Compressed air works fine. Clean the fan/heatsink as one. Or just grab a few Q-tips and brush off the build up, but the compressed air (in can) is best bet and you can blow clean the entire pc unit ...Quick-Fast :D
As for quieter fan, you may have to change to another, all fans sound different based on size.
i just cleaned my cpu fan the other day and go like 10c lower than normal on cpu temp and its much quiter so its a great way to keep your comp. colder and quieter
Thanks CP im gonna try it out. :)
If you have the time to spare, and the ability to remove the fan, i've found a damp cloth is better and longer lasting than the compressed air, took me an hour to clean last time i did a HSF assembly, but it was worth it
yea well herez a bad method...
take out ur fan AND BLOW!!!! lolz blow the dust off
compressed air is a great way to do it but be carful not to tip the can too much as they tend to spit liquid out and its not good to get it on ur cpu it will freez the spot that it touches and temp. devations are not good for chips
Could u clean it with a hover just want to know and how many times a year sould u clean it
i wouldnt try a vacum it could make static and that could fry things video ram is vary susceptible to static
