I clean it out when it needs it using a vacuum cleaner. I started cleaning my xbox out when it started overheating because there was so much dust. I opened it up the first time and the heat sink over the CPU was a block of dust.

About twice in a month
I've had my 360 for about 4 years now and it's never been opened and I've never had a single problem with it. It gets a bit noisy now and then depending on what game I am playing but it's always served me well? Do you think the noise is from a lot of dust or is that just the 360 in general?
If its not fan modded then I'd guess that the fans are cranking themselves up a bit to compensate for the heat inside. In 4 years I bet there's a shit storm of dust inside it and it will definitely be ready for a clean out. Once the heat sinks get full of dust your 360 will heat up more and more until it inevitably overheats and red rings. Might be worth just taking a peek inside and looking.









yup every 2 months i clean mine! still running strong never rrod!
