Go to solution Solved by Cubit481,

I don't want to pay for compressed air cans, and the dust filters on the Define r4 aren't 100% dustproof. (not that anything could be, without restricting airflow to the point of system failure)

i use paint brush to clean some of the components too...it can easily reach places...even the coolers on the gpu as well as heat sink... :P

I used a paint brush too, it was fine.

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

I mean... yeah... but it'll take forever... if you have nothing better to do, couldn't hurt to try. You're not going to damage anything.

Is there any risk of generating static?
