Thanks MASQ, will try.
I'd also check if the System is fully updated with System's low level code such as BIOS/Firmware.

If the dust is that bad it's certainly easier to remove carefully by hand. My experience with compressed air without opening the case is similar to yours which is why I only recommend clearing it with the case open so you can directly see what's happening.

Check heatsinks and thermal pads/paste are connected.
Reassemble and test again
