Is there any way to effectively and safely clean out the dust without the use of a can of compressed air? Or is buying one more effective? I would rather not go out to buy a can.
If it is the only way to clean the gpu would it also be more effective to take the gpu out and clean it?
Thanks- Elite

It'd be quite hard to reach in there though, would it be safe to use a small brush? people have said that there may be static but...

Cannot that contain static? Also if I take out my gpu and clean it, can just putting it back in normally mess with my drivers where the pc tries to re-detect a new gpu? or does it not affect it at all?

It's the gigabyte windforce cooler. The heatsink has dust nearly caked on, also on the back of the fans near the heatsink. I could use a brush but it'd be pretty hard to reach inside there.
