How often do you clean your system?

[lRhyss]

If you've got a Desktop, how often do you completely gut the thing? If you've got a laptop (or both) how often do you give the thing a good cleaning? (I'm talking actual, real-life cleaning)

It feels good having a nice clean PC.

I do it every 2 months or so, replaced all the Thermal Paste on my CPU and GPU this time around too

Rarely, I took it apart when my CPU was overheating to add more thermal paste and the bloody thing is a dust fest

im using my fathers pc and its literally held together by dust

I never clean my laptop it sits in a drawer cos the screen's broke and it's inked by vga to a monitor and keyboard which i clean weekly. nothing is more satisfying than cleaning a laptop by taking the keys off though and giving it a nice thorough clean. nothing more frustrating than not being able to get another key back on turning a keyboard over and giving a good bash never fails to give me great pleasure. try it.

Just got the Corsair K70, the keyboard doesn't have any barriers at ether end of the keyboard so all I need to do is hold the thing on it's side and all the crap slides out with a bit of a blow, it's so ******* satisfying.

I never do, I used to replace my computer every year (build a new one like every November) so never felt the need to.

Had this one for a few years but never bothered with cleaning it either, effort.

I need to clean my Laptop as it is overheating a lot. But last time I blasted it with compressed air it stopped the fan from working so don't like to do it.

Take the fan out, hold the blades and use the hoover pipe, maybe you got condensation in or something? I don't really use compressed air
