The lamellas of the heatsink are filled with dust and I could clean it more if I unsrewed the fan and using a Q-tip between the lamellas. Then I thought about replacing the heatsink-fan as it was working very hard and loud when I got it - I don't know how long it have been doing that before I got it and I thought it might be good to replace it. Would it be okay to just clean the heatsink on the outside like this?
How much dust usually gets underneath the heatsink?
