    Hi, so i just bought a compressed air can, and im about to clean the vents, but i have a question, at wich side do i have to blow the air, i heard that if you blow and fan rotates the wrong way, it can get damaged.
    Thanks ^^ and sorry for my bad english srsly xD (mexican here :p)

    That reminds me I also have to get a can and clean it eventually... haven't done it since I bought it about 7 months ago.
    Thanks for the tips.
