Quick question.

Could you say that Canned Air is another way to somewhat cool down your computer?

Not saying to spray the air to blow the heat away, but to clean out the system by blowing it out of fans. I think that's one thing lacking in this guide. The fans and heatsink will inevitably accumulate dust, reducing it's ability to move air or remove air from the system. Therefore, cleaning is a really important step in cooling down the PC isn't it?

Canned Compressed Air will lower your temperatures at a one-off time. Dust can make the temperature rise, so cleaning it out will give you lower temperatures, assuming you have noticable dust.
