Hello, new here and don't know anything about computers. did a search and It seems everyone uses compressed air to clean fans & heatsink my question,Is It ok to do It with a vacuum cleaner cleaner?

Short Answer: No, you can severely damage your components if the vacuum cleaner was to give a device a static shock, you don't want to risk it.
