how does this work exactly? I'm trying to clean the insides of my computer and I don't want to fry any parts inside.

You attach it to something grounded such as a turned off power supply and attach it to where the fan is and clip it on the metal part, or you can hook it on a metal part of your computer case. This will remove any Electrostatic Discharge from you (ETSD) and protect and prevent you from frying your computer components.

yes it will work very well without damage if used properly and turning fan nut the proper direction. It will work with ease also.

Safely remove hardware doesn't actually do anything, it only checks to make sure no files are still being transferred before saying "okay to remove hardware." Therefore it's fine to just turn them off.

Yes, I wiped off the excess black oxide the minute I got it, never had a problem since. If you buy the bit extender and the spare bits assortment, you'll need to take a second to wipe those down too. It was terribly exhausting. &lt;sarcasm specifically aimed at the whiny people&gt; I've also had a ton of compliments from other techs. "Dude! Where did you get that!?" lol

I wash my racks in the sink. I have never cleaned the inside of the unit. I lined the bottom and anywhere fat would drip with foil and I just replace the foil. for heaven's sake don't clean the walls or door. that's where all the flavor comes from!

It's 1 time usage, cuz it's a form of liquid metal. It turns solid/hard when pc is off. But I have it for 2 years now on a the cpu and it's still there. I would imagine it would last 5+ years if you don't take off the heatsink or unused in syringe. So I wouldn't recommend taking of the heatsink or reappplying the product.

I use it on the inside of pots and pans with no problems..It is the best metal cleaner I have ever used.

I've had two since purchased and I've never had any issues. Can imagine that's a monitor specific issue rather than a power issue, I'd say internal components are more likely to fail first over external if for some reason you are really stressing the PSU.

Do not use water on the salt crystals - the salt will melt. Best suggestion would be to use your canned air for the computer to blow any dust off. If you have dirt or grime you need to remove, I suggest a damp (not wet) wash cloth.

Yeah, you have to clean the whole thing. Most does go into the external collector, but some stays in the other parts as well.

If it is a good PSU like a Corsair, Seasonic or an Antec you will likely be fine. With a cheap PSU it will likely shut down your computer periodically at best and instantaneously at worst.

The reason you don't want to use this to clean the inside of your camera is because there is a chance when you blow air in you'll also blow in more dust. They are recommending you don't do this because you can end up doing more bad than good.

Brandon,Yes, to both of your questions. Please note that the proper installation of any component that does not damage the computer will *not* void the warranty on the system.

I used it along with swabs and acid brushes to clean a key board of cat piss. The liquid is none conductive but I would remove the batteries . Seems safe for pc boards etc.

should never use cleaning disk..... that simply is to clean residue in maker. Use tea discs only or boil water on stove, safe way to do it.

Oh definately yes the fan in this power supply should always spin, because it is not thermally controlled. That is a hazard. It may damage your computer also if the power supply overheats and causes a fault. Please return it immediately.
