I would like to clean the dust out of my CPU heat sink because im sure that makes it hotter. Plus, CPUs work faster cool. I already know the CPU will burn up if I do it while the computer is on. Also, will I be able to put the heat sink back on with no problems?
the air cans work fair but they dont get really caked on dust like on those more advanced copper heat sinks. For those situations a small but somewhat stiff brush gets the dust off better.
keep your PC clean of dust by using a caned air on it once a month.
This will keep it running better and it will last longer.
Also shut down at night, it will turn off the fans and such which are normally the first to fail.
