Which accessories on a computer can be washed with water?

When it comes to cleaning the computer, most people can think of methods other than brushing, blowing, sucking away the dust on the surface of various accessories, and the tools used are limited to soft brushes, leather tigers, vacuum cleaners and these kinds of. But these methods have their own shortcomings. Just like dirty hair, with a comb or hairdryer obviously can not be cleaned, even if you have the courage to pick up a vacuum cleaner ...... results are equally unhelpful. The most effective way to clean your hair is to wash it with water and shampoo, and then let it air dry.CPU: Cleaning is a piece of cake Relatively speaking, the CPU can be considered the easiest accessory to clean, in order to prevent the fragile CPU core from being crushed by the radiator, today's mainstream CPU has a sealed metal cover on the top of the CPU to provide protection for it. With the cooler on top of the CPU and the motherboard underneath it, there's almost no room for dust to get in, so cleaning is almost never necessary. All you need to do is wipe the surface of the CPU with a damp rag and wait for the moisture to dry out. Compared to AMD processors, Intel processors do not have pins, so it is easier to clean. However, some of the CPU top cover is not completely closed, if you find that there is water from the CPU top cover and the gap in the middle of the substrate infiltration, there is no need to panic, will infiltrate into the CPU in the water completely dry, plug in the motherboard can still be used normally. The CPU cooler is not that big compared to larger accessories like boards and cards, but its heatsink and fan are the easiest places in the host to accumulate dust, and it's hard to clean the dust on it with just a brush or a leather tiger. To thoroughly clean the radiator, you can first wipe off the residual silicone grease on the heatsink, the radiator fan and heatsink removed, rinsed with water and then dry naturally, to ensure that the fan bearings are completely dry and reassembled and coated with cooling silicone grease, chassis fans and other accessories can be cleaned in this way. If you are afraid of not drying fan bearings on the use will lead to damage, you can rinse the heatsink with water, use a brush and cotton swabs dipped in water to clean the fan blades, just simply dry the heatsink on the line. CPU cooler is one of the most difficult to clean accessories in the computer, water can achieve a better cleaning effect of the memory: wash more refreshing next to the CPU cooler "! The advantage of the "ground", so that the memory is also inevitably reduced to the computer host in the "dust eaters", will inevitably fall on a thick layer of dust, which not only affects the memory heat dissipation, but also because of the dust particles charged with triggering a variety of failures. To deal with this dust, if you have enough time, the most economical way is still to flush with water. However, the construction of memory is much more complex than a heat sink, so after rinsing, be sure to leave enough time to ensure that the water on the memory particles, gold fingers, rows of resistance and other components are completely dry before being put into use. Compact size of the memory, but also computer hosts within the "dust eaters" motherboard: a big block to be a big toss As a result of the complexity of the structure of the components, the motherboard cleaning work is relatively difficult to come to a greater extent. Before cleaning the motherboard, the first thing to do is to remove the top parts can be removed as much as possible, in addition to the CPU, fans, memory, graphics cards and other accessories, a variety of wires, plugs, batteries should also be removed. When cleaning with water, pay attention to rinse all kinds of slots, pins and other places where dust can easily accumulate, after carefully rinsing with water, it is best to use a leather tiger to blow off the slots, interfaces, pins and other parts of the water, and then use the hairdryer's cold wind to repeatedly blow dry the water on the motherboard and the motherboard will be placed in a dry and ventilated place to dry for at least one to two days (humidity in the south than the dry north needs a longer period of time). Ensure that the motherboard is completely dry, it is recommended that we do not rush to install other accessories, it is best to connect the motherboard to the power supply and boot. If the motherboard is powered on and running without any difference, then the motherboard will be powered off and installed one by one on the battery, CPU, radiator, memory, graphics card, hard disk and other accessories, so that you can avoid damage to the motherboard caused by the accidental loss of other accessories. Because of the complexity of the construction of a large number of components, the motherboard cleaning work has a greater degree of difficulty graphics card: don't forget to apply silicone grease after washing the graphics card cleaning method, and the motherboard can be said to be much the same. However, before cleaning the graphics card, you need to carefully remove the graphics card cooler, and then rinse with the graphics card separately. After the cleaning is completed, blow dry the graphics card and radiator surface and interface position of the water, and placed in a dry and ventilated place for a long time after drying, the graphics card and radiator can be assembled. However, before installing the graphics card cooler, do not forget to reapply thermal grease, after all, most of today's mainstream graphics cards have far beyond the power of the CPU. remember! Graphics cards seem to be smaller than the motherboard, but the cleaning process is equally troublesome Keyboard and mouse: waterproof into a fashion As a computer user every day to touch the longest peripheral, the keyboard is very easy to be stained from the hands of people with a variety of sweat and oil. Considering that the probability of users spilling water on the keyboard is quite high, more and more keyboards are beginning to adopt waterproof design, which also makes it more convenient for us to rinse the keyboard with water. However, it should be noted that among the keyboard products claiming to adopt waterproof design, they are also categorized into different grades such as fully waterproof, semi-waterproof and splash-proof. Full waterproof keyboard circuit boards and membrane circuitry are waterproof sealing treatment, the keyboard can be immersed in water to use or clean; semi-waterproof keyboard can be discharged in the liquid spilled on the keyboard, the main key area can be placed in the water to clean, but you need to avoid the upper part of the circuit board into the water; splash-proof keyboards are only able to discharged spilled in the keyboard of a small amount of liquid, must be dried after rinsing. If you are not sure which type your keyboard belongs to, it is best to rinse the keyboard under the premise of power off, after the water inside the keyboard flows out, and then put it to a dry and ventilated place to ensure that the water in the circuit board inside the keyboard is completely dry. As for the mouse, taking into account the mechanical mouse has been eliminated, we only need to use a damp cloth to wipe off the dust and dirt on the surface of the mouse when cleaning the optical mouse, and then use a cotton swab dipped in detergent to clean the mouse's optical head. Many of the mainstream keyboards on the market today have a certain waterproof function power supply: not incompatible with water When it comes to the power supply meets the water, many people will talk about the tiger color change. But in fact, there is no absolute, in the energized state, water splash power supply will of course lead to a disaster; if it is in the power-off state, water and power is not so incompatible. At least in the case of dirt inside the power supply is difficult to clean, we can also try to use water to clean. An old power supply that has accumulated a lot of dust can be disassembled and rinsed with water to be comparable to a brand new power supply. But we also want to remind you, do not think that the surface of the power supply is dry and can be energized. Because the internal structure of the power supply is very complex and tight, in the layers of circuit boards, capacitors, coils, chips and many small gaps, there is still water. If the power supply at this time hastily energized, a burst of sparks and smoke after you will not cry. It is recommended that after drying the surface of the various devices with the cold air of the hairdryer, dry them in an open state for two to three days to ensure that the internal water is completely evaporated. The internal structure of the power supply is more complex and tight, cleaning and drying takes a longer time chassis: flushing cleaning more efficient After disassembling all the accessories in the chassis, we can directly rinse the interior of the chassis. As a result of a certain water pressure, the dirt attached to the interior of the chassis is more likely to be flushed out, and with the flow of water out of the chassis in a timely manner. After the chassis is flushed clean, it is time to air dry the chassis. In order to ensure that the chassis of various front interface extremely line in the water completely evaporated, also need to dry for a longer period of time. After the chassis tin surface of the water completely evaporated, generally still need to dry more than a day before being put into use. Chassis internal cleaning can also be used to wash and flush the way other cleaning methods: a reasonable combination of better results The previous section introduces a number of accessories that can be washed with water and its cleaning methods, but not all the accessories can be washed. For example, LCD monitors, hard disks, optical drives and other equipment of their own physical structure, it is decided to use water directly rinse is not feasible. If you find the LCD monitor surface dirt, you can use eyeglasses cloth, cotton wool, lens paper slightly moistened with water to clean the dirt. Do not use alcohol, ammonia, inorganic salts containing cleaning solution to wipe the LCD surface, which will destroy the LCD special chemical protective film layer. In addition, there are LCD special cleaning products on the market for sale.
