I opened up my computer to determine why it ran so hot, and I noticed that the fans were covered in dust. What is the best way to get it off.
If you look closely at the fans you’ll notice that there are 3 three screws and one connector on each fan to undo to remove the fans from the computer. Once the fan is removed just unscrew one little philips screw on the fan to open it and clean the inside with compressed air and isopropyl alcohol (use a Q-tip). Make sure to also clean the heatsink vents with compressed air.
To add to lemerise. Be sure to NOT let the fans spin up really fast when blowing them out with the compressed air. Very bad to do this. Can cause damage to the fan. Just place a finger on the fans to hold them in place while you blow them out.
