Cooler (fan) - the device is small, is inside the system unit. More precisely, there are several of them, they cooled those components of the PCs that will overheat without it, will begin to collect. Powerful fans are responsible for the temperature of the processor, hard drive, there is cooling from modern video cards, inside the power supply. Favoring household dust can bring mechanisms in order to cause strong noise, problems in the work of the computer. Periodically make cleaning and lubrication of coolers.

The process of cleaning the computer coolers is not too complicated, it can be done independently. If a computer is more than a year, it is not warranty, then be patient, accurate and prepare the following:
Alcohol;
Water;
Soft fabric without a pile;
Tassel;
Lubricating oil;
Cruciform screwdriver;
Vacuum cleaner.

Close all running applications, de-energize the computer. To get to the coolers, remove its left side panel from the system unit, unscrewing screws on the back with a screwdriver. Press the panel, push out a few times before exiting the grooves. Turn the system unit to the right side. Working coolers suck inside the dust from the surrounding air, so you can clean the entire inner surface with a vacuum cleaner. Then wipe all available surfaces, radiators with a cloth moistened in alcohol.

You can turn on the computer with an open lid and listen which coolers are the most noisy, or clean them all. Most often, the cooler on the video card is most clogged. This is the largest element and stands above other boards. Disconnect the video card from the monitor. The cable has fastening screws - unscrew them, remove the connector. Separate the video card from the motherboard. It has fasteners on both sides. Unscrew the screws, move the fixative valve on the board. Large dust particles on the cooler remove the vacuum cleaner.

To remove shallow dust and lubricating the cooler, it should be removed from the video card. At the corners of the fan frame, unscrew the 4 screws. They are tiny, so it is better to take them with tweezers, unscrewed - a clock screwdriver or knife tip. Then disconnect the cooler from the power. Beg the locks, pull the connector. It is designed so that it will not be possible to put it wrong when assembling. Once again we spend the radiator, the blades of the cooler, wipe their cloth moistened in alcohol. It is advisable not to leave the fingerprints on the contacts of the video card, wipe them too.

From the back of the fan, remove the sticker. The axis and the cooler bearing will open. In the deepening, it is a slightly lubricant oil, return the sticker to the place. Collect all the details in the reverse order: install the cooler, insert into the power connector, strengthen the video card on the motherboard using screws and snaps, connect the monitor cable.

In the system unit there are still other fans that require cleaning. Clean them from dust with a brush. It is best to do it in the bathroom over the sink. Remove the fan from the motherboard is difficult, the thermal paste is required. Therefore, it is better to clean, without removing the cooler, vacuum cleaner, tassel, napkin. Blowing out dust from radiators, make sure that it does not dare again on the motherboard connectors. Remove it immediately with a damp cloth.

If there is a thermal paste, you can clean the cooler of the processor more carefully. The blades of the cooler, the walls of the radiator, the surface of the processor is treated with a cloth moistened in alcohol. Remove from the radiator pieces of old thermal paste. Exactly apply the thermal panel layer on the radiator and the processor, install them in place. Attach the side panel of the system unit.
As for laptops, this subtle operation is better to trust the experienced hands of experts. The unprofessional can damage the compact assembly when cleaning the coolers, and the result will be sad.
