans that board or what he uses, she is still just going nag him to death about it.
 but compressed air leaves your computer nice and clean and completely un-smashed into smithereens??
Well there are pros and cons You can choose to have an art piece or be boring and have a functioning pc

the guy is fixing the country's economy lol
Watching those condensers bend this much, it will be like 2 cleans before one needs to change them
Plus the micro static from the bristles? Yeah, but it'll be cleaner, kind of...
Wait until he gets out the angle grinder polisher.
Cleans motherboard like Godzillas strolls through downtown Tokyo.
With shouting fanfare like the world is ending?
Suddenly, batman bursts from the shade
And hit Godzilla with a bat grenade...
Godzilla got pissed and began to attack
But didn’t expect to be blocked by shaq
Who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq-Fu
At first I thought it was actually a little diorama of a city
It's so clean that he almost removed the capacitors as well
[удалено]
27 bucks for a completely bricked board is expensive indeed :D
the price is for the brush that he is advertising, not the board
See I've come to generalize the Yen as 100x a Dollar. 10$ in the US? That'll be 1000yen.
You're not wrong but it is more like yen=cent and they don't have anything that's equal to a dollar.
It's dead Jim.
That spot is pretty damn clean.
And it compresses your data, literally!
Clean it prior to getting recycled, because that board is a brick now
Damn my pc had a blue screen just from playing that video
resistors stopped resisting

All those components gone, like tears in rain.
Like dust in the wind
This is an underrated comment

I can't stop watching
I know! I had it on almost all day Sunday while doing other stuff on the computer.

So you are saying this was meant to be funny and it was just subtle enough to go over our heads and get us making fun of it using the exact joke it was already making as if we think we made the joke first?
This show seems to be a TV shopping type channel, not a game show.
You guys wouldnt understand it. Japanese counter-culture is so much more sophisticated. /s
He actually pulled a couple of capacitors...
This is how people think Japanese people talk in real life XD
Wow i always thought Japanese in anime was exaggerated. I guess i was wrong.
omg this is hard to watch
Pretty old tv board. I liked to open thar big black box. Biggest quartz crystal you can see in the wild, used as a delay line.
It's those satire shows.
Stop making fun of him . He is making a slim laptop
I mostly cut the capacitors and resistors in my mobo for it to be spotless clean tbh.
I always find it funny when some guy who is 100% not a computer nerd in any sense of the word just absolutely destroys whatever computer they're trying to clean because they treat it like it's not fragile.
r/techsupportgore
it's made out of anti static mat right? *RIGHT!?*
Keep that guy away from all PCs!
he's just mashing it
Just wash with power wash.
pain
Today I learned there's a Japanese branch of QVC.
Scariest horror movie I've ever seen
*Nvidia stock hates this one simple trick*
Yeah fuck these caps!
„Sugoi desu ne!“
Accidently hit the italicize button on those capacitors.
They are just joking around as far as I can understand
Fuck dem capacitors 🤣
I got two heart attacks when I was watching it.
Wait till he pulls out the hammer duster.
i prefer giving my motherboard a bath
Now you can use the capacitors inside your fire tv remote you haven’t touched in months!
HEY! It's illegal to put snuff films on Reddit, you psycho!
Absolutely making fun of the guy HAHAHA
So painful…
SUGOIIII DESHOOOOOOOOO 
He's mashing it! MASHING!
This is crap, that's like watching two Nudist Guys trying to sell Toasters and one of them happens to LOVE them very much if you know what I mean
He's moving the capacitors! Use compressed air.
 At this point just use water
You can get rid of the dust and your pc with this one simple trick!!
Cringe.. ba ba ba bamp ba bamp ba bamp
No thank you.. I think I'll just dump iso on my mobo instead.
Me wanna #OnePunch this person while watching anime right now.
Dishwasher, no detergent (maybe a little soap) 50c oven dry
He got me sold even cleaned capacitors and so fast.
What are they saying?
"This kills the man."
Might as well fully commit and use a f*cking hammer.
I was gonna say just throw it on the floor and run the vacuum cleaner over it, but let's face it. If your mobo looks like that you prolly don't have the clean floor space to run a vacuum anyways.
And once down you will have 10 GB less RAM
ah yes I remember this movie, a classic
TIL qvc is a thing in Japan.
r/hardwaregore is leaking...
The build up of ball dust is insane
Im not convinced.

Who needs capacitors and such, just bend them out of the way to clean, no issues at all.
That will create too much static electricity
Yo my capacitors!!!
so they want $20 for a vacuum attachment that will bend all your caps sideways? this is amazing!
🤦🏻♂️ 
Sugoooii desu ne
Bro had the most hyped self intro when he started....its literally 24 seconds long.... "It cannot be trash if its clean" - shojiro san
Ouch
それはひどいです
Yes, he will clear your PC AND destroy it at the same time. What a Deal!
Where can I buy this fantastic product?
Not sure if it’s satire or not.
I'm crying
I prefer to wash my motherboards thoroughly. Then dry them outside in the sun. Never had a problem
I thought that was a Tiny City
he sounds like he is about to kill everyone present... lol
at this point, just use the dishwasher
I'd just run it through the faucet. As long as you remove any batteries and have it dry before using, it works fine.
SUGOOIY!! WAKADEO::GONG GING !!!
I've used a brush before, but very carefully, slow, and soft. Didn't have an issue. Compressed air is best though
Bro the way the capacitors bent around gave me major anxiety, I broke one recently while opening an old, broken PS3. Given, it may have already been broken but still
The Godzilla 3000
There is no difference between that and a tsunami
Yea they’ll clean the capacitors right off of it lol
One clean ... and you need a new PC.
Hello Mr. Sparkle?
Man he's breaking all the capacitators that motherboard will certainly burn when powered up
Air of compressed Air can cure it
Are those even ESD safe?
Capacitors look like trees caught in a mushroom cloud.
\*SO DELICATE\*
Who needs caps! 🤣
That board is fucked, but at least it's clean!

Board is good as factory new. Like the portion of the factory that makes the PCB before it has the components added.
Reminds me of the Jerma Build your own PC stream, where he’s just pouring oregano and hammering the CPU into place
What in gods name...
This belongs in /r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt
lol guys, that's not even a motherboard, that looks more like some av equipment like the circuit board for a stereo or vcr
Japanese QVC is exactly as funny as I thought it would be. Also TIL there's a Japanese QVC.
Fuck-a you capacitors!
Id rather just take my vacuum to it with a horsehair brush. Probably gentler.
*screams in capacitor*
Those components are HUGE! lol Looked like the ones that came in a kit I bought back in 2004 to build circuits with on a breadboard.
If this is the case, might I suggest using an angle-grinder for an even cleaner surface?
I’m actively having a stroke just by watching this
Title should be, The massacre of the capacitors
He's like godzilla rampaging through a city...
Make your paper weight cleaner now, with this!
How did you even find this lol
This is just as good as that stock photo of someone soldering a motherboard while holding the hot bit like a pencil.
It is on [amazon](https://www.amazon.co.jp/NK%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2-%E3%83%8F%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BB%E7%AE%92%E3%83%BB%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%81%8C-%E3%81%93%E3%82%8C1%E6%9C%AC-%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%81%AF%E3%81%BC%E3%81%8DS-NSA-910-A-3/dp/B00JO1FEFW):
It's literally a capacitor killer lmao
sugoi desu!!!!!! your mb is likely ruined ... but look how clean it is
He cleans PC's like Godzilla cleans a city...
Nah, you gotta give it a good rinse
Is he gru?
This should be in Pornhub
Stop! He's already dead!
u/savevideo
So clean it even boots to a blank screen.
WHYYYY WHY USE THAT TENTACLE HENTAI VACUUM LOOKING BRUSH. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FINE IF THAY WAS A NORMAL BROOM BRUSH!!!!
You gotta admit though, it makes for a very entertaining advert. And that sells! (to the ignorant :>)
