Just a new compressor which has yielded a massive improvement in the clean on my fans and fins. I will do this every 3-4 months and the dust that comes out even with filters is amazing. My temps dropped by 5-8 degrees ! Keep 'em clean boys and girls !

Be careful with strong compressed air on the fans if they are free spinning. Spin them to fast could damage the bearing. A Guy

I realize most people discourage the use of a vacuum to clean inside a PC, but I have been doing it for years. I have a shop vac and I found this 1-1/4" Micro Cleaning Kit - Shop-Vac Accessories mini-tool kit and it works great.
I find pulling dust and dirt out instead of blowing it out into the room to be better.

Bill's right, if you use compressed air on a fan it can exceed it rated speed and destroy itself, stick a finger in the blades so it won't spin.

That's an excellent point and why I always use a small screw driver or my hand to stop all fans when blow them off. I always clean outside as the amount of dust stored in the case can flat amaze!

i know a couple of peeps that use a hoover and have done the whole time they've had a pc. i always tell em not too and they always answer ive done it for years n nothing has ever gone bad. then a wk later one of them lost a gtx460 to a hoover. lesson learned lol. its not worth the risk in my eyes. atleast u can get in there n do the job proppa by hand
