Posted July 28, 2019 Alright, so I have a can of compressed air ready, I'm gonna use it for cleaning my PC, which I will be doing a few months later. First time I'm having a PC. But the only part I'm confused about cleaning it is the CPU Heatsink. I have a Deepcool Gammaxx 300R right now. So how will I strategically spray air into mine right now? Without damaging the system, obviously. Is it the same as cleaning your case fans? (Which to do so, you need to hold the blades and spray it) Or is it a different case? Let me know In the description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 28, 2019 Using compressed air directly on your heatsink will be fine. Holding blades in place is recommend to prevent any accidental damage to the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
