Hi

Does anyone here have any experience of Allsop Airduster or Allsop cleaning products in general? is it good?

If we put it like this, is compressed air a good and relatively safe method to clean fans and other components?

yeah compressed air is probably the best way to clean dusty computer components

Seeing how I use an Air Compressor at 150 PSI for all my dusting and have done so for 20 years, I have to say yes using compressed air is a safe way to clean electronic (not just computer) components.

You don't want to use a vacuum to clean computers, The vacuum's motor can generate a huge amount of static electricity that can fry electronics.

Ok, thanks for the replies

You may want to place a finger on a fan blade before spraying them. I know its fun to make them spin up to 15,000 rpm, but it probably isn't real good on them.

Having said that, I rarely do that and I just let them spin away. But I don't think getting them up higher than their rated speed, particularly in reverse, is a very good idea for the longevity of the fan.
