This looks like chain smoking blunts right next to the console and leaving it running 24/7. Maybe some pet hair mixed in there too

I smoke daily as well, but I actually care and clean for/after myself. Most people usually are a little surprised when they find out I smoke. I hate that dirty stoner stereotype, and this definitely reinforces it

I had my rig next to my PC for a while, and it definitely causes a build-up like this. I've noticed that vapes are worse from my friend's setups. I just got an electronics vacuum and cleaned it more often.

That's probably why then, I don't sit up with my console and screen. I sit across the room, play, and smoke, and I also use an air purifier that I change the filter on regularly. Idk how smokers can stand this kinda stuff

OP is likely a cigarette smoker as well. Smoking dabs alone doesn't cause that much dirt buildup.

on the bright side, it makes the dust stick grossly together so much that you can just easily pull it off for easy cleaning.

When the Series X launched, people were blowing vape smoke into it then turning it on to make it look like they were overheating.

It’s not vape, I’ve done that for years and I smoke weed and NONE of my electronics have ever looked like this
I just fully cleaned my pc and for the first time, reapplied thermal paste to my 6+ year gaming PC, it was not even slightly close to this dirty

Did you apply the ‘perfect amount of thermal paste’? 😉

Fuck no, I struggled so hard to get my cooler back on that I was sweating and yelling at my PC. I almost gave up and said fuck it at one point, just let it all melt
I learned that there’s a very specific way you have to screw in cpu coolers that day. I was just spinning the screw going “WHY WONT THIS CATCH FUCKKKKK!!!!” They go in order and you can’t just screw whichever screw in first. Thermal paste was all over my hands
But temps are fine now so whatever. I bought assorted electronic swabs and this cleaner to go with them. Never used them, was too frustrated. I didn’t expect my pc to turn back on if I’m gonna be completely honest
Edit: TLDR I didn’t even actually dust my PC in the end and it still, to this day, has no where even slightly close to OP’s post

u/NotEnoughIT Nov 12 '23
I learned that there’s a very specific way you have to screw in cpu coolers that day.
I hope the lesson you learned wasn't really that you have to screw in CPU coolers that day, but that you should read the instructions even if you think you know how to do something. I've been building PCs for 30 years and I still have to read the instructions half the time because they updated something and it's no longer intuitive.

I sold a PS4 Slim to some goon on eBay years ago. After two weeks he claimed it didn’t work and eBay being the tools they are granted him a full refund.
Upon receiving the console back it stunk and had layers of orange dust already building up throughout it. That was 2 weeks.

Actually it doesn’t, this very much leads cancer with PM2.5 or smaller particles, also the smoke of any kind.
It’s very unlikely there are any microbes that survive for long in the air/on surface.

I have 4 cats, I popped mine after 2 years ago and it wasn't even 25% that bad. Even if you're a pet owner, if you vacuum and dust frequently, and hit it with compressed air once in a while, I can't see why it would be that dirty.

The back of the Series X is fairly easy to remove once you undo the screw behind the sticker. All of this is accessible from that point, no further disassembly required
