If you're talking about the video card fan, I did dissemble it and cleaned it very well. I used a wet washcloth to clean the fan blades. I tried to peel back the label on the top, but I gave up on that when I could see it wasn't gonna peel back. Sprayed a little WD-40 into it, even though I know I shouldn't have. It can't hurt anything, since the fan no longer works.
If you're talking about the CPU heatsink, sometime earlier this year, I dissembled that and cleaned it very well.
I just ordered a new video card and still need to choose a motherboard and CPU chip. I'm not in a hurry to order the rest of the parts, including a new hard drive.
