<p>During the summer months I've been experiencing a problem with my PC (Intel NUC). It was getting very warm to the point where it would switch itself off. The frequency of this was increasing. It reached the point where I was thinking of having to buy a replacement</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">My brother researched this for me and discovered it could simply be dust. I took the plunge and dismantled the NUC. I'm not a hardware guy so felt very nervous about it but did so with the thought that at worst I would have to buy another one.</p>

<p>When I got down to the fan and heatsink that sits on the CPU there was a lot of dust. I blew and brushed it out with a fine artists brush. As a consequence of splitting the heatsink from the CPU I had to buy thermal paste as part of the reassembly.</p>

<p>After some fiddling around the NUC was back together and running very cool with a quiet fan.</p>
