Then I use a can of compressed gas (the sort used for camera lenses and such) to blast away dust in hard-to-reach nooks and especially the CPU fan and heatsink and other hotspots identified by Intel (my board is an Intel board). Because of the dust this dislodges, I finish with a second careful vacuuming. Hope this helps.
