So I'm planning to clear out the dust in my CPU fan as quite alot has built up recently, anything dangerous I should look out for? Also will I have to reapply the thermal paste once I take off the fan? Thx!!!

Hi Andy0432
if you are only removing dust you do not need to remove the heatsink and fan
hold the fan blade so as it doesn't wizz round while you blow out the heatsink and you should be fine , unless temps are bad then i would remove the heatsink and reapply thermal paste
