I use vacumm cleaner too sometimes, but on the casing usually.

Awww... compressed air it is. Why couldn't Intel make something easier with screws instead of tabs?

I read before it will spoil the pc by releasing static charges or something like that. which the hardware is very prone to. that why when u buy hardware , they are seal in a anti static plastic. correct me if i am wrong

I don't think that is true, because a vacuum cleaner sucks air and dust from a surface. I don't see how it can deposit static on the cooler. To be safe though, you can remove the cooler before using the vacuum cleaner on it.

Personally, I prefer to wash the heatsink and fan... and then dry them in the sun.

Actually it's not recommended because it may damage the motor or bearing.

well, a normal brush might work..to clean the dust o.o

Brush is OK, but not as effective as water. Maybe a damp cloth would be good.
