Noxious4 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Well I noticed that my CPU was about 10 degrees C hotter then when i first installed my SP-97 and Tornado... Then I decided to Remove the heatsink, reapply paste, and remove all dust. I took the fan off of my heatsink and found this. Click For Full size Literally, I'm not exagerating, a quarter of an inch thick dust. So I clean it and redo the paste, then i get this... I am Happy now. What do you think?

TheSternMystic Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I think you need to clean it a *little* more often. Do you have that thing on the floor? Computers like to suck in Dust bunnies and hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeV.o3 TwiZZler Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 (edited) thats pretty nasty lol. instead of just cleaning HS clean the whole case edit: i look at it again and it looks like a old sock that got sucked uped into the tornado lol Edited January 31, 2005 by SeV.o3 TwiZZler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computers like to suck in Dust bunnies and hair. 408215[/snapback] Yeah, it's about 6 inches off of the ground. I think the 119CFM is what made it build up so fast. Yeah i did clean the whole case.
