came today in the mail. I got a orange plastic thing with a button that you slide. When you push the button, a brush comes out. What is this for?

 

[Teny]

i never got one before, can you post a pic?
you got this right?

 

[rohan23]

Yes.

free brush ftw haha

 

[rohan23]

So, it's just for cleaning the heatsink of dust?

Free is a price I can ALWAYS afford.

So, it's just for cleaning the heatsink of dust?

Most likely for cleaning the heatsink, yes.

 

[Teny]

haha, i want one.
maybe its to clean the dust and residue off the heatsink and the CPU (after you cleared the previous thermal compound), before you apply the new thermal compound and the HSF.
make sure you dont clean certain parts of your computer, those might generate electricity and fry your computer.
