How to clean the P-6860?

Hello everyone!
I recently got my P-6860 last week from TigerDirect.ca and so far so good!

I was thinking, after a couple of weeks, how would I go about cleaning the dust on the machine (fans, etc.) to keep it from overheating?

Would I require the use of compressed air? Im kind of scared pushing the dust further into the machine.

I would definitely appreciate it! Thanks!

 

To the clean the CPU vent, you open the back - take out the entire heatsink and blow through the exhaust... The dust will be easilly visible

I cleaned my GPU fan, by taking a hairdrier (innovative, i know ) , set the mode on cool air - and let rip through the exhaust on the left side (not through the air-intake on the bottom)... Not sure if blowing through the intake would work, but thats not how I did it

My method of cleaning out the GPU fan, does work. It lowered my temps from 95c max temp to around 70c.

 

Why not use compressed air on the GPU as well?
I have to figure out if my hairdryer has a cool-blow option

 

I use my army of diminuative gremlins to eat the dust away. This saves alot on bills as i dont pay for a cleaning lady or trash collecting with them around.

but for "normal" people with out the benifits of a gremlin army phasio's idea works great too.

Though i typically recommend canned air over a hairdryer (worried about static)

 

The reasons as to why I use a hairdrier are quite simple.

1. It works.
2. I am lazy.
3. See above, add cheap.

The day that I am paying for canned air.. PUH-LEASE! Unless Im going diving, then I aint paying for air

Btw Kamin... LOOL @ Your personal gremlin army..

 

That's not fair! Where can I get one?

Canned air is obviously the better choice from hiring gremlins. First off its cheaper, and secondly they don't go by the hour.

 

Those aren't actually gremlins... They are dust mites, and that is disgusting
