Can Dust Kill A Psu at Randi Frank blog

Can Dust Kill A Psu. The power supply may be entering some kind of thermal protection, where when too hot, it. Over time, dust and dirt buildup can gradually reduce a psu’s efficiency and lifespan. Dust can be conductive, meaning it may cause the feedback network used for the controller to read the wrong value; However, cleaning a psu requires caution as they contain high voltages even when unplugged. It could, most likely from suffocating it, or preventing the fan from spinning. I don't believe in this sort of perfect. You can't clean in inside of a power supply safely so it's best to discard it and replace it with an undamaged unit rather than risk killing. Though do note that idle a lot of psu's fans do shut off. A dirty psu also runs the risk of overheating, which can significantly damage components or even cause fires. We also highlighted the importance of understanding psu dust buildup, gathering the necessary tools. My question is, has anyone heard of, say, a faulty motherboard affecting and eventually killing a psu? It could be a factor as dust creates more air resistance making the fan have to spin faster (therefore louder) to achieve the same amount of.
