I also cant really see any screws to unscrew it with, it seems to be very attached to this big metal square block.
    Houston, we have a problem.

    True...so very, very true.

    Maybe the "big, square metal block" part comes later in the course.

    Just hang in there.

    Well anyway with a fine brush and a computer hover i managed to remove alot of the dust and know its running at 56 degrees. Although there is still alot of dust i cant exactly reach, is there NO way at all to remove the fan from the heat-sink without damaging it? It appears the fan is only attached by 4 pieces of metal wire that looks like they could be taken off for cleaing and replaced again.

    But its not something i want to attempt without knowing that there is nothing else under there attaching it.
