Why does my graphics card fan clog with dust so quickly?
Could be a number of things or a combination of them....


your tower is not fitted....you have an older system that sucks air in instead of blowing air over and out of your case...it's located (tower) in a dusty environment....your expansion slots don't have the cover strips on them when they are not occupied..your tower is sitting on the carpet near your feet and your foot motion creates extra dust. Check for these things and correct as necessary. When cleaning, take care...use an antistatic wrist strap and don't put a metal vacuum anywhere near your PC.
Reply:your house or workspace/area might be dusty or dirty...try cleaning it..
Reply:Make sure the area around your PC is as dust free as possible.


It would also be a good idea to clean the dust inside the entire PC, otherwise it just keeps circulating inside the case.


Make sure you are static free and the PC is off :)
Reply:No offense but... It's because your house is a scumhole and you sit on your *** playing video games too much.
Reply:try cleaning your house more often. dont have your computer on the floor where it can suck in dust
