One of the most well-known streamers is Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm. He could not stream recently because he was struggling with PC issues, which he was able to resolve quite easily afterward.
Who is Dr Disrespect? Dr Disrespect is a persona portrayed by Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV. A black wig, a prominent mustache, and striking sunglasses are his trademarks. He plays a role in which he considers himself the best and greatest gamer. His career as a Twitch and YouTube streamer can be read here on MeinMMO.
Yet even the greatest gamer is not protected from problems. Recently, he had to end a stream because his gaming PC was not cooperating. Even the Doctor has to solve his problems with very simple tools.
“Dr Dustrespect” first has to clean his PC
What problem was the streamer facing? In a 20-second video on Twitter, the Doctor shows the inside of his gaming PC. And the inside is totally dirty with dust and cobwebs coming out at him.
His graphics card and the case are covered with a thick layer of dust. With a mini blower, he cleans the computer in his video, making the dust fly in all directions.

He does not mention or show how long he spends cleaning. The cleaning probably took quite a while since he even had to skip a stream for it.
What are the reactions? The user reactions do not take long to come. The reactions range from amusement, sarcasm to understanding for the dirty gaming PC. A few even mockingly call him “Dr Dustrespect”:
- “How on earth is your PC in this condition, I’m dying laughing.”
- “Oh no! The 300,000-dollar setup!”
- “A multi-billion-dollar gaming industry, state-of-the-art technology, but still using canned air to clean the old computer… The epitome of humility, ladies and gentlemen.
Everyone should clean their gaming PC regularly
Every gamer who owns a gaming PC should regularly clean their PC. Because as soon as your graphics card or fans become heavily contaminated, your system can no longer dissipate heat properly. And as soon as your hardware gets very hot, your system may throttle the graphics card and processor to reduce the temperature in the worst-case scenario.
To prevent your computer from getting heavily dusty, you should make sure to place it on a solid surface and not on a carpet. Dust filters can also help keep dust or pet hair away from your hardware.
How worthwhile it is to remove your graphics card from the computer and clean it has been explained by MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann on MeinMMO. The effort is manageable and the financial cost is also low, but the result can be impressive:
