Canned air on CPU pins

[Ethan Kelso]

Is this a safe idea to clean the cpu? this is the type i was looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Duster-Compressed-Flammable-400ml/dp/B000MQ7DZC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1392680175&sr=1-1&keywords=canned+air+for+computers.

they won't normally break but the cpu pin rarely gather dust so there's no need to clean them like this

Yes. All you are doing is blowing compressed are on the cpu. This will not cause any problems as long as you dont touch the gold on the bottom of the processor.

Yeah, buy it; it is also useful for cleaning keyboards, etc!
