And like I stated in my previous post, without a in-line water separator it's just like applying glue for dust to stick to!!! Even a $6 machismo 1 would work. http://www.harborfreight.com/c...12&zmac=112&zmap=43764 ------------------------- Antec 1650B PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910w ASUS M3A79-T DeLuxe 1090T x6 @Boiling in the La-Boratory Corsair H70 OCZ Reaper 8500 2x2 *Pending ASUS 5970 (under OC investigation) EVGA 260 55nm (holding pattern) SeaGate 320x2 16GB Sata Creative X-Fi Elite Pro Logitech Z-5500 XP Pro SP2

It will just give direct heat to the chip and other components which is not recommended. The more you blow the more the heat gets accumulated. Remember we are trying to keep our system as cool as possible not heat it. ------------------------- Am the King!!! Tomcat Linux Tomcat Configuration Tomcat Logging

First of all welcome to the forum!! Secondly....you should probably remove your full name from your signature block.....identity theft is real. Thirdly....vacuum cleaners build up static electricity when they run which can kill your components. If that was not the case then there would be no such thing as cans of compressed air. Does not happen all of the time and you can get lucky and have no problems at all, but is it really worth the risk? ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of Advanced Micro Devices or any of their affiliates.

Clean your case as often as possible and when not in use cover your case . ------------------------- Room Temp H20 \| 2 Stage Cascade \| PH II X6 1090T BE \| PH II X2 555 / Asus CH4 v905 \| i7 970 / Asus R2E v1914 \| Corsair HX1000 1210W \| Asus 5970 QF \| Corsair Dominator GT 2000 \| WD VR 3+0 Raid ( 450gb )
