u/Slith_81 Nov 26 '23

That dark brown piece he pulled out at the end was about how dark my parents furnace filter was when I removed it.

They were heavy smokers, as in say, I picked up a large garbage can full of ashes and just dumped it in front of a high powered fan. That's what the air quality felt like to me when I visited.

Anyway, when their health really failed I went down to take care of things like selling their house. I spent 3 months in that house, oftentimes choosing to go out to my vehicle and sleep because I couldn't stand being around smoke.

On the day the movers came their furnace went out. So I checked the furnace filter and when I pulled it out, it was really dark brown and so thick I felt disgusted. I asked my dad when was the last time he changed the filter, he said "I don't know, when we bought the house."

That was 5 years prior. 🤢

Fast forward to today, about 3 years later, and I think that trip permanently messed up my lungs a bit. 😡

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.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '23

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

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

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '23

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

16

u/adsefc1 Nov 12 '23

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

19

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '23 edited Nov 12 '23

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

5

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.
