    Nooooooooooo. Spraying air at the fan will make it spin, creating a dynamo effect, killing your motherboard!
    BTW, has anyone ever told you that you sound like Cleveland off Family Guy? Just a thought.

    I’m about 100% sure its the dust build up because my room has been re-done and there is a ton of dust and i think that is the reason…..now i need compressed air. -_-
