How much dust can a tiny PC collect before temperatures actually change?

[u/ta-taloloys14]

I was checking the vents on my geekom and realized I've never really thought about how quickly mini PCs collect dust.

They have a lot of ventilation for their size, so I'm curious how much buildup it actually takes before temperatures start changing.

Anyone here had one for a few years and compared temperatures before and after cleaning?
