You need some way to force air through the heatsinks to blow the dust out of them. You can go to your local big box store and get some canned compressed air, or you can look on Amazon or similar e-tailer and buy a data vac that will do the same thing and save you lots of money in the long run from having to continually buy the cans. 

so no other way? damn... Ill have to wait for a while then... No money right now...

not really no.. you could try and use a vacuum with the brush nozzle, but that will only get you so far.

Well, you can disassemble whole thing, use cotton wipes, toilet paper and blowing through straw (to reach smaller holes). Compressed air, or pumped air (bicycle pump etc.) would be best.

Use them on non-conducting surfaces. Heatsinks, fan blades, shrouds etc.
