You know that cleaning your PC is essential not only so that it would look like it’s new all the time but also because you want to make sure that it will run smoothly. Cleaning your PC will help get rid of the stuck dirt but how are you going to clean some parts of your PC properly?

Compressed air is going to do a lot of wonders in order to remove the dust that may have gotten stuck on your PC but this is not enough. You need to use Isopropyl alcohol in order to remove the gunk that has gotten stuck. Once you have removed the dirt, you can place thermal paste on the heat sink again. Cleaning your PC inside and out will not be complicated if you have the right materials to use.

Compressed Air for sure. Alcohol does not make sense for real
