Dusty Graphics Card

I tend to use a soft artists brush and at the same time float the end of a hoover over what im cleaning ( but not in direct contact with the pc ) to catch the dust
 
Thanks for the replies people. Just wondering, i went and overclocked my Radeon 9250 AGP card yesterday by around 10 mhz, ive just spend about half an hour figuring out why my computer wouldnt get past the Windows Logo screen, had to return the clock to default through VGA mode. So i guess i shouldnt really clock it anymore?.
 
I found a compressed air can to be absolutely useless and ended up takin it to bits to clean it. :)

EDIT: Thats my old graphics card after about 2 years of not being cleaned.

tbh a pump is way better than compressed air.

i used a pump to fill up airbeds, and its so good for your pc. you can get to every tiny little spot.

Mine was in very similar condition so i stripped it and cleaned it up. This is the only flaw with this cooler, should be easier to get access to the fins for cleaning.
