    I see that my PSU fan is damn dirty.
    But getting at it to clean it is a bit awkward.
    To people who have done this tak before -
    Is there any benefit to a PSU clean ?
    Do I stand to risk damaging the PSU or other things by doing it ?

    It is worth cleaning but note you must never open up the PSU.

    Just buy a can of compressed air and use that to clean away the build up of dirt and dust off the fans fins.

    Agreed, there are 2 reasons not to open a PSU.

    1. It stills holds a ratehr large charge even after being turned off for hours.

    2. you will invalidate your warrenty.
