Shoutout to the guy who showed me how to properly clean a heatsink

My shop's callbacks for overheating PCs dropped by half in the last two months after I started using a soft brush and 91% isopropyl instead of just compressed air. Anyone have a better method for really caked-on dust in tight spaces?

Wait, you were just using air before? I mean, how did that even get the sticky stuff off?

The can was literally empty, @carter.ben, I just blew on it like a birthday candle.

That "how did that even work" feeling is everywhere... like when shaking a ketchup bottle fixes it.
