CPU is an AMD Phenom 955 X4, temperature is it idling after idling for a couple of hours. Its max temperature is, according to AMD, "62C" however I hit 77C last night. The GPU is a GTX 560 which maxes out under load at 56C & the chassis is a cheap GZ-X6.
I'm planning to dust it, but I'm not sure which "brand" of compressed air would be best. Whilst I'm competant with computers, I'm not confident enough to change CPU fans or reapply paste so I'd obviously prefer to use that option(s) as a last resort.
What steps should I take, Anandtech?
