Air-dusters work better, IMHO, & have less risk of static discharge. Maplin's are a cheaper source than PC World & Poundland (when they have them) a much cheaper source than Maplin's. To really get the crud out of a heatsink, though, tends to require removal of the fans, and possibly removal of the heatsink from the CPU & consequent removal of the old TIM compound and replacement with fresh TIM. None of this is hard, but it's a bit fiddly. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
