Cleaned out all my PC's Dust!

[glocktodahead]

So today I cleaned out all my PC's dust with one of those compressed air can things. It was so disgusting lol. First time i've done it in like 4 months. I had been getting 51-54 degree's load for my CPU without it being cleaned and 40-45 idle. After it was cleaned I checked my temps and was surprised to see that I was running 33 degrees idle and 42 under load! lol amazing what a lil' cleaning will do. I will make this a routine now.

I opened the side of my girlfriend's parents' PC to clean the dust and there was a spider living in there - cobwebs and everything!

I blew out all of my fans, in between my heatsink pipes, cleared the dust of the gpu etc etc.

Watercooling FTW. Never have to worry about dust CPU heatsinks, only dusty rads .

Once I build my new PC after vista comes out I think I might go to watercooling. Until then I'll just hafta clean lol

Yeah and I think that's worse, lol.

Well yeah when you have a triple 120MM rad, but it isn't bad with only 1x120MM
