It doesnt help im doing a computer practitioners course does it, no wonder im going to fail.

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

Just hang in there.

Don't worry, these guys will help you :) (:wags finger gently: at the no0b teasing)

Don't ask me though, I know less about this sort of thing than you do! :lol: :lol:

Then how do you know we're teasing him?

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.
