deep cleaning my pc desktop or hire someone else to do it?
I cleaned my PC desktop today, but I didn’t perform a deep cleaning. Since my PC is only three weeks old and there isn’t much dust inside the graphics card and other components, I’m wondering if I should deep clean it in the near future or hire someone else to do it for me.

steam have a hardware and os forum... and youtube is good for this stuff...

you could probably go 3 years without a deep clean depending on
dust levels where you are....

It depends a lot more on the case you are using.
If the case has no dust filters at the intakes you should at least check once a year.
With ones you may have no issues for way longer.

3 weeks old? I do not remember when i did it last time.
I look if there is dust on the cooler metal, if not its fine.

Also if you have the right case there does not get dust inside in the first place. And you just vacuum the air entry filters.
Grafic cards you get such that have big fans and they blow on metal you can see. NEVER get a grafic card that has a case and a fan blowing inside it.
Side blower fans for cpu, no dust gets blown on the board.

sounds good...

being aware of your computers temperature as well will help...

my last computer had a filter on the bottom i didnt know about...
my computer temps dropped after it was cleaned....
that was a carpet of 5 years of dust collection...

i see thank you I will keep the second choice in mind if I worry about myself may break my pc doing a deep cleaning after 6 month then I would give it to someone else who know about computer deep cleaning to do it for me.

never did this.. never will... upgraded and built my own for close to 26 yrs. Even back in 1998-2000 never would trust anyone else to touch my pc... Don't worry so much about dust. And deep cleaning sound like a waste of cash..imho
