Question Do You Clean Your Desktop Fans & CPU Radiators Out Often?

[Parkinsond]

I wouldn't use a hairdryer, and you really need to be careful. One of my finest 'Darwin award winning' moments was drying out a laptop after spilling coffee all over it. Melted the keyboard .

One minute will not be too long to melt anything.
Besides, ambient temp during this time of year can reach 48 C; actually hair dryer will cool my MB.

I find the task of cleaning out the pc quite therapeutic. I use a can of compressed air fur the interior and the vacuum nozzle for the outer mesh.

I would do this with my laptop too. My old one would allow you to take the cover off without voiding the warranty.

The dust get sticky with time; I need extra lungs for the job.

My friends, @SeriousHoax and @Parkinsond, may not be gentlemen, but they sure know how to keep a computer clean—meet "The League of Extraordinary PC Cleaners!"

Yes, cleaning your desktop fans and CPU radiators every 3–6 months helps prevent overheating and maintains optimal performance.
