    I personally used to use a small, soft paintbrush to rub everything down (good for the fans and heatsinks) followed by carefully running the hoover pipe inside of it.



    After my last 360's first clean out it knocked 10 degrees Celsius off the CPU temps and around 5c off the GPU. Well worth doing for the sake of 10 minutes.

    Re: Do you clean your 360?

    Just got the shock of my life. I decided to open my xbox up after 5 years of use to give it a clean. Now I was expecting to find a lot of dust and crap because I've had it so long. To my absolute amazement there is NOT one inch of dust anywhere inside my console!!! WTH??!! haha! It looks like a brand new machine inside! I guess in a way it's a compliment as to how clean I keep my house lol! My house and in particular the area where my console sits is always spotless. Seriously though, you'd expect something....right?

    Re: Do you clean your 360?

    I don't -leave- my 360 open, but keep the face plate off so I can easily disassemble it when need be. I've been using the same machine since about a year after launch, so I have to keep it in working order; for a while I hardly ever cleaned it, but now I clean it anytime it starts having problems. My disk drive has been failing pretty bad over the past year, so I cleaned it about a month ago and everything's been running great since then.

    Mostly I just listen to the sounds it makes, and clean it when I think it needs it. Otherwise, I clean it only once every three months or so. It's been working great for me so far.

    I clean it once a year. Never got much dust in it. Got to be because a clean de house once a week. But maybe i'll start cleaning my 360 every 3 or 6 months. Got 3 cats now and lots of cat fur rolling everywhere.
