So far it seems like trying to clean the CPU cooler without removing the
fan, as I smoke my CPU fan develops a wad of dust gummed together with
cigarette tar - there is no alternative to taking the fan off, while its off
its a good idea to peel the label off the hub and see if it has a plastic

*quickly* and your time is not worth much, although it's kind of
satisfying cleaning and reusing.
If I really feel the need to reuse HSAs then I usually separate the fan,
wash the heatsink and dry it, replace the thermal compound and use a
paint brush on the fan. If the fan loses its 'bounce' then it gets
replaced. Difficult to explain but people will know what I mean if
they've seen it, if the bearing is in good condition on a fan, the
blades sort of bounce when they come to rest as the stator and magnet
align themselves.
Almost definitely not worth my time to do this unless the assembly is
very special so it's really not worth your time Jim unless you're
looking for some mind numbing grunt work to relax with.

I'd end up with a convulsive coughing fit!
For a while I tried those paper fibre dust masks that fit over the nose and

so I had to take it off and throw it away.
You don't have to venture onto the motorway to find these levels of
pollution either, a few years ago I built a NiCd charger out of an old XT

the window open, the pollution from the street outside would clog the fan

Not that I know of. Looks like I've left everything there as default.
or are you short on Disk space?
Nope. Using 21GB out of 80GB available.
I never had such peculiarities until I moved "up" to WinXp Pro from
Win2K. I'm sorry I ever did that.
