How to safely clean GPU fan?

[Sushubh]

great. so many years have passed by and i am still looking for a compressed air can to clean the GPU fan which is making so much noise that it is driving me insane. someone guide me please?
i have a feeling i have asked this question before. :

I put a pen/pencil between the fan fins to stop it spinning then use this to blow the dust http://www.ebay.in/itm/Heavy-Duty-Portable-400watt-1200RPM-Electric-Blower-High-Quality-1-Year-Warty-/171005459589?pt=IN_Home_Appliances&hash=item27d0b83c85
Your temps are normal , GPU below 75 C are normal

this sounds better than paying similar price for a canister of air. 😀
but are you sure it would not damage the gpu? 🙂

Use in small bursts , i have been using for two years on my PSU , gpu , cpu , nothing has been damaged yet , Ebay price is high in nehru place this blower sells for 400
Cheaper here , there maybe 100/150 off code on Paytm after Rs 10 recharge http://www.shopclues.com/electric-air-dryer-portable-blower-vacuum-vaccum.html

nehru place kaun jayega :
what about a hair dryer 😀 for right now? i think most of them have a no-heat setting which just blow regular air?

Did you check the shopclues link? Hairdrier wont be as powerful as this blower

delivery of that blower would take a week knowing shopclues. need something in the meantime 🙂

lol. turns out no one in this house uses a hair dryer as well. :
ordering from shopclues i guess. let me try Paytm for a discount coupon 😀

why to buy the blower, include it in tools to buy list for later,
you can clean it using cotton buds, using rubber pipe method
or try using straw too

well i guess. a blower can come handy to clean the case as well. it has been collecting dust for almost 2-3 years now. even though it is safe for use for just around 30 seconds in one go, i guess it might be worth the price tag for what it offers?

I blow off the dust with a Eureka Forbes Euroclean Turbo vacuum cleaner....the sucker is quite powerful though it looks tiny. It comes with a small nozzle attachment which can send a powerful jet of air through all the components.

Another place where a lot of dust collects is the power supply enclosure.

I have used body spray to clean PCBs. I am sure fan can be cleaned with it as well.
