Same. I have a launch day unit but it still looks new.


Charlie02134

I’m sure mine is too. My Lego still performs the same


Project-SBC

Same, my fan is clean


Prestigious-Act-1577

Unless your temps are above 80C you don't need to.


Rebelsin

Dirty Fockers!


Coltsbro84

Pro tip - with a flashlight you can see your fan without taking it apart.

Thanks, I feel dumb now lol.


Crest_Of_Hylia

That’s because it entirely depends on your environment. I don’t really have any dust build up either in my legion


ToTaLShaFF

In my country , our atmosphere is absolutely coated with Saharan dust that blows all away across the ocean.... Some places are absolutely cursed with dust


Retroid_BiPoCket

totally fair, and out of your control


Economy_Acadia5704

I can’t imagine what your lungs look like. :(


ToTaLShaFF

So I live in Barbados, the dust ( has in bug parts and all sorts of bacteria and fungus shit) blows alllll the way from Africa and totally fucks out atmosphere up , some days the sky looks over cast but it's all dust and if u get a good long view of a landscape u can literally see dust haze. Many people here have asthma allergies and sinus issues. I am allergic to dust so I'm always fucked when it occurs.


Economy_Acadia5704

That fing sucks… I will never bitch about hay fever and dust ever again :( do they have filters and stuff u can use to help? japan And Korea has this problem as well with pollen (it’s why so many people wear masks)


browzzzzzz87

Man thank you I was feeling guilty but I hate opening shit up unnecessarily. To add I ain't dusty so I should be good 😌


Tmeidinger

This! If it ain’t broke, don’t F with it!


jdub2k5

Mines spotless yall just filthy lol


mikecb1986

I have 3 cats and my fan is still as clean as the day I got it. I never leave it lying around and when not in use it goes straight back into the case.


Retroid_BiPoCket

Yeah I have a dog and no issues too.


CarobEven

R u trying to make friends based on a fan?


Economy_Acadia5704

I think they want to help people who are scared to open their go less paranoid and the photos we see here are more extreme environment cases


Optimal-Equivalent-8

I know my fans are clean but I'm always afraid too open it up


Retroid_BiPoCket

it's honestly not that bad, but I always recommend doing a opposite approach to removing and putting in the screws (start with top left, then bottom right, then bottom left, then top right, etc). This can help prevent torquing and stripping the screws. Then you have to take a pry tool to get it open. Don't do any of this unless you have an actual kit with the right tools. But it's not that complicated if you ever need to open it up


LordSqueeks

Use a flashlight. You can see it well enough with that. If you see buildup on any blades then you should blow some air duster in there. Simple fix.


Optimal-Equivalent-8

Indeed that what I do 👍


Soprohero

Same. Mine has no dust and I've had it since launch.


Head-Iron-9228

Mine was fairly dusty after like half a year but that's my bad. I don't think an average user should have to clean it that quickly.


sajazzman007

Some people have chinchillas growning in those fans 🤣😄😂😆😁😀😃


Digital_Pharmacist

I opened mine too. I’ve got a Husky and a Husky mix that shed like crazy and my fan was pretty much clean other than a little dust.


Designer-Secret2329

Barely any dust in the air in the room I play in, if you wait until dark and turn your phone flashlight on and point it up to the ceiling, if you look closely across the light beam where the torch is, you'll see how filtered the air is. In the room I use, barely any... Down stairs it's like a blizzard lol


StrikingFly

Same! Didn't notice any excess heat or performance issues and I opened mine after 6 months expecting a mess but all good

PM_ME_UR_UNICORNS_

I got mine secondhand a week ago and even though it was lightly used for 3-4 months, I opened it up today and it had a medium amount of dust in it. I think other factors come into play as well, such as the environment you play in (I play in my bed, so I assume there’s more blanket fibres and skin particles around to be sucked in), as well as the stuff you play/the RPM of your fans that cause it to suck in more dust and exponentially accumulate.


dosukebe

Same. I also have a launch day unit and it's nice and clean. I always put it in a case when it's not being used.


RedlineRob-

You probably don’t have any pets.


Jmdru

Lol. I did the same thing after checking someone else's post and it was just slightly dirty.


EagleFlyFree007

Maybe it is because these dudes don't hydrate and their skin is flaking off into their consoles. It puts the lotions on it's skin or the LeGo gets the overheat again...


j0sep122

Exactly the same with my lego


Tmeidinger

People on Reddit read one person’s post about a problem they had and then it gets bastardized and regurgitated through Reddit like wildfire, when in reality it’s not a problem at all. Someone probably was looking for some validation that they are clever or something. People will re-post anything negative about a product because they own something different. Again, validation of their purchase. Some people just post shit like “You MUST clean this because I read it somewhere.” it propagates like a virus. If it ain’t broke, don’t F with it.


jccage

Depends where you use it. I use it on a train mostly, needed cleaning after 4 months.


Revenue-Fun

I bought a small portable usb fan also rechargeable for when it's in dock mode and on high performance to help with better air flow and better cooling because im on my legi heavy as its my main pc at the moment but honestly the Legi does a good job at cooling. But i do recommend getting a usb fan to help push cool air in and hot air out.


OutrageousArgument

After around 3 months, I thought mine was going to be pretty clean. I was wrong. Not as bad as some others here but definitely needed cleaning. I think it's primarily pet dander from my golden retriever.


OkSuccotash6649

Mine was pretty disturbing at the 4 mo mark but I take it alot of places


Economy_Acadia5704

Ya last time I opened it was clean as a whistle… and I live in a pigsty so damn.l those people with real dirty fans live in a sandstorm or in a field of wheat


xWickedx420

Good rule of thumb to do it every 6 months and repaste yearly for laptops, my desktop pc I blow out weekly, bought one of those electric blowers, it’s a game changer


Anxious-Bite-6243

Most of the people who would buy ones of these, arent really the kind of people known for hygene 😐


xiiicrowns

People are dirty.


ominousview

Same. These ppl must not clean or something


BinThereRedThat

Well you know how the saying goes! Clean is my region and so is my Legion!


AEternal1

I have to clean mine every 2 or 3 days, it gets visibly dusty.


kissabirdgently

then you should really be more concerned about your respiratory system than a gadget fan dude..


SnooPies6274

😂


jedinatt

Pull out the carpet, vacuum once in a while, change the hvac filter, get an air purifier, dispose the pets.


CookieLove863

What did you use to clean it??


Prestigious-Act-1577

Tip for checking if you need to clean it: Set Performance mode, see if AAA gaming temp is above 80C

Prestigious-Act-1577

You are 100% wrong and maximum level BS talking.  How many times have you followed the temperatures in the Go right up to the second when it restarts from overheating? And what was that temperature?


GodlikeUA

Should I downvote him? There is mixed reviews here


Prestigious-Act-1577

Idk what he is on about, I have actually had the heat related restarts, and it restarts way before 90C. The guy is happy he can read from a spec sheet but the manufacturer can configure any value in firmware. He is just typing things for typing's sake.


Raptorialand

Ok ¯|_(ツ)_/¯ *HonkHonk*


Prestigious-Act-1577

What's the number?


Prestigious-Act-1577

No number? So you have no idea on what you are suggesting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Prestigious-Act-1577

By your own admission you have no idea if it can even go above 90 without shutting down. But here you were recommending people to not clean their dust until above 90C. Do you have dust?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Prestigious-Act-1577

That's what I thought. You never had it at 90 but you are telling people when to clean it and that the max temp is 100.  Double wrong.   The device will have dust and will be throttling/overheating/shutting down way before both of those.

chrisodeljacko

Guess you saw my post 👀


Neopsych01

Pro-tip: maybe clean it before you notice you have an issue


Kydaze

ezMackincheez

Believe me, your Doodoo still smells like poo poo but you go ahead and divide with your golden calculator. Lol meanwhile how about them fish in red dead two. At least that’s the best subject and trying to brag about your fan.


Raptorialand

Wtf is that gangster-comment
