I just clean it up as much as I can, because I was worried about your fourth question will happening on my computer.
It’s always a risk when you crack the case. But running a machine hot will significantly reduce your system’s life expectancy
You are right, and that’s why I often ask others to do it. Hehe…
A cool cat like you should have no problems charming someone into cleaning your system…
A cool cat? It’s not his charm working for the stuff, but the paper with numbers… at least added it…
Clean it? What do we have a Geek Squad for?
I build my own systems, but I can see why others would want someone else to do it for them
I use a Mac but I also used compressed air.
