    You can use the method that requires the less disassembly. Open the back panel and blow through the exhaust with canned gas. That should do the trick in 99% of cases. Unless you live in an extremely dusty environment that should be all you need.

    You'd need a disassembly guide for that since sometimes it can or can't be removed. Anyways, just removing the small panel and blowing through the heatsink should be enough.

    I looked for said disassembly guide but haven't found one yet.
