Have you cleaned your PC this month? I gave all my innards and fans a good clean and now it runs 10 degrees C cooler.

I'm not surprised
Anyone got any tips on how to properly clean parts like the fans and the motherboard? Want to give my pc a overhaul with a new gpu the next weeks and want it to be as dust free as possible

Not my PC though. But I do have an R4.

Canned air/compressor mostly.
Use cotton buds for dust stuck to fan blades.

A stiff bristled paintbrush is what I use.

Make sure it is horsehair or anti static.
Just cleaned my laptop vent ports with canned air, encoding H264 video at 2.3 GHz results in only 160F/71C max. This is an old APU laptop too, feels good.
I blow air from a huge compressor every few months. Don't know when i'll clean again. Maybe when I can find a better CPU cooler for my Optiplex 7010, running the stock one that comes with that thing.
Does anybody know of any that would work?

Any ideas to improve airflow are appreciated.

Nope.
I have to buy a can of air, isopropylic alcohol and a fucking long allen key to unscrew the heatsinks.
No, but I'm quite sure that it's nice inside. Use air cleaners, people. Keeps your rooms cleaner too.
