Cleaning My DIRTIEST PC! Phanteks P600S 4 Months Later

2019-06-26
well hello good people I'm three tree and I've had the P 600 s from Pantex for about four months now and this has been my main production machine it's been on for at least eight hours a day for four months so it has gotten a lot of air flow through it and one of the main concerns from people about this enclosure has been dust accumulation over time because of this whole fabric performance mesh at the front and the top now I initially wanted to place my thread per system inside the P 600 s and fortunately this case does not support the ATX motherboards which is what my thread Ripper system is all about so instead let me show you how I clean my system and see exactly how dirty it has gotten on the interior and what has happened with the fabric mesh and all the dust filters let's begin after this the new razor blade still defines portability without compromising on performance featuring Intel's latest agent CPU and NVIDIA MX 150 GPU up to 16 gigabytes of memory and up to 13 hours of battery life experienced some of the most popular games wherever you are learn more about the blade stealth down below alright so the first thing I will say is just how happy I am with that exterior performance mesh surprisingly it has not been clogged up by dust particles and it's condition is almost as they won but I will say the second layer of this performance fabric is slightly more grey than the first but the quick vacuum cleans it up and turns out that it's the front dust filter that has accumulated a lot of that dust in the past four months and it's really only during this sort of analysis that I can appreciate a quality dust proof design not only is the filter flush against the frame meaning nothing gets through the sides but both panels have these rubber seals to close off any potential dust entrance fear smaller openings for airflow I got two fans installed at the front and that is evident by the dust gradient which looks hilarious and again I'm surprised that not more of these fine particles are stuck to the more course performance mesh at the front I vacuumed out the dust filter but due to the really fine nature of the threading I'd recommend washing the filter as well to remove anything that wasn't picked up by the suction and now we're basically back to day one cleanliness of this front panel now the fan blades collect dust as well and it's a good indication of how much penetrating the front filter I vacuum the bigger stuff carefully and clean up each blade with the damp paper towel and I'm honestly a bit surprised just how dirty things have gotten in just four months if that is indication of how clean my space is then my space is not very clean and moving inside the dust adventures continue with a thin layer on the psuche out and about the same on top of the GPU that might settle through the top mesh or get sucked through the PCI slots although the back of the case is very clean so I don't think the GPU fans are sucking and all that dust also the rear fan is much cleaner than the front ones now to clean this I use a damp microfiber cloth and that is something you should avoid doing because of the static that it might create but mine was wet and I navigate carefully what surprised me the most horror is how dirty the radiator was almost on the same level as the front dust filter and yes I have used this all-in-one cooler in another machine for about two weeks but it spent majority of its time inside the P 600 s and that is really alarming it looks like whatever dust find its way inside the case is sucked through the top exhaust which is why it gets so clogged up instead of it coming through the rear and the best way to clean the rod fins is not with a vacuum cleaner like I knew here but with a dust blower and also looks like because I'm exhausting through the top the mesh here is also surprisingly clean like the front despite all that settling dust and the last thing I do is a final sweep with my manual air blower to pick up any particles around the pump and the GPU and now my system is fully cleaned up inside and out and so it turns out to no surprise that the dust front accumulation and the clogged up radiator was a massive airflow bottleneck as we are now running 10 degrees Celsius cooler on the CPU at load after the cleanup and that makes sense removing a lot of the dust particles from the radiator and the front and also the noise profile of the system with full rpm on the fans it's much quieter I'm guessing there's less turbulence and just airflow is exiting and entering without too much restriction and to be honest I was expecting the front mesh and the top mesh to be completely full of dust of like tiny dust particles lose its black color given the distribution of those fine particles on the interior but I'm guessing a lot of that dust just goes right through based on the design of the threading of that performance mesh and a lot of the dust is being caught by the actual dust filter instead McMahon I was not expecting such drastic CPU temperature difference it's a good reminder to a periodic clean your system so it runs cleaner and cooler and now I have to be thinking about my thread Ripper system and what case I should choose for the e ATX motherboard I wish that the P 600 has supported that's larger motherboard size but it doesn't so why don't we decide this together what should be my next case for that monster Rison system that have sitting right there and waiting to chew through the Vinci resolved and through some games as well and just prepare for my you know eventual return back to AMD so let me know in the comments thanks so much for watching I'm a Dmitry check out this other world and content subscribe if you love this content and stay clean my friends your system and you deserve it
