Is it ok to vacuum NUC-I3-8109U from exterior without disassemblying ?

i am not confident to disassemble - i set maximum processor state to 75% and quiet cooling in the BIOS - i want NUC to be as quiet as possible - i only use internet and email - no other programs

No, a vacuum won't work. Get a can of compressed air and blow into the chassis through the various air openings, especially the exhaust port on the back panel.

thanks ! so ok without disassembling to use can of air ? how often to do it ? thanks again - paul

I recommend every 6-8 weeks; it all depends upon how dusty your environment is. If it's really dusty, do it every 4 weeks.

great - txx - scott - is it ok to use bycle pump compressed air ? - i live in a kibbutz and we have this for filling up air in our bicycle tires ...... i gues the can has less pressure

Might work. The higher the CFM, the better. Try to concentrate the airflow as much as possible. The canned stuff comes with teeny tube that really concentrates it.
