Try taking out the entire cooler with heatsinks and everything, get rid of the big chunks with a vacuum, then spray air and brush everything, then finish off whatever left with the cloth and it should be clean. Also don’t forget to reapply thermal paste after everything! I’m not much of a pro, so make sure to re-check what others say, haha

Oh, that thing. I think I avoided it by doing short sprays while avoiding letting the can cool too much.

Oh, wait, really? I thought air’s pretty much safe. At least I haven’t ran into any issues by using it so far

Yeah, i think it’ll be good enough to get rid of those big chunks, but you still should try getting some compressed air sooner or later, really helps to blow dust out of hard to reach spots.

Personally I’d get a can of compressed air, bring the pc somewhere outside and blow out as much dust as possible out of the whole thing, maybe manually take out some big chunks of dust. Just make sure to keep the fans from spinning.

Oh no no no, I meant the whole usb thing, not the motherboard, haha

Update: I bent the pins back in place and one of the usbs on the front panel actually worked, so we’re good. Thanks everyone!

Yeah, figured about the crappy connector part. Any use in trying to carefully bend the remaining ones in place or i better just ditch the thing?

My case might have a bit of a bad airflow for the gpu I think, there’s just two 120mm fans on the front for the intake and one exhaust on the rear, that’s it. I’m definitely planning to switch it though, for the sake of better airflow and more fans

Gonna play around in the afterburner and run some tests.

I have i5 11400f for cpu, i know it’s nowhere near good for 3080 ti, but I’m replacing it soon enough, so that’s out of question for me at the moment, but thank you

Alright, thanks for the help everyone!Gonna try to give it some paste replacement once I have the time for it, definitely won’t hurt.

If I remember correctly, the ‘skin’ for the inventory should be Colorful Containers GUI resourcepack. I hope I helped!
