Guide to cleaning your comp and putting oil on your fans

Sample of the machine i used:
sample of computer before:
note: if you are using a machine do not forget to hold down the blades while blowing it:
sample of computer afterwards:
although it does not look much cleaner it still had a lot of dust inside, especially inside the heat sink of the CPU and under the fans.(this causes extra thermal cycling).

here is the the guide for cleaning a computer fans (applies to most designs):

extra tips (please read first):

1.make sure you do not tamper with the coils,do not even touch them...they are very fragile.

2.clean up any excess oil spilt

3.if you have put oil,do not clean all of it out of the sleeve,or your job will be pointless...leave about a drop inside(making sure it goes underneath the white clip).

4.DO NOT PUT EXCESS PRESSURE OR SPEED(BY BLOWING) ON THE BLADES,FAILING TO COMPLY WILL DAMAGE YOUR FAN

NOTE: you do not have to continue all these procedures...alternitavely you can just put 1 or 2 drops of oil in the sleeve hollow of the fan, get it under the white clip. the continued steps are for more extreme cases or if you just want to make sure.
